Over at SpoletoToday.com, my first presentable piece of pro-blog video, which I shot, wrote and recorded yesterday and then edited in spurts yesterday and this morning.
It's my second run on Final Cut Express, the cut-down version of the full professional video-editing program for the Mac (not only was I completely on my own for the first video I cut, I was also using the camera for the first time and submitting to YouTube for the first time. The results were... let's just say, less than competent).
This time I had admin help in arranging the materials, plus handy advice on solving some of the niggling problems that come with learning new software and recording setups (thank you, Geoff).
I'd do some things differently now because I learned some skills during the editing, but in general I'm pleasantly surprised this one turned out as well as it did, technically, given my level of experience with the software and the equipment. Video is an interesting medium, and I'm just getting started.
