Editing lesson blog

     Today we learned about the editing process phase of our project. We learned about the camera that we will be using and how to record with it. We learned about the use of the tripod and how it will help keep our camera stable. We learned about the DCIM. This is the folder that contains all our footage. It contains the SD card information. He also has the date and time that the footage was recorded. Next there is important this is when you take the SD card information from the desktop and place it into the editing software/program. When you open the editing software click edit at the top of the screen to import the footage. This is where the actual editing process begins.
     To import you must press Desktop-plus sign- media- the checked footage will transfer- import will start on bottom. There are three different places to put your footage AV track 1, 2, and 3. Av track 1 is for the title. Track 2 is for the footage to be edited. Track 3 is for music. The play bar is the red line that is vertical to the footage. If you want to cut a clip in a certain spot this is where you would place the play bar. You can right click on a section of film to add effects. To take the audio out of a clip, you right click and press “detach audio”. When importing footage there will be a yellow line wait for the line to disappear in small chunks so that it can render and fully import into this software.
     To save your progress, you want to export it. You must export the footage from the program to the desktop. The footage will need to render to save. You can replay what you’ve saved to see how it looks. If you don’t like it then you can import it again and use your knowledge to fix it.
