EDITING BLOG

 Hey, it’s me again, today in class we covered the topics of camera usage. We also covered editing and how to use the program. We went over how to use and check out a camera. We learn how to operate the editing software. We learned how to import files from the camera. Also she taught us the importance of doing everything the way she says. She explain the track and what they’re for. We were also taught of the different departments in the editing application. There are keywords that we were taught. For example, dumping and raw footage.

  When our teacher taught us about the cameras she told us how they work and how to handle them. Each camera must be checked out formally to keep track of the device. To start and stop rolling you press the silver button with the red line on it on the side of the camera. On the flip side is where the SD card goes, to insert you just push it in and eject it you push on the card again and it pops out. the SD card must be dumbed before every return. If it isn’t dumped you may loose all of your footage. Dumbing is transferring footage from the camera to the desktop into a folder. The camera comes with a tripod. To put the camera on you have to screw the bouncy thing onto the camera and put it back on the tripod. She said if the tripod needs to be moved it must be closed completely before transportation.


     Then we went into editing.The program we are using for editing is called Pinnacle Studios. To start you open Pinnacle Studios and click edit screen, file, new movie and it clears everything. Use the footage from the folder you’ve save your footage to import those files. To do so you must click on import the desktop + sign and click your folder and add everything you need to add. While editing there are three tracks AV track 1, 2, and 3. AV track 1 is title, track 2 is film, and 3 is music. If we want to do a voice over we can detach the sound then delete it. we can split and take out pieces of the footage. And lastly before finishing we must render the project. Rendering is making all of the footage flow together smoothly.
