How do you do that then?

I though it might be interesting to have a look at some of the processes used in editing a project. It is all very well wandering about with a camera and getting hours of footage but chopping it together to make it intereting and to follow some sort of story is the hardest part in many ways.

I use a program called Sony Vegas it is what is known as a non linear editing program. This means that you can drop things in in any order you like, in the days of editing real tape by using two video machines it was very difficult to edit in any way other than by compilling shot after shot in the finished order from the very start of the process.

I've taken a couple of screen grabs and added some explanations which is what follows this. Unless you have an enormous monitor for your computer you will need to click on the image which should make it appear in a seperate window but larger.

Hope it makes sense, I'll come back to this another time. Here are the two screen grabs but largerto make them easier to read.

The whole 40 minutes.

One minute and a bit.
