The Struggle of Editing

     Our editing process was supposed to start on October 29th. Unfortunately, our editing process came to a halt. Our editing process was postponed due to technical difficulties with the school computers. Luckily, the computers worked for our dumping process. It is kind of annoying to know I can't start editing the commercial. we were able to watch the clips back. After watching the clips back I got a sense of what clips were going to make the final commercial. Since the computers aren't working I'm trying to think of ways that we could start editing the commercial. We were considering editing on another laptop. We were going to start executing this but we were informed that our class was going to be provided with other laptops.
     Since we couldn't start editing or commercial, we were advised to save our clips onto an alternative source. We were told to do this because if the computers got replaced we wouldn't have our footage. So today in class, i came in and went straight to the computers. Once my computer loaded up, I went to the folder with all my footage. After opening the folder with my footage I saved it to me USB drive. After all my footage was saved, i safely ejected my USB drive from the computer. Another task that we have to do are these Daily blogs. With the computers not working properly, this blogging process is really difficult. It is difficult to do the blogs because since we aren't editing there is not much to write about. Another factor that makes writing these blogs difficult, is the fact that the computers are being really slow.
     Originally, the computers were only slow. As time went on, the became even slower. The apps on the computer started to become unusable. Some of the apps won't even open or load. One of the apps the apps being Pinnacle Studios. Pinnacle Studios is the editing software that we were going to use to edit the commercials. Once it was time to edit, the software loaded but it wouldn't let me import our footage into the software. After multiple tries it still didn't work. After so many attempts the editing software eventually didn't even work. Luckily, we did as we were told and saved our footage on a USB drive before the whole computer gave up on me.
