new PC arrived yesterday, Adobe premiere loaded, “snow ride jo” footage imported… 2 hours editing then i finally click on “ripple edit” which means the last 2 hours learning/cutting and moving around could have been done in 5 minutes, lesson learnt, bed time.
more editing tonight but with increased efficiency!
Look into 3 point editing, it saves a lot of time and is pretty much the standard way to get a rough cut which can then be fine tuned if necessary with all the other editing tools such as ripple etc.
Oh and if possible and if you haven’t already, I would look into Premiere CS5, it’s way better than previous CS versions as in it actually handles HD footage properly.
I may have missed you already mentioning it but how are you getting on with that “cheaper” gopro alternative you posted about getting?
cc on your edit, generally a nice pace (possibly a bit long though) and the footage looks good, but I would avoid using so many cross dissolve video transitions, majority of cuts on anything will be straight cuts as loads of dissolves tends to look a bit cheap/tacky. Also noticed a few times that the audio wasn’t cross dissolved – always do this as it “eases” it in better (ooer) and doesn’t sound so jarring. It may also be worth looking into L-cuts.
