Editing software

For my A2 media coursework the use of an editing system was required, the college uses an Adobe software for the editing of all A2 coursework. However I decided that I was going to use my own software and camera, this allowed me to have the freedom to do any filming and editing when and where I wanted due to my editing software, Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.0, being on my laptop.

One issue I had to overcome by using my own software was that I have never used any editing software besides the standard Windows Movie Maker, this meant that I had to learn how to use this software and I went by this by using common sense but when that was not enough I had to use the help tool to give me advice.

However this was not always useful, but I searched the index that comes with my editing software and found out the information I needed, by doing this I was able to learn the tools and techniques I needed and was able to develop my coursework and improve my skills with editing to a new level through tools and experimentation.

This image shows my coursework, version 1, when it was nearly finished and as you can see I have 19 different tracks in use which all work together to create this film trailer.
