Recently my DDA class has been working with Adobe Premiere Pro. We have been learning video editing techniques as well as cinema shots. We have been using these techniques to edit clips that we were either given to us or royalty free clips we had to find on our own. The program is very fun to use. I feel like I always have control over what I'm doing. Everything feels so natural and intuitive. It's very easy to edit specific clips and there are a few given transitions that come with the program to begin with. There are also a lot of video effects that I still have yet to mess with. There are also a lot of audio transitions and effects to mess with. There is so much you can do, and you could spend all day with one effect. There is an endless amount of combinations and options to mesh together to create a masterpiece. Although I have some knowledge of the program, I feel as if I have barely scratched the surface. There are so many things I don't yet know that could even be holding me back from even more enjoyment. I can see how things might get tedious at some points, but overall Premiere is smooth and comfortable to work with. I think it's probably my favorite video editing software so far. I may even get it for myself, not just for schoolwork but also for my own uses as well.

In my DDA class, we have began to work with video editing software. this includes Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, and Adobe Premiere. All of these programs share similarities, but contrast greatly. Animate and After Effects definitely focus more on the making than the polishing, but you can touch things up in both programs. They all contain similar things like the timeline, basic tools (select, pen, direct select, etc.). This is where similarities start to die down. Premiere is easier to use when you have preexisting material to work with, i.e. still images, prerecorded footage, etc. This means you can easily place things when and where you want them to appear in a video. Animate works best starting from scratch. It's almost like Illustrate on steroids. It lets you conveniently (enough) make objects yourself. It gives you the option to either animate using a traditional, frame-by-frame style or letting the computer move things for you. It will even let you do both at the same time. After Effects is like both of these programs had a child. You CAN make your own objects and you CAN try to use it for video editing, but it's more for meshing clips together. It's not like its impossible to to do the other two, but it acts really indecisive about it. Motion graphics were actually pretty enjoyable in After Effects, traditional animation wasn't impossible, and special effects might be better on it as well (wouldn't know, haven't tried that yet). Otherwise, most video editing should be done in Premiere and animation should be done in Animate.
