When I began editing I thought that it would be a simple process but in reality it was harder than I imagined. For example, cutting a clip sounds basic but when i first started I kept messing it up. I didn't know why my cuts weren't clean and sometimes I'd cut the wrong part or accidentally move the whole clip without meaning to. This frustrated me but once I got the hang of it, it became much easier to edit.
I also struggled with adding sound, I thought I could just drag the sound onto Premiere Pro but it was much more intricate. I also had to consider the volume of the sound so that it wouldn't drown everything out or be so quiet that you couldn't hear it. This also meant I had to figure out where to place sound effects so that everything flowed nicely which took more trial and error than i expected.
Another issue was trying to find downloadable copyright music that was free. A lot of racks were either too generic and didn't fit our film or it wasn't free.
Overall I am much more confident with Premiere Pro I think my film flows well and the audio we choose pairs with the context of the opening film. I'm glad I went through those hardships while I was editing because at the end it allowed me to expand on my editing skills and perfect our film.
