May 21st

Today i really needed to crack on and edit the final cut of my video. Firstly i needed to film and animate the scene that was missing. This was a simple shot of a door closing which i filmed and captured using Windows Movie Maker and then animated using Flash just as i had done in all my other animations. Now i had all my animating done!
Next I wanted to start editing. I started using Adobe Premier and this was working fine. But then i started to use the same animated files and they still were odd and lagged a bit and the frames were all cut up. I thought that using a more basic software would be better as it was a complicated problem. I re-exported the files loads of times from Flash and they still didnt work. They worked fine in Quicktime but not in Premier. I spent ages trying to figure out the problem. In the end i found that it was probably that the frame rates were different and so it was getting confused. I sorted the problem and started editing. I got loads done in the end but it took all day and was extremely frustrating.
