Editing software's


Editing software’s
The editing software’s below will be used during the post- production of my film trailer.

Sony Vegas pro 11
Sony Vegas pro 11 will be used to cut, add special effects, sound mix and render the clips that will compose the trailer. This programme is a professional editing programme that is used extensively in the production of visual media. The positive features of this programme are that it is simple to use but allows the user to create extremely effective edits. There is a wide-range of effect that comes with the initial programme and there are even more that can be added for example Plug-ins. I have prior experience with this programme as I have been using for around a year to create Gaming videos which I eventually upload to YouTube. My knowledge and experience with this programme is not great but I believe it is sufficient to create an effective film trailer.


Adobe after effects cs6
This particular programme will not be extensively used during post-production. I will use this at the end of production to add a colour correction. I will acquire this CC from Magic Bullet looks which is a plug-in within after effects. The reason for doing this at the end of production is because the CC is extremely demanding on the processing power of the pc and therefore will create lag and impair the rendering speed.

 
Boujou 5.0
This programme will allow me to motion track footage. This will therefore allow me to add 3d text to a clip and allow the text to follow the movement of the camera. I will be able to do this by running the footage through the programme which will in-turn analyse the footage and add key spots. The key spot can then be assigned a specific axis for example X, Y and Z.

 
Cinema 4D
This programme will allow me to create the 3d text that will be used in the film trailer. I will do this by inserting the motion tracked footage that I created in Boujou 5.0 in to Cinema 4D and then adding the text. This programme will also allow me to render the clip in a format that is compatible with Sony Vegas pro 11.
