Post Production - Editing Platforms

Editing is a crucial part of filmmaking, but as I recently learned, it can also be incredibly frustrating, especially when using an app you're not very familiar with. Since I had used Premiere Pro in the past for other classes, I decided to edit my portfolio project there thinking it would make the process easier. I expected the editing process to go smoothly, but I didn't think it would be this difficult.

At first, I was excited to dive into the editing process. I imported my footage, ready to start making adjustments, but I quickly ran into problems. Simple things, like changing the font for text or adjusting basic settings, took way longer than they should have. I searched on Google for answers, watched tutorials, and tried to follow along, but nothing seemed to work the way I wanted. It felt like every small thing turned into a huge challenge.

After spending way too much time trying to figure things out, I realized that Premiere Pro might not be the best option for me, at least not right now. I decided to switch to a different editing app, one that was more beginner friendly and allowed me to focus on actually editing rather than getting stuck on technical difficulties.

Even though I struggled with Premiere Pro, I know it's a powerful tool that could be useful in the future. For now, I'm happy with my decision to use something simpler. I'm glad that I can bring my vision to life without spending hours just trying to change a font!
