Music Video Edditing blog

  Today we finally finished this hard trial of editing our film and i'm glad we are finally done with this project. It has been over 3 days of editing this footage and each day had its own problems. The first day of editing was a day right after we filmed all of our footage. The whole day we were trying to transfer our footage from Paige's phone to Pinnacle studios. This was a tough problem to solve because nothing was working. At first we tried to transfer the film by Gmail. This didn't work because it couldn't handle transfering all of them at once so we tried doing them one by one we transferred the film one by one and it started going smoothly. Half way through transfering the film  some of shots wouldn't transfer. We spent the rest of the period trouble shooting on how to fix this problem and we asked Ms. Kats and she gave us her flash drive so paige could transfer all of the film at home from her computer to the flashdrive so we can use it at school.
   The next day of editing it also had it troubles. Paige and I kept switching back and forth on if we should use the vertical shots and horizontal. At first we were going to do a mix but everything looked garbage. All of our film was filmed in a vertical view and some in horizontal. Paige and I thought that The whole film had to be horizontal so we tried to work that out. We tried to crop out the top of the vertical shots and add borders, but that didn't work that well and left shots janky. With that option not working it left us with two paths. The first was to film the non horizontal shots horizontal, making us film more or just do it all in vertical form. We ended up Choosing the latter, which we are both happy about.
  The last day of editing was today which probably had the most frustrating problem. We had to fix a lot of the footage, which was sideways because it transferred wrong from paige's phone. This was the only problem that we were not able to fix. We tried a lot of different ways to change this, in pinnacle studios and outside of pinnacle studios like windows movie editor. All of these did not work and it was very frustrating. Although none of these worked, we tried I-movie and this saved us. None of the transfering problems ever occurred to us when we used I-movie because it was already on paige's phone. It literally took Paige and I about 10 minutes to figure out the app, transfer all of the film and, edit the shot and it was done.
