Editing Lesson Blog
Today we went over the policies and procedures on the camera equipment. We have to make sure to fill out a policy form every time we use a camera as well as write the numbers of the camera, tripod, and SD card reader on the sheet. We have to make sure to sign out the SD card reader on a separate sheet of paper too. We were showed what comes with the camera for example the USB cord and other ways we should import our takes just to make sure we don’t lose our footage. We learned how to use the camera. Our teacher first showed us how to turn on the camera and where the charger goes. She explained how the camera can be a little temperamental because it won’t charge if the camera is open. We also learned how and wear to insert the SD card into the camera with what way to put it. How to use the tripod was shown. We have to extend the legs by a clip. To attach the camera to the tripod you have to take a little platform off the top of it then snap it onto the bottom of the camera. Then tighten it on from underneath and snap it on the actual tripod. It can get taller by twisting a knob on the side of it to get higher angle shots.
We also learned a lot about how to edit our footage. The cottage that we edit is called raw footage cause we haven’t done anything with it yet. First we were shown where to edit our footage which is Pinnacle Studios. We have to make sure that we make a folder on our desktop and move our footage from the SD card to the folder. Moving footage from the camera to the computer is called dumping. We have to make sure that we don’t leave the footage on the SD card because someone else that has the camera next might delete it. If we had a problem finding our footage in the regular files then we had to switch to the private files. It’s AVCHD then stream. When wanting to put all files into a folder on the desktop you drag the mouse across all the files and drag them to the folder. Importing is moving footage from the desktop to Pinnacle Pro which is what I just explained.
Once everything is imported and dumped the editing begins. When we want to start editing we highlight all of the takes and place them in the box at the bottom in pinnacle studios. When we want to delete a part of the take we click the razor blade slightly above highlight the scene then click delete. For example, if we have a video of the take going on and you can see people moving in the background at the end of the clip then you would delete that part. If we made a mistake while were editing we would click edit menu at the top left-hand corner and then click undo. If we wanted to add text over the take then we would click the ”T” while the text is in the top layer of the box on the bottom then type what we wanted to say. After we’re done we would drag the text on top of the scene that we wanted it to be shown on and play the scene. If we wanted to make the text fancier for example make it look like it’s being flown in we would go to motions and then add in affect from there. If there is a mistake with the audio for example someone is laughing in the scene, We would write click on the scene go to detach audio then hit delete. When we want to insert music we would have to change it to an MP3 in order to get it to format onto Pinnacle Pro.
