Post-Production (Editing) of CCRs

 Editing of CCRs

Now that production is over it is time to edit! 😀To be honest, editing is always a little scary because I don't want to find out all of a sudden that a clip doesn't fit right and I have to refilm. But besides that, we just need to get started and find out.

I edited both videos on Clipchamp and began by importing the videos. When I downloaded them, I named them in numerical order. This allowed me to easily import them into my Clipchamp in order and avoid rearranging a bunch of clips.

Editing CCR for Questions 1 and 2

Editing this was fairly easy. After importing the clips, I went through and cut out the ends of the clips that did not include content. I went through and followed the CCR with my script to make sure there are no missing parts. I thought this was the most boring part of the process until I began adding any clips of my research. I was able to copy and paste the images from the blog post into my blog, but for the videos, I had to pull those from their original source. Searching for the exact placement of the image/video was very tedious. So, thankfully that's done.

For the credits, I was going to do a rolling credit. Clipchamp does not allow me to do that, so I had to make it manually on Canva. However, it did not look clean since I had to create the animation path by hand with my mouse pad. When I put it into the CCR, I realized that I can just copy and paste the text from Canva into Clipchamp and fit it to the screen. So, I ended up doing that in a still credit. The reason I did not put the credits directly into Clipchamp was because the text box had a character limit that could not carry all of my credits. For Pear, I put her nickname only in the credits for privacy purposes.

Now that I have bypassed all of these issues for one CCR, editing my second CCR should be easier.

Editing CCR for Questions 3 and 4

As predicted, editing this CCR was way easier. I followed the same exact steps I took with the first CCR. Pulling my research to put into this CCR was a breeze since I was able to pull it from past Canva projects and my camera roll. I could not find the original location of the research for my first CCR. Finding the exact placement of where to place the research was easier too because I remembered the timestamps when I went through the clips (a lesson I learned after editing the first CCR). What really sped up the process what that I did not have any sources to credit. My responses came directly from my head since questions 3 and 4 are reflective of my process.
