In today's lesson we did the editing. From last Thursday on academic mentoring day, we couldn't do anything because our files kept getting erupted, and we had to wait forever for it render. It was the same for the Fridays lesson. So today, we deleted the files that did not work and edited them again. It worked much better this time and we found out something new we didn't know before. If you click a clip on top of another click, where you want that clip to play it plays. We don't have to spilt and cut and delete all the time now. Me and Katy stayed after school and did more editing. We nearly finished now and what we also did was add the credits into the actual sequence. We had two parts of the credits but got rid of one with the static as it did not go with the rest of the sequence. Also i  carried on working on sound, i looked for different types of sound clips that i think would go with our sequence.

Today was academic mentoring day. Today our group all came in at 10.30 and started the rest of the editing. As we did not have much to do, we were planning on finishing the editing today. But that did not go as we planned. While we were starting the editing, our clips started to not work. It wouldn't play and when we tried to put a effect to a clip, it just made it crash. We quited and started again a couple of times but still it did not work. After the few times we tried, we realised that maybe it was the rendering problem. So we rendered the clips again that wasn't rendered. When we started to do that the rendering just took us so long. It said that the estimated time was 5 hours for the rendering to finish. So we cancelled it and tried it again, but still the rendering was taking too long. While we were waiting we did a bit of sound on garage band. We made the sound clips longer to match with our credits and also added few bits to it. Even when we finished doing that, the rendering was not done. After we all left and Katy stayed, the rendering had still not finished so miss said that she would save it if the rendering has finished before she goes home. Today we did have a lot of trouble with our editing and clips and now we think we have to do it all over again because it would just not open. We have decided to meet tomorrow again and try and figure out and fix it so that we do not have to go through the trouble of starting it again.
