Let's EDIT!

After filming our music video thanksgiving break we finally were able to edit. On the first B day we had back, Kaliyah got the computers from the cart to start dumping the raw footage. We used Kaliyah's  USB to create a folder to dump the footage. The organization made it easier for us to locate where our raw footage is. I dragged all of the raw footage into the Music Video folder on the USB. It took me almost the whole class period to dump all of the footage. The computer would glitch from time to time which made the process slower. While dumping, I didn't realize the amount of footage we recorded. I knew it was going to take us awhile to import the footage into pinnacle studios as well. About five minutes before the bell, I finished dumping all the footage.

Next class, we imported the footage into pinnacle studios. Surprisingly, it didn't take long to put the footage into pinnacle studios. After all of the raw footage was imported, we finally started editing! The first thing that we did was drag the footage into the order that we want them to be in. Let' s just say, these computers are not the best.  While we were organizing the footage, the computer started to move slow. The school computers are the worst! However, we had to work with what we got. As we were looking over our footage, we realized how much fun we had while creating the music video. It is by far one of our favorite assignments we had to do for this class.

When we finished organizing the footage into the correct order, we realized that the video was over 2 minutes. So, we started to cut unnecessary parts so that the music video can be under 2 minutes long. Again, the computers were not on our side and started lagging. Also, the computer's battery was running low. We had to quickly charge the computer before we lost all the work we did in pinnacle studios. Due to the inconveniences, we were only able to edit the beginning of the music video. Before the class period was over we watched the beginning and lets just say we were really proud of the outcome. It brings the chill vibe that we wanted for the video. However, we only have until Monday to complete the entire video! This means that we have to work on the video during our study hall and lunch.
