just starting my blog now and writing retrospectively for the last couple of weeks.
It was a bit of a slow start to the semester, not having proper computer access for the first 2 weeks, then missing week 3's class because it had been moved to a friday because of the Darwin cup.
This meant I had missed the first weekly assessment task. It was pretty hectic, but luckily there were some others in the class who were in the same boat and I was given an introduction to final cut pro in week 4.
Now it is catch up time.
Last week I learned to cut up videos and add in cross fades. I came across a few technical difficulties with rendering the video and sound, but have decided to cut sound of the videos out of my final presentation and create my own. Also there were some problems with the computer not being able to read video files that were on the network and needed to move them into the student workspace.
After some time playing around with final cut pro, it does not seem as difficult as it did at the start.
Today's assessment task is to get a video to break up into 9 pieces, using keynotes. I believe I will have to read over the handout from last week again, but I should be fine.
the end for now.....
:)
