Thoughts on Vietnamese Autumn Formal Video

Since it's my second time to edit a video, I thought it would be a lot easier than the first time. I shot the video two weeks ago, and I had run-down and voice-over transcript prepared before I started editing. Everything went just fine, but after I uploaded the video on Youtube, my boyfriend called me up and said there were some really loud background noises at the end of my interviews.

Everything looked just fine in iMovie,the software I used to edit my video, but somehow the background noise always appeared when I watched it on Youtube. After researching it and trying out many different solutions, I finally figured out that the background noise appeared because I fast-forwarded some of my clips, and it affected my audio tracks and made it appear when it's not supposed to.

After all the troubles I went through at 3 a.m., I finally had it done. This time, without the background noise at all. Yay!

I'm happy that we have assignments like this. We not only took different approaches each time but also faced different difficulties when we tried different editing tools and skills.

Every time when I was done with my videos, I always sent them to my family and my boyfriend so they could give me some critiques. As the number of news videos I edit increased, I felt that my skills of video editing and the whole sense of journalism grew too.

I'm very happy to see the changes, and I look forward to doing my third video!
