Reflections: Project 3: Visual Stories
“Bee Wise, Bee Aware, Bee Smart: Save the Bees”
Challenges:
The main challenges I had were deciding what to do the video on as my first challenge. The second challenge came when I was unsure what video editing program to use to make my video. I first created the entire PowerPoint file, with slides images and some text narration, and saved the file as an MP4. This was without sound, just the actual images and slides with transitions. I then launched Camtasia, however the use of this older version of Camtasia V.7, was not communicating correctly with my computer. It crashed several times, and I was wasting hours and hours trying to make Camtasia work. So, I gave up on it, and pulled up the be-all, end-all of video editing application: Adobe Premiere CS 5.5.
Surprises:
I’m actually I was able to pull this off. It’s been a long time since I have used Adobe Premiere. At least this version was still an older version and not the newest with all the updates. I would have been completely lost in how to get this accomplished.
Conclusion:
In working through this process, I reminded myself that I still have some of the skills I thought I had lost. I guess software can almost be like riding a bike, you just pick it back up easily. Also, confidence that if I had more time available in my 2 jobs, I could use Premiere to make some wonderful high-touch/high-tech training videos!
As I wrap this project up, I am reminded that when I put my mind to it, and carve our enough time, I can get many things accomplished. There have been a few times that I was a tad grumpy and hard to deal with, but I am learning. This activity fits in with the other course activities by using our own photography and not just pulling some odd ball images. It has also reminded me that you have to plan ahead and dedicate specified time to get your work accomplished.
