We were given 2 google drive files containing clips from advertisement videos named mints and Doritos. The exercise was to combine all the clips to create a complete advertisement. We were taught on creating sequences and some basic presets of editing.

Teacher also said that we need to mark out the video to indicate the ending. Fig. 1.1 Marking out, Week 1 (20/04/2026) After that, I exported both of the completed videos.
