Why You Are Not Done With Your Survey...

• If your survey is under 1:30 min long
• If your track has lyrics. Nope - Instrumental only
• If your track is too loud under your clips > Adjust yellow line
• If ANY of your audio is “in the red’ > Adjust Yellow line
• If your audio is too low – Right-click  ‘Audio gain’ set to higher number
• If your title does not move – See Ch. 7 in Adobe Textbook
• If you have no topic-related photos enhancing your title background
• If your survey just cuts off at the end (add transitions / fade out)
TAKE YOUR GROUP QUIZ on Ch. 6 Packet
= you still have work to do.
