Editing Software. . .

Editing software
Now we have finished all our filming we have got to make the decision of what editing software we should use. In previous moving image projects I have always used Windows Movie Maker. However, we felt that this would not be able to best demonstrate our abilities and promote our trailer professionally. Giuls later introduced the software Sony Vegas Pro 9.0, after pitching the software to us we were all convinced this is what we should use. Although, only Giuls had experience in using it, we were willing and ready to learn how to use such complex software.
We had a total of 144 takes from our filming so with such a great selection we were sure to put them together to create the best possible trailer we could. The software was at first intimidating but after a few demonstrations from Giuls we became familiar with how to use it. This software truly allowed us to reach our full potential to gain our desired finish. There is such a variety in effects in both sound and image enabling us to experiment with such effects. The software also offers support in HD resolutions, as we filmed in HD this only adds to the quality of our final piece.
There was only one issue we as a group faced when editing using this software. This is that we all had to get to Giul’s in order to edit. With the snow, this was difficult but we managed to meet up on a regular basis to share ideas and edit.
