Using Editing Software: Sony Vegas

For all my coursework productions, I used a program that I was comfortable with and had reasonable knowledge in using beforehand. Using these programs weren't too difficult for me, but I had some technical issues while using one of them.

To edit my trailer, I used Sony Vegas Pro 11. This program is for people with at least a basic amount of knowledge and experience with editing videos before, and so I was very comfortable with using it to make my trailer. From the first screen shot below, you can see me adding in a simple 'black fade in' transition. I think this works well with my trailer and I even went that little bit further to change how black and how faded the transition came out. The second screen shot shows me adding in a colouring effect to brighten up a clip in my trailer. It is the same process as adding in a transition, only it focuses on the effect. This effect was helpful for many clips in my trailer, as certain clips were darker than other.

I put all audio and all footage on separate tracks, so that I wasn't confused as to what was where. It also made sure that the certain things that needed specific effects wouldn't be accidentally effected by anything else.
