Editing Music Video in Final Cut: Tips?

[adambyte]

I have decided to take on the task of making a music video for my room-mate's Christian Hardcore Band... anyway, after a couple days of shooting on my Canon camera, I have captured and synchronized large clips of video with their studio recording... and it looks great. However... Now I'm facing the decisons of what clips to cut to and when... any general tips?

This is going to be one heck of an improvement over their last video, which was lit badly and had slow editing/pacing...

any tips? Things you've learned when doing music videos? Also, is there a Final Cut plug in that lets you see ALL of the video tracks at the same time, and then sort of lets you call which track to bring up on the fly? Sort of like a live broadcast that I can refine?

wow - from the screen shot, it looks like you're handling it like a pro.
don't know that I can add anything that would help.
but would love to see the finished product. make sure to post a link or something when you're finished.
