Video Editing

My official title at work is "Fitness Specialist" but lately I have felt more like a computer specialist. A few months ago my boss asked me if I could learn about Dreamweaver (computer software that writes HTML as you design a page layout). He wanted me to be able to update a website that they were going to have designed by a professional designer. I was eager to learn and jumped right in. I started reading a "Dreamweaver for Dummies" book and soon got the impression that it was not as complicated as I had thought it would be. In fact, I thought that I could save my boss some money by designing the website myself. He was of course excited about the idea. So he bought the Dreamweaver software as well as Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements which are Adobe's photo and video editing software.

Last week they had a proposal for a new contract and they asked if I thought I would be able to put together a promo video in two days. Well, I had never used video editing software but I figured I might as well try. It was a lot of work and I wasn't sure if I would get it done in time and have it looking presentable. But with Tyler's help, I think it turned out pretty well. I feel pretty good about it at least. Enough so that I wanted to share it with y'all. Click Here to watch it.

No, I am not in it, and I didn't take the videos either. Just in case you were wondering. I know it is still a bit rough but it was a lot of fun!
