Looking back on my experience of editing my music promo, I am definitely glad that I used Adobe Premier rather an Final Cut Pro. It was simple and easy, meaning editing took far less time than it would had I been using Final Cut. It allowed me to easily add visual effects, transitions and edits to the audio that were located in a more obvious and accessible place than on Final Cut. I have little regrets about my experience with post-production editing for my A2 Media Studies music promo as I believe I made some interesting and well-though out ideas as to how I wanted the end result to look, and doing so was fairly simple.
On the other hand, there are things I would change if I were to redo my editing again. I would probably start with ensuring I had enough footage to use for editing, rather than going away to film more in order to make my promo less repetitive. I would also be careful with my use of the 'Ripple Delete' feature, which is used to remove gaps between shots. What I did not realise for a long time, was that closing unwanted gaps between shots with this feature moves all of your pre-edited footage, too. This meant that after I had edited the ending for my promo, and went back to finish cutting and editing the rest of the footage, it moved my ending way out of time due to my use of removing gaps with 'Ripple Delete'.
In conclusion, I found my experience of editing my music promo to be straightforward and enjoyable. I faced minimal difficulties using the software, Adobe Premier, other than the process being more time consuming than originally planned. There is not much in the way of post-production that I would change if given the opportunity to do this task again, other than watching my video through after every few edits to ensure nothing has shifted out of place.
