Choice of Editing Software

As a group we feel it extremely important to ensure that our short film is edited perfectly with the input of all of us. We've decided to use the editing software Pinnacle Studio Plus.

When editing our film our group must ensure that the film itself is always constructed with professionalism, as we are trying to steer away our film from looking like a typical student film. We must ensure that the film is at the highest quality we can get it with outstanding editing techniques to help create the effect of professionalism. With this editing software we are able to add all relevant effects to a film, such as slow motion where it is best fitting, credits to appear where we feel best, fades and much more.

We would love the editing to reflect how hard we worked on this film, and don't want it to be the let down. This is turn will allow the audience to enjoy the film with the editing placed perfectly. Which is why we are using Pinnacle Studio Plus. -Anthony Wilson

Why we Chose to use Pinnacle Studio

At first our group was against using Pinnacle Studio as we wanted to use an editing program that nobody else was using. Harvey suggested we use his £500 Adobe After Effects and as a group we thought this was a good idea. However after seeing the program in action we decided against it as it is more for putting in special effects then editing. Also it is really quite complex and our group only had limited experience with this program. After thinking about some other programs we decided to just use Pinnacle.

We chose Pinnacle because it is extremely user friendly but you can also add in some flashy special effects. It is also very similar to Windows Movie Maker which almost everyone has experience using. I have personally had a lot of experience with editing software and I find Pinnacle to be great for editing. It is so easy to cut clips and add in special effects which isn't the case in most editing software. - Jack Windsor
