No drawing today because I’ve been learning something new; I’ve been editing my first video. Last Spring, I went to Wingtip Press in Boise, Idaho to do an artist residency. While I was there I accumulated some simple film footage on my little Sony Cyber-shot and it’s been waiting 8 months for me to get round to editing it into a short video.

So I’ve been slaving in front of a hot computer all day, working on Adobe Premier Pro, cutting the footage together. I’ve done a rough cut and this evening I’ve been writing the commentary. The filming was completely unplanned and there’s no coherent soundtrack so I’m going to do a voiceover with subtitles. Husb has set me up with a YouTube channel and I hope to upload my very first film later this week.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D

  1. Go for it! I use Premiere Elements, but suppose it isn’t that much different from Pro, you probably just have a lot more “features” to discover. Will await the final result!

      1. I like simple and basic. As a professional video editor, I get somewhat annoyed when people who have just discovered video editing start using all kinds of special effects just because they can–instead of using an editing style that’s relevant to the subject matter. It gets really distracting sometimes–so yes, simple and basic, nothing fancy!
