 To launch the start of my commercial I needed to figure out what editing software I wanted to use before I even started considering what to do with my pictures and videos. Cap cut being the most popular and "obvious choice." But I was looking at a broader aspect of editors outside of what people usually use. Of course, trying to be as advanced as possible in the simplest way. The first larger editing software that came to my mind was Adobe something I had access to and was very slightly familiar with. YouTube allowed me access to a very large variety of videos on how to use the software as well as some tips and tricks. So far learning the software thoroughly seems to be the hardest part of my commercial. After I was able to adequately learn the adobe software, I went on to learn about other free software's that were advanced but also easy to use since adobe was a lot at once. Some software's I came across were shot cut and DaVinci resolve DaVinci resolve was on the tougher side to learn but it was still free. Using all of the knowledge I gained from learning these Sofware's have given me an idea on how I could spice my commercial up. But of course, there's always the chance that I go the simple way and do a easy stress-free slide show. Of course, it would be the same concept but why go low when you can go above and beyond. I feel as if I wouldn't be showing my best potential if I didn't try to edit my first project with all I got which strongly contributed to my thought process when figuring out what software I wanted to use. One that fit me the best. But of course, there's always the chance that you may fail. So, I decided to go with a software I knew I was already familiar with. Cap cut of course, now even though I ended up just using cap cut to edit my commercial, with all the new information I've learned about these different software's I now have a different foundation for future projects. So now that I have confirmed what software I want to use I can move on to the layout of my commercial. Basically, just figuring out where I want each clip and photo to go and where I want the music to play. A process that will take consideration but, in the end, will be fairly easy.
