Kevin's Media Studies Blog: Production: Editing 1st Day

Introduction

When we finished editing on film day 1 we actually decided in the moment that it was a great idea to take advantage of time and edit together. So we got on it together and in one sitting we were able to establish most cuts together and organize the whole sequence. With my past experience in TV Production I already have a feel for Premiere Pro especially since I used to edit many short films so I have a wide understanding for it all, and with this knowledge I used to give Adam some help like basic command such as c to cut and v to select, he was already getting the hang of it and then I showed him how to access the effects tab and the audio essentials tab which is crucial for editing but for some reason wasn't working for an annoying amount of time which frustrated me on a whole other level while Adam was laughing at me since he didn't know what to do. Then when we both got home is when we realized we couldn't both access the montage we had set up. So we then we began investigating and apparently the answer was in built in team project feature. It would link our sequences we both worked on. To transfer files over we both shared a google drive file and had most clips located on there which we then imported into Premiere Pro. When the team project feature had bugs which had begun to arise we then realized we could use TeamViewer to monitor what the other person is doing and work remotely from the other persons desktop. This solution was key to finishing day 1 of editing.
