Editing Preliminary Films

Today in our media lesson, we started to edit our preliminary filming which we took. I learnt how to use Final Cut express, a programme which will be a necessity to editing any of our filming which we take, using this programme today I uploaded the video's from the camera to the computer, put the clips in chronological order, and finally cut and cropped the length of the sound and camera clips so that all clips flow smoothly, making a professional looking short piece of footage. Once i had edited the footage so it reached my desired standard, I exported and saved the video allowing me to upload it to facebook. Unfortunately I could not load it onto youtube today as I did not know the youtube password. The video will be uploaded by tomorrow, so I am excited to see what people think of the clip. I found final cut express quite easy to use, and thoroughly enjoyed learning how to use this programme.
