Struggles Of Editing

At the beginning of our class period, we begun the filming for our commercial. Afterwards we were planning on editing the film. First, we dumped all of the material from the SD card and card readers onto the desktop. We created a folder that would store all of our film. We automatically assumed that the editing process would go smoothly and the computers would work perfectly. However, this was not the case. Our overall editing process was very complicated. All of the complications made the process very frustrating and difficult. As all of these complications were out of our control, there was no solution that we could have reached in the moment. None of these complications were those that we could have foreseen either, which makes it difficult to prevent.
From the beginning, we first walked into the class room and returned all of our objects. We used equipment like tripods, camera and an SD card. We returned all of these and proceeded to take the SD card and card reader and insert it into the computer. From the start, the computer would not start up. Once we put in our username and password into the system, the computer would load for a long time. It took about 20 minutes to boot up, which took a lot of the time to load. Once we put all of the film on the computer, we needed to then open pinnacle studios. This is a very big app on the computer, which also did not work in our favor. This was the only application that we could have used to edit on these computers but it would not start up. Every time we began to use it, the system would crash.
The problems continued when we attempted to upload our footage onto pinnacle studios. The computer would provide a message stating that it was loading but it would never load. After approximately 20 minutes, the app would crash and start over. This process made the whole editing process very complicated and difficult for the entire class. We hope to soon get new computers, or edit on the laptops. This will hopefully solve the problem and allow us to finally begin editing for our commercials. After filming, we were really looking forward to editing and finalizing our commercial. Once we get either a new computer or a laptop, we can finally turn in our final product. We are concerned that we will not be able to turn it in on time, or we will be behind on other products necessary for this class. However, we will find a solution.
