Editing blog

I began editing my music video. First thing was open up my computer but it had to restart. I had to wait about five minutes until it was working normally again. I took out SD card from my camera and inserted it into my computer. I dumped everything onto the desktop and launched iMovie. I had to go through all the raw videos to place them in the order of the song being played. I was afraid I would’ve had to reshoot a scene. It was sort of cut off but I was able to fix it. Luckily, there weren’t many complications at first. It got harder as I kept looking and rearranging videos.
I had all my videos in order and then I began cropping. In some videos, I recorded a few seconds before the actual part for that scene. I did this for safety reasons. It would be better to have more footage and crop it out instead of not having enough and the whole music video being out of place. It took me a bit to figure out how to crop a video. However, after looking it up on the internet, I was able to crop all the videos I wanted. I think iMovie was much easier to use than Pinnacle Studios. iMovie was just very straightforward. Pinnacle Studios had too many buttons on the screen that didn’t quite make sense. By the time I clicked it to see what it did, it would do the thing I didn’t want it to do in the first place.
Overall, the editing process was quite simple. I’ve had some experience when it comes to softwares on my iMac. This has allowed me to find everything very easy. I finished editing everything. The music video ran smoothly for the most part. I spent a few hours working on it. After putting the videos in place, I added the music. I had to download the song from the internet. I then opened up a folder in my computer to move the song to my project. I trimmed the song so that it would play from the beginning of my part. The entire music video was about 1 minute.
