Use of Editing Software

We chose to change our editing software this year to some software that a member of our group had previous knowledge of using and we were keen to change from last year as the '' that we used then was very frustrating for our group as it didn't work well and we had to use it in school. Whereas with Sony Vegas, although we had to purchase it, could be used out of school and through research of the program before filming, we knew that it had a lot of the features and software that we needed to make a good action film. In our research of the software, we looked at clips of Sony Vegas on Youtube and purposefully looked for clips of what to do for people who haven't used the software. This then enabled us to learn the simple parts and then when we mastered this, we looked at more difficult parts of the software until we filmed our piece. We then knew exactly what we wanted to do with our film on the software as we knew exactly how to use it. Below is the software and a clip we used to get used to the software:
