Signing up to a free trial period with Adobe's Creative Cloud I dived straight into editing our taxidermist's promo video. Going back to Premiere Pro reminded me of exactly why I first thought that Avid felt so unnecessarily unweildly, Premiere just does the things you want it to do where Avid throws a hissy fit if you try to do anything like other editing software; it felt good to be home. That said, I had a nasty aspect ratio issue occur after completing a large chunk of the edit which set me back a fair bit. That and the music was damn-near impossible to find. I dare you to go out and source some royalty free music for a taxidermy promo video, everything is either too video gamey, too comedic or too evil. Plus nothing sounds excellent when paired with the image of a dead crow being stuffed with balsa wood.
In the midst of all that headache I received my overall grades for my second year at uni and ended up with a distinction, AKA a first. I was ecstatic when I found out as only two other people on my course could say the same. Really chuffed with that and I'll certainly try to continue my efforts well into third year.
