Post-Production #1

My Nightmare

    These next two blog posts about editing will likely be shorter than my previous posts. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I'm not the best at editing. Actually, I have only ever edited once or twice, a couple of more times if you include this class. Thus, I'd like to dedicate my time to editing so I can make sure that my opening turns out to be the best it possibly can.

    While filming, I made sure to get a lot of footage and I did look through a lot of it, to make sure I only kept the ones I needed. And even though I was left with a lot of material, it caused a problem as I tried to transport it from my phone, onto my computer. First of all, it took extremely long for it to download the videos on my phone and once it did, it took even longer to download them on my computer. Furthermore, once I was able to get the footage onto ClipChamp, the whole page began glitching because of how many videos there were and for how long it had to download for. Below is a video of what glitches I was experiencing: you can see how some of the videos are not loading, despite being downloaded, and that the editing part of the page itself is blank and glitching on some places. 

    Since I wasn't even able to edit the videos that I had placed down and it was already getting late, I figured it would be best if I left it like this for a while and came back to edit another day. Hopefully, this will give my computer enough time to process it, restart, and completely load so that I can actually start editing. Overall, this was, unfortunately, a very unproductive day. I hope that at least this problem will be fixed the next time I try to edit so that this day will be something more than just useless.
