Hey All.

Kevin and I finally finished getting all of our clips off of youtube and started importing them into finalcut pro. I was worried that, because final cut is such a fancy program, it would take Kevin and me a while to get used to the software and, as a result, we might not be able to finish our project. When we started using the program though, it was actually really intuitive and easy to use. We used Snapz, a mac program, to get our clips off of youtube, and as we compiled the different shorter clips we were able to edit them each individually so that when it came time to put them all together we were able to just stack them next to each other and they fit together really nicely.

It has been fun working with Kevin in technologies that are new to both of us. Earlier, when we were using the computer in ways that I was familiar with, I struggled to balance letting Kevin take control and get experience using new programs with having myself be the one primarily in control of the computer so that we could get things done more efficiently and put ourselves in a place where we could successfully complete out project. When we started learning how to use Snapz and Finalcut, we were both in it together and I think it has helped make Kevin feel like more of an expert, which has been really fun to see.

Hopefully we’ll finish up today! Can’t wait to share our finished product with the class.
