Editing Food for Thought 4th May

Today was the deadline for our group projects and our documentary "Food for Thought" we had the whole day to make sure that there were any other mistakes and if there were we would have time to alter them. This was the hardest part of the process as we found that every time we exported the Final Cut Pro file into Quick time Conversion we would find spelling mistakes and problems with the picture as we wanted it in wide screen and it didn't except the right settings.

There was also problems with the iDVD which was the software we had to present our documentary on a DVD, we found that the choice of menus was a problem as you can customise the menus using your own pictures and certain menus had bars that would block out an important part of the picture that contained the logo of Anna's food. We found that these couldn't be deleted so therefore we had to find ways around it.

Again the other problem was burning the exported Quick time file onto the DVD as this took several attempts for us to get the picture the way that we wanted it as there were issues with the picture size and some exposures with the shots we took so we found that it would take several attempts to get it right.

Another problem we found was the pictures we used in our documentary as these kept being deleted. We had to keep rendering the files and and starting the procedure again by bringing them back in to final cut. It took us the majority of the day to get the file exported and the DVD organised but in the end we were happy with the final piece.
