Editing lesson

Today in class we began learning on how to use the pinnacle editing software. Started off with the steps on how to properly use the camera and sign it out. Mrs.M went over how to charge the camera and to put in the SD card without damaging it. Next I learned on how to start editing with importing and dumping. Mrs.M went over little editing details such as how to add effects,adjust the lighting,add a title, and etc.After that she showed the class how to put music and separate audio for voice overs. Lastly she finished off on how to export and save our projects and commercial.Our camera procedure was first to sign the form and fill out the information, next  go to the door over by the teachers desk to get the camera, lastly over by the front door place the form in the 5th period folder. When we are done with the camera we have to take the form out of the folder, make sure the camera is fine, then go back to the room where we got it, put away the camera and put the form in the return folder. When going out to record the group has to sign out media pass so we can go around campus and we must always have our IDs on.
  Every time a group or a person needs a camera they have to sign a form every time. Another thing we learned was the SD card and SD reader. These are important for importing and exporting videos and audio. If some one ends up not dumping their videos on a computer they have a chance of losing all of their stuff off the SD card. If you do not buy an SD card for yourself some one else can use that SD card in your camera and could delete all of you stuff. Using a tripod can be useful for steady shots,pans,tilts,and etc. When moving around with the tripod you have to keep it in the closed up/shorten phase and not have it fully extended or open. To attach the camera first unscrew the plaque then find the screw hole on the bottom of the camera and put that on top of the little button on the plaque. After attach the plaque back on the tripod with the camera. If the camera is shaky you can tighten the camera by twisting the quarter things on the tripod near the camera.
  Dumping is an important process for editing it is taking footage from the camera to computer. The steps to do so are first take the SD card and put it in the SD reader. Before you do any of this make sure you have a folder create so you can save the footage. Once you have the SD card in take the videos and put them in the folder. They should be found under DCIM if not then it should be under private. When the footage is all on the computer move all of it onto the editing software. Finding it can be easier if you look at the dates. In the pinnacle editing software there is a tab called flex editor where you can adjust brightness, add text or make a person still. If you place text you can have it do motions or make it appear in certain points of a video. Corrections adjust the brightness to make it night time in a bright setting or day time in a dark setting.
