Final Editing for Commercial

Blog

In class my group and i grabbed a school laptop and plugged in the usb to finally start editing. Since we were finally able to edit one of my group members started the editing process. He clicked pinnacle studios and pulled up all our videos. We previously selected all the videos we wanted before but they didn’t save. Due to that happening we had to reselect everything. We decided to go with the longer videos so we can get to our 30 second limit then crop videos if needed. We didn’t use the ones with people talking in the back but we did have to use one with birds chirping in the background. After selecting we cropped all the videos and ended up at exactly 30 seconds. We then watched over the video multiple times before we were completely satisfied. We kept having to go back and crop some videos to make it pleasing to the eye to watch.

 Editing ended up having to also be done next class and 2 of my group members were out on the second day of editing. Ambrielle and I was left to finish the editing process. Since all the videos were already aligned together we noticed we needed to add music. We asked our teacher what to do and she told us to go to YouTube. Once at YouTube we looked up background music for commercials. We found one and liked it but decided to listen to another one. We liked the second one more so we decided to use it instead. Then we had to make the Music into an mp3 to upload it to the video. We asked a classmate to help us add music due to the fact she already added music to her commercial. She helped us by helping us find the music because once transformed into an mp3 we were confused on how to add it. 

The music was put into AV 3 and then fitted into the commercial which was in AV 2. The music was finally added but was playing really loud to the point we couldn’t hear us talking in the videos. I had to drag the song sound down and raise our voices up. So the song was playing low in the background in some parts when we were talkin and loud in places where there was no talking. We had a conflict with not being able to hear our voice in the intro. We ended up deleting that video and adding it back. Once added back we could hear the sound in video and everything was fixed. To finish everything off we added a title in the beginning saying “Nike” which is what the commercial is advertising. Once we adjusted the title and changed the font our commercial was finished and we were done editing. Afterwards I saved the video and then it was sent to my teacher.
