Oh the joy of editing your own videos. You truly learn a deeper level of hate for yourself! ha ha, j/k but it is slightly on the tortuous side. I decided that if I were ever (I should be more optimistic and say WHEN) have my own show, I cannot ever be in charge of hair and make-up. These webisodes are very clear evidence that styling myself is certainly not my strongest quality!
I am very thankful though, that I had Pete and Jim there to help me... to make me clap every time we cut so that I was not completely losing my mind during editing! I tell you what, Final Cut Express is some darn tricky software. Every time I start to get a handle on it and feel like a pro, something happens that makes me realize I am anything but. For instance, I was slicing and snapping footage together, cross dissolving, pulling clips from the viewer into the canvas, working my magic... and then I realized I have no idea how to add text or add new clips without shifting all the other clips- ahhhhhh. Someone rescue me... anyone!
I do think, despite all this negative talk, that it will be very gratifying once all these videos are finished and I have added music and made them look bad ass ;) ...hopefully that will happen sooner than later!
