Final Editing Blog

        My group started editing our video on Tuesday. However, we were having some major technical difficulties as the computer we were using was very not starting up as first. Our editing software, Pinnacle Studios was not opening in the beginning. After multiple tries and restarts, we were finally able to open up the editing software. Even though, Pinnacle Studios finally opened, it was extremely slow to oven operate. Every click and editing took a while to respond.  So while we were waiting for the computer to respond, my group decided to look through all the different takes and pick out the best scenes so we can use for our commercial. It took a while looking through our raw footages as we took many different tales of the same scene as we wanted to provide the best angle and lightning. We were having different disagreements on some scenes as each of us thought another scene was better than others. We finally came to the conclusion of the right scenes we will use to complete our commercial.

            As we already chose all our wanted scenes, we were still having some technical difficulties with finishing the commercial as the computer was very slow. The editing software was very slow as well. Slowly by slowly, we added transitions to each scene. We also went online to choose a background song for the commercial as in our commercial, we had no dialogue so we needed a right song that would go along with our commercial. We decided to settle on a perfect music video that we thought would go very well with our commercial. Next, we played with the different transitions and cut out any unwanted scenes. It took a while for us to choose different transitions for even scenes as that is quite important for our commercial. At the end, we were all happy with the transitions.

           We continued to edit our video on Thursday. Again, we were having technical difficulties opening Pinnacle Studios so we wasted a lot of time in the beginning of class just starting up the editing software. After multiple tries, we were able to get back into where we left off last Tuesday. As we already chosen our transition for each of our sequence, we needed to cut out some scenes that wouldn’t fit right into our commercial. So we look through each scene and cut out some scenes as this commercial must be under a set amount of time. With so many different scenes, we had to be smart with what scenes to cut out and what scenes are important.  As Thursday was a PSD Day, we only such little time to do some editing as not only was our computer had a hard time opening Pinnacle Studios, but it was acting extremely slow so we ended up not finishing the whole commercial. We will be continuing our editing next class.
