Editing my Movie

I have been editing my movie with a programme called Pinnacle studio plus 12. This has enabled me to upload my shots from my video camera to the computer easily. This is a screenshot of the first process. This is a screenshot where you upload your footage. On this you can stop and start it on what footage you want to upload. The clips will upload in different scenes and also when you stopped and started recording on the camera. I like the way this happens because this means the footage doesn't come all together where you would have to break the footage up yourself. It is already done for you.

This is my second screenshot of where you edit your footage that you have collected. As you can see it is split up into 3 sections. The scenes of the movie you have uploaded, the screen where the movie that you have edited so far where you watch it and then finally the timeline at the bottom of the page where you put all your sounds, clips titles and much more to edit and make the movie/trailer.

This is the toolbar that is on the side of the programme which allows you to do many things to the videos or pictures that you have imported into the programme. The first icon is where you import a movie that you have already done or a movie that you are still finishing off doing and editing. The second icon which is of a lightning bolt is where you can add as many tranisitions as you want to, to the picture or movie that you have imported. The third icon is where you can add a montage theme onto the pictures or movie that you have put into the clip. This is where it shows one picture then shows the whole screen of pictures and goes into another. I dont think that this is a very good tool to use when you are doing a movie trailer because it doesnt make it look scary which means it doesnt run with the genre of the film. The "T" is where you add titles onto the movie or pictures. This allows you to add writing on the picture, before the picture or at the end of the picture.
