Editting Lesson Blog

When a student checks out camera equipment they need to get a sign out form from the cubby and put the item number and your name on the form and put it in Period 6 folder. You need to get a new form every time you sign out a camera set. When leaving class you need to have your student ID on and everyone's name in the group to be on the pass in case of emergencies.

To edit you need to open up a folder to put your footage on.

• If your working on a computer in class, you have to log onto the same computer and the same account you exported and edit your footage on. To export your footage put the SD card in the SD card reader and insert it into the computer. To find your footage go onto DCIM and set the date and time correctly on the camera so you can find your footage easier. If you can't find the footage on DCIM go to private, then click on AVCHD, go onto the next folder then click on stream and the footage should show up there.

• Highlight all the footage you want and move it to your folder. After that it's safe to take out the SD card and the SD card reader and return it.

• Open up Pinnacle studios 2017, 2018 or 2019. There's no difference between them. Delete the ads that show up on the app. Import the footage onto pinnacle studios and let everything fully load or it'll crash. Click on Desktop and select the footage needed if your using a shared SD card. 
• Leave AV Track 1 for a title if your putting one.  Hit the T and type in the title you want. Then just move it to a desired area on the screen.
• AV Track 2 is for the footage recorded. Use the razor blade tool to cut footage. Highlight any footage you don't need and press delete.  Open up effect editors and you can add anything to the film like transitions and saturation.
• The different colors on the top of your clips means you've changed something (red bar is the "play bar" and the green bar means transitions etc.)
• AV Track 3 is for the sound and music. Go to MVIO072 to detach audio from your footage. To get YouTube music, convert songs into a MP3.
• When you've completed editing all of your footage you need to export the completed version. Click on files and save the movie as whatever you're filming. Then add the movie to the folder and export. Make the movie an em-peg 4 and full SD.
