Pinnacle

To edit my movie and my animatic I used a program called Pinnacle studio 12. This allows me to easily upload my shots from my camera to the program and to edit them in different ways. On Pinnacle, you can change the length of each of the clips, as well as the tempo. You can then add transitions into the individual clips to make it feel more professional and more effective. Additionally it allows you to add different soundtracks to the clips and edit the volume, tempo and length of each sound. Another technique it allows is to add the titles and slogans to the movie, as well as another other fonts you want. I was also able to install my own fonts to use for the titles and slogans and again this increases the overall look of the trailer. The program goes into a huge amount of detail involving the different icons, right clicking on the different clips brings up a huge amount of options that can help make minor changes, such as placing the fonts over the images or clips.
