Hours of my time this week were also devoted to filming, editing and uploading an Indoor Track and Field Preview for the upcoming meet at the New Balance Invitational in New York this weekend for Lehighsports.com. I, too, was at track and field practice with classmate Kenny Burgess, filming for him as he interviewed players about this weekend's upcoming meet.

Lab 3: Overlaying sound...could this be getting easier?
Today's lab taught us how to overlay sound onto video clips. I used footage from Debbie's interview with Dana Stellar, a senior on the indoor track and field team. Dana did a great job answering the questions, making it easy to edit and create the video. It's amazing how quickly you can become accostumed to using Windows Movie Maker. I am certainly starting to feel more comfortable with using the system. Although there were points during the editing process today where I got confused, I figured it out with a lot less help than I needed last time! I am looking forward to the point where I can say that I understand this program completely and that I do not need anyone's help. I get more and more excited each week to learn more tools to better the quality of my videos. Here is the final product:

Video looks good. I'm curious, do you find Final Cut to be as overwhelming now that you're starting to get the hang of WMM? The basic functions of WMM are all in Final Cut, but it's just different bells and whistles (and a LOT more options). Mostly I'm wondering whether working with this program is making it easier to learn the other one.
