Editing Blog Part 2

Today, we finally were able to edit. The computers we had before did not work. The new laptops we got had pinnacle studios and all the wifi worked. Unfortunately, our previous laptops slowed down our editing process by 2 days. When we finally did get to edit, other periods had trouble with their new laptops. Ms. Cats didn't think it was fair if they got extra days and we didn't. Therefore she gave us 3 days to edit, instead of the planned 2. This was great for my group to hear because we were doing a split-screen while editing, which is very complicated. Since this was a part of our storyboard, we had to stick with this way of editing. Our last day of editing is on Friday and all we have to do is go over anything that isn't perfect. (10)
My 1st job during editing was filming voiceovers. When we were planning out the commercial, we imagined a voiceover as our choice of sound. My job was to film everyone and put it into the software. During the days we couldn't edit, we filmed the voiceovers. I made sure everyone knew their part and would say it clearly and loudly. Even though my group members didn't want to film our faces, we had to make sure the sound was the best. This was because the microphone on the camera is right below the lens. We had to film the voiceover a few different times. This was because we didn't know how long all our clips were. We re-filmed the voiceovers to make it longer or shorter and to be louder or quieter. Although this process sounds short, it took a lot of time making sure the audio was perfect. (11)
Another thing I had to do was put the voiceover on to the final video. This was hard because we had to make sure that the sound fit exactly with the scenes. The first thing I had to do was detach the audio from the original videos, with the content on them. This was done by right-clicking the footage. Then I deleted the attached audio. We had to put the voiceover videos onto AV Track 3. This allowed us to hear the audio but not see the footage that was recorded. I had to listen to them and watch the clips to make sure that they fit perfectly aligned with the content. We even had to sign out cameras again and film a few of the voiceovers again. In the end, the audio worked perfectly and I got to learn how to edit voiceovers, which will be very helpful for future problems. (10)
