Over the early portions of the summer I felt the urge to try and learn video editing. I mainly just wanted to make stupid short stuff that I could enjoy watching myself, so I just found a bunch of sound and video clips that I could use and started to mess around. The main thing that I had to learn how to manipulate the time and duration of clips to make something fit in a place it wasn't made to. I had to do this for most of the videos I made from the end of the year to present. I am really happy with how my barbershop clip turned out with the text ti speech in my CS video. The video clip lines up and ends at the same time as the audio despite the auto having to switch from the original to the new clip and the video having to play during the transition. I also had to do some keying and green screen stuff. The CS video was the main culprit of this. The cut out for the image I got permission from someone to use, but I still had to put in the background myself, which took longer than I thought it would. I learned the different some of the settings and how to make adjustments like soften edges and cut out leftover color/image that you don't want to be visible. The single image at the end took less time despite me cutting that one out myself, as I somewhat understood what I was doing at that point. Audio editing was also something that I dipped my toe into, but didn't really explore that deeply. I messed around with channel volumes and had to adjust the levels of some clips so they didn't completely drown out whatever else was going on, adjust pitch, or reverse the audio. Overall, I don't think I am amazing at editing, but I definitely am better now. There are a lot of things that I tried to make look awful, and things that I tried to make look good. Otherwise I am happy with what I have learned and accomplished and hope to mess around more in premiere once I get a new school adobe package thing.
