I dont have any editing knowledge besides torrenting vegas and watching youtube tutorials so Im looking for very basic ideas.

I have a 90 second shot of my bunny running around and I want to make it look more interesting and still keep the clip at 90 seconds.

Ideas so far, which I don't even know if I'm capable of:
-some sort of fluid border around the shot if I can find one
-a transition effect at certain parts of the song Im using
-combining fast and slow motion ( this seems like it might be a challenge to get it to match the 90 seconds)

thanks

why does it have to be exactly 90 seconds?

its approx 90 seconds but the point is it needs to stay the same length bc it matches up with the song really well the way it is

ah i see. i would have to say by trying to make it more interesting you could possibly overdo it and have too much editing and what not that sort of throws it off. transitions in a continuous clip are a huge distraction i think. if you think its kinda boring, make it fit to a shorter part of the song and add cuts then to give it a lil more dynamic look. thats my thought, although if its an interesting single shot with a lot going on and a lot of moving, that can be very interesting too
