Editing the Music Video

     Now that we were done filming our music video it was time to edit it. We use Pinnacle Studios to edit our video just like we did with the commercial. We had a lot of footage to edit. We estimated about three minutes of footage. The video can only but to a minute and fifteen seconds so we knew we would have to cut a lot out. First we downloaded the footage onto our group members flash drive. Then we downloaded that into Pinnacle Studios. While we waited for that to load we downloaded the song of our music video onto the flash drive. I took out my notes to make sure we had to convert it to an mp3. Then we got the song off of YouTube and converted it.
     After we downloaded the song onto the flash drive we had to upload that into Pinnacle Studios. We waited for that to load and realized our footage was finished loading. We decided what clip we wanted first and were going to insert it into the correct track. Then we realized we did not have said clip. We counted the clips we had and realized we were missing two of them. I sent the clips to my group member and she tried to email them to the computer. Unfortunately, the email was not sending. Fortunately though, our one group member already had the clip in her email logged into the comouter. This clip was our opening clip and we downloaded it onto Pinnacle Studios. The email containing the other missing clip finally went through. Then we downloaded it onto Pinnacle Studios as well.
     We now had all of our clips downloaded onto Pinnacle Studios. We first put the audio in the third track. We decided the intro was too long since the video was only a minute and fifteen seconds. We decided what time to start the video from. Then we inserted our opening clip there. This clip was too long and we only needed a part of it. We discussed where in the clip to start it. I suggested right before we open the doors to the mall. My group mate said after we get past a pole that was in the mall we would end the clip. Then we decided to come back the next day during study hall to finish filming.
