Editing Our Footage

Last Friday we continued to edit our film. Unfortunately, we ran into more problems again. Just our luck huh! If you have seen my past blogs, you would understand that we have been having problems for a while now. Although, this time was different from the last. For some reason, the laptop we usually use was missing. We looked in the laptop cart as well as went around the class asking if someone has it. After looking throughout the whole class we could not find it. We need to use the same laptop throughout the whole editing process because that is how the program works. My reasoning behind this is that the editing that is done is saved to the laptop and not the account. This means that you have to make sure you use the same laptop. It was a huge disadvantage that we did not find our laptop. I say this because we are already behind on editing and this just set us further back. After all of this, we had to come up with some sort of solution. To avoid any other hiccups we decided to get 3 more laptops just in case pinnacle studios doesn't work on one or two of them. My computer booted up first and opened pinnacle studios so we decided to use mine. Pinnacle studios took a long time to start up as usual. Fortunately, we already had the music and font size decided before the fact so it went pretty smoothly after. After pinnacle studios finally loaded we had to import all the footage onto this computer as well because it was a new computer. We did not get much done because most of the class we were sorting out the problems. We put the laptops away and hoped that next time our computer will be available. All in all, it was not very successful and I do not know how we are going to get the rest of the editing done.
