The good and bad times of editing
Welcome
Day 1 of editing done:I have finish day one of editing. If anyone just wants to know I am editing on the final cut pro x. It has its ups and done but I must say I miss the other final cut. With the other final cut pro I was starting to get the hang of the layout and really brought my film to life. This one however, has been somewhat of a mental challenge. I have never been a fan of the imovie editing system and won't be. When final cut went there I told myself "give it a chance you might like it." This is my third project working it and I still feel like a new kid learning the system. Has it become a little bit easier, yes, but I miss my old editing system. How I could view my raw footage in one window and what I have put together in the other. Another thing I miss is the matte. It has to be on this final cut and I am just not seeing it. I used to be able to cut out what i wanted and put in other things. I just can't seem to find that option anymore. If I am being an idiot please tell me so I can overcome this sad time in life and get on with my editing. One of the other challenges I am facing tonight is the music. I have not yet found a winning combination that makes this project come to life. Could I leave it as is and give them a no music project? Yes i could, these people, who have never been in the film business, have creativity and knew exactly what they wanted. So it made my filming experience really good and easy to edit them together. But I know that there is some kind of music out there that will put them over the top. I want to go on but I have stared at a screen for seven hour today. My eyes hurt and I am mentally exhausted. So this is the end of the computer tonight. I am going to watch football and possibly go to sleep early.
After the project is done:
I am making my list of things I need. I will update everyone on the editing tomorrow.
