Use of Editing Software
Video Editing
A video editing software is used to place clips/footage together in a sequence to create a media product.
My choice of editing software was mainly similar to my AS media production except for the choice of video editing software. Last year, we used Sony Vegas Pro 13 which was an appropriate choice however it lacked on certain aspects and because of this I chose Adobe Premiere Pro CC. One of the main benefits is the integration of Adobe Dynamic Link. This allowed me to place an After Effects file directly into my timeline, within Premiere. Then whenever I change an effect in After Effects, the effect is also updated within Premiere which saved a lot of rendering time. Previously, I would have to render my After Effects Sequences and then import them to Sony Vegas. Adobe Dynamic Link increased the flexibility and allowed for more make more changes quickly and effectively.
Video Compositing
A video Compositing software is primarily used to edit clips by adding different visual effects to it. Industry standards includes The Foundry Nuke, Black Magic Fusion and Adobe After Effects.
For my production I carried on using Adobe After Effects, however it had been upgraded from CS6 to CC. CC (creative cloud) has allowed for a more optimized workflow and the benefit of extra effects in the presets.
3D Editing
In my trailer, 3D elements are more common compared to my AS opening scene. Some of the shots in my trailer are entirely CGI, whereas others contain 3D elements. Cinema 4D was my 3D editing software of choice. Compared to other 3D programmers such Blender, 3ds Max and Maya, Cinema 4D was the best choice for me because I already had previous knowledge about the program.
Photo Editing
Photoshop is an industry standard for a professional photo editing. We'll be using Photoshop to edit our posters and magazines, as well as editing textures that will be used a backdrops when compositing and textures for 3D elements for Cinema 4D.
