Our class was able to edit today because we got a new computer cart with our editing software on it. However, our class had to take turns using the laptops because of the limited number. Our group was able to edit for about 40 minutes. This was enough time to go through all of our clips and sort them in the way that our commercial will go. However, we did run into a problem.We had to make sure our video was within the 30 second time limit. This was a challenge. We had too many clips, and when we first assembled the video with all of our clips, it came out to be a minute and a half long. We had to trim and cut out many of our clips. We made sure not to cut out the important clips, like the intro and outro. We managed to get our video just at 30 seconds, but there was another challenge. To give our commercial a little spice, I was planning on putting video transitions. This includes, dissolve effects, and zoom effects. This would for sure make our video stand out from the rest of the class. However, with the 30 second limit, I was not sure if we were going to be able to pull this off.
I plan to work on this project some more on a software called adobe premiere pro, which I am more familiar with. I do not know how to use transitions in pinnacle studios, so I will do it on premiere pro.
I learned a lot about editing today in class. I think the most important thing was just exploring on pinnacle studios and trying to find a solution when I am not familiar with something. I think it is very important to know many things, including how to use different software. If I could have done something different with the project, it would have been the filming process. Our group needs to work on making our filming more concise, because we had too much, and as a result had to delete and trim many clips to make the 30 second time limit. This made the editing process much harder, but we managed to get it done. We were also able to make our commercial look nice.
