Posing song - how to cut

[EdgeCrusher1982]

Hi guys, first show coming up. I have my song picked out for my individual routine, however I don't know how to cut the minute out of it that I want to submit to the promoter. What software are you guys using for this purpose? Preferably something idiot proof. I have a windows laptop and an android based phone if that helps

Also, since I'm new here, and so you'll know I'm serious.
I'm 42 yrs old, 6', started prep at 251lbs. Started working out at 35yrs old. Included is a pic of my 5 yr progress, the current pic is beginning of prep at that 251

Wish I could be more useful on the software

Solid transformation though man. Night and day difference between the two photos

What’s the song ?

My last show I found a guy who mixed together a medley of AC/DC and Disturbed.

He did in a way that the vocals of 2 songs playing simultaneously did not overlap but you could hear the music of both songs in tandem.

It was totally bad ass.

Fantastic transformation. Hats off to you time.

Curious. What song(s) did you choose?

In the past I've either used a DJ I know who could edit music as well as no problem putting it on both a thumb drive and CD.

2 years ago I found a sound engineer, music editor just a few streets down from me. He never edited music for a bodybuilding show and thought it was cool and helped me out.

We got on a computer in a studio. I showed him the song from the video I was interested in on YouTube. In a matter of minutes he had a clipped, reformatted to make it sound even better and charged me $30 for it. It's actually a cool experience to watch him mix and manipulate what I had already chosen and made it sound even better than what I wanted.

So at a minimum maybe look up nearby DJ's and sound engineers, music editors

Actually you bring up a good point, a friend of mine is in bands, he probably has a way or knows someone who does

Great progress for five years! But I must say I'm disappointed you're not posing to the song I'm betting you took your username from.

Last time i needed to making a posing tape was when cassette tapes were being used. And i just used my high tech stereo system with my phonograph dual cassette tape and it even had a new state of the art disc player thing for a new fangled thing called CD's. Turned out good. Me and Dorian both like Carmina Burana! I think he may have pulled it off a little better then me though.

1. Use a website to download a video from youtube. Lots out there, just google "download youtube video for free"
2. Whack the video into an editor (iMovie on Mac is free) and shorten to length needed.
3. Export as an mp3 instead of mp4/video or..
4. Upload the video to an mp3 to mp4 video converter.

Full disclosure- I have someone on my web/design team do it every show for me, but they always try to “teach” me how to do it on my own and send me the above every time.

Also, I have found most posing coaches know or will put together your music for you if you pay them for coaching as they are doing your routine.

This is solid information, thank you so much
