Editing Blog

Today is Monday, October 14th, 2019. Today the whole class learned about editing and took notes. For the camera, we have to fill out the paper in the cubby by the door. Then, bring the form to Ms Katz. On to editing, in which we learned that we have to use the same computer every class along with the same login. After we are done filming and whatnot, we put the SD card in the SD card reader and open up a folder to save our date. This is where we will dump our footage from our camera to the computer. When going to find your footage, you have to go to DCIM, which is where your camera footage should me. If not, then  go to private, then press on AVCHD, then folder, and finally to stream.

In your footage folder, highlight your videos and import them into pinnacle studios. First, you need to press on desktop and then press on folder. You have to import every time after you are done filming. This is because sometime yours footage could get lost on the SD card. Before editing your footage, the clips are called raw footage, which is basically footage that has yet to go through the editing process. One thing to note is that everything is layered in editing, which is shown in movies, tv shows, cartoons, etcerta.

If there is a clip that you do not like, then you can go to the cut section. From there, you highlight that specific clip and press delete to get rid of that clip. If you did this, there is a redo button to add back that deleted section. If you want to get rid of audio, you can right click on the clip and press detach audio. Then highlight it and press delete. Detach audio is also how voice overs are created. Looking into your edits, you can see different colored bars. For example, the green bar means you changed something within that clip from enhancing and yellow with black marks means you sped up. After you are finished, make sure you export your footage (next to the import button) and make sure it's on MP 4 and full size SD. If you want to add music, you can download music from youtube
