Video Editing Review

While watching the tutorials on video editing, I learned that you can organize your videos as favorite or rejected and you can choose to watch the rejected or favorite or all at one time. The favorite videos have a green line over them, while the rejected video clips have a red line. Also if you select a video as rejected, it doesn't mean it has been deleted.

Another thing I learned from watching these tutorials is that iMovie CAN fix shaky video footage. You can do this by going to file and then clicking on 'Analyze for Stabilization'. This option will make the video stable and able to watch. However, some footage may be categorized as un-watchable/too shaky, and iMovie will put a wave-like, red line on the clips so you know that it was unable to be fixed.

Those are just some of the things I learned from watching the tutorials!

Some of my favorite themes I saw today were...the New York (?) theme that Will had and the football themes that Alex and Tyler had. Some of my favorite edits I did and saw were the replace a face, [where you use the layers and you erase the top layer;which is another person/celebrity and underneath is your face :). This creates the illusion that you are the other person, just with your face.] and I also liked the tint filter (changes the tint/shade), but all of the edits turned out cool! One of my favorite sound mixes was Alex's because he used a lot of different songs (all with the same genre) and I thought that they blended well together.

The most important things these two units taught me to do was to create an excellent project, which featured both pictures and sound that was entertaining to an audience. The units also taught me new editing techniques I didn't know before (example: replace a face) and also how to create a song/mix music together. I think we accomplished what we set out to learn! I've grown a lot as a multimedia designer, from in the beginning only knowing how to edit pictures and put them into a slideshow, to now knowing how to create a song/mix. Some skills I have now that will help me in the future would be...knowing how to use layers to create a new photo (combination of photos), I now know how to use photoshop and also I know how to create a mix...these will all be helpful if I ever have to create a project like this again. :)
