editing blog

 This class I started to edit the music video. We finally finished filming all of the footage on Tuesday and were ready to begin the editing. When editing we faced many challenges. First, the school laptops are very old and super slow. It took forever for everything to load. From just turning on the computer it took almost twenty minutes for the computer to even start. Then after the computer finally loaded getting onto Pinnacle Studios was another challenge. It would always show the message that the computer could not load Pinnacle Studios. So after three computers of showing the same message we went to talk to the teacher for help. She noticed that we were trying to import straight from my jump drive rather then creating a folder then importing.
 So we made the folder and imported the footage into the folder. At that point we were finally able to start editing. For the first couple of clips of the video, everything was going smoothly. Then when we were nearing the middle part of the music video we noticed another problem. Some of the footage was blocked by Pinnacle Studios. We couldn't view the videos while we could see others. Once again we went to our teacher for help. She was very confused because she never saw that problem before. She thought that it was because we filmed it on our phone but every other clip that was showing up was shot on the phone as well. So we made the choice to give up on Pinnacle Studios and use IMovie instead.
Everything was going so much better with IMovie until we yet again faced another challenge. When we were done editing everything the music video was only forty seconds. It has to be at least one minute five seconds.  But we figured out some ways to add more time. We are going to add a title slide and an ending slide. These both will add more time. Also, if we still need more time we will film some more footage. These things should get us to the correct time. Although we faced many difficulties we got the music video done. It was a long process but I am happy it is finished
