Editing Problems

I started editing my video only to find out that the clips are too long. In order to resolve this I have tried several techniques. I have copied and pasted a long clips making sure I have two of the same clip then split the play head on one off them. Although I took this approach the the clips did not match the upbeat/tempo of the track so this was a no go!

My second technique was the old fashion way which was to go out and film again ensuring that I film from different angles. Considering I had filmed already I just had to ask the singers/dancers to repeat the verses so that I can get different shots and angles. To be honest I should have thought of this before it would have been much easier. Anyway one thing I have learnt about filming is that you learn through trail and error!
