Summing Up Editing

In this blog, I will be talking about my journey through editing. Before the final task, my knowledge about filming was very limited. Throughout the final task, I slowly understood and learned more and more about editing. I gained this information in a couple different ways. One of them being through my groupmate's teachings. The second one being through personal experience and messing around with the software until I understood it. During our editing journey, we ran into many problems. We were unsuccessful even on our first day of editing. For some unknown reason our editing software, pinnacle studios, would not open. We tried it on multiple computers and multiple accounts but had no luck. We went through that class waiting for it to startup but it never did which led to us being very unproductive throughout the class period. After being in the class for an hour and trying almost everything the problem solved itself. The computer finally loaded up pinnacle studios. Unfortunately, it took so long for it to load we only had about 1/3 of the class left to edit. We started off right away in an attempt to get the most work done possible. Class after class this kept happening to us so we did not get a lot of editing done. We then ran into problems with the coronavirus and needing to leave school. Due to the coronavirus, we were forced to not come to school. This was a big problem for us because all of the editing materials we had were the ones the school provided us with. With the fact that we had no way to edit we had to purchase all of the editing materials ourselves. In the end, we are going to finish our editing and our final task even though we ran into many problems.
