It's official: I will be posting the link to my documentary on the "Product" page at 9am on Monday, May 25th. I was able to successfully upload the video last night. It took two tries (the first time the upload stopped with literally two minutes left) but it has the highest quality available for viewing.
Since my last post I did run into two problems when editing: 1) My interview clips for the Anti-Iraq War section just would not cooperate with Premiere Pro. Each time I would attempt to use them the whole software simply crashed. I read countless Adobe discussion boards and talked with my cousin who is an expert at Premiere, but could not figure out what was going on. Unfortunately, the section is not in my final cut. 2) A lot of music = a lot of glitches. As stated earlier I had been working on backing tracks with GarageBand, but when I actually inserted these into the documentary everything would really slow down and the software became really choppy. So, I created much shorter tracks for the header of each section, and that worked out really well. There's also other amazing music featured in the doc, and I'm really happy with how that turned out! I really don't have any other updates except that I'm so happy that the documentary is ready for viewing. Both my eyes and my MacBook are grateful to be finished editing for a while! :) My MacBook was definitely not engineered to be a hardcore film editor, but I'm thankful that it cooperated for a majority of the process. I also quickly want to shoutout the people who have helped me during this process. Everyone who did is featured in the credits, but here's a short list: my family, my mentors, the participants, and the elected officials. I also wouldn't have been able to do any of this without the Eney family and Severn, so thank you!!
