Flog #11, April 11, 2025


This week the hardest task for me was putting together my video for my fourth hack. I have next to no experience using video editing software, so it was definitely difficult for me to be able to figure out how to use the software and make the video still look well put together. I ended up decided to use CapCut after some quick researching on the available forms of video editing software on the internet that are free to use. CapCut ended up being fairly easy to upload various types of media sources into and was very simple to make edits with. It was also difficult to find all the different types of media that I wanted. It took me a long time just scouring the internet trying to find the perfect videos, images, and audio clips to go together. I felt like they all needed to fit together very well in order to make my video flow well and get the proper message across that I actually wanted to covey to the audience. For hours, I looked all over YouTube, Wikipedia, archive.org, and many other places to find what I thought needed to be in the video. I was also struggling at first trying to figure out what editorial moves I should make to help get my message across better, but I ended up decided to keep the editing to a minimum and make it more straight forward. This was intentional as the topic of my video was very serious and I felt like it would have been disrespectful to make a ton of edits to my video that would add comedy or something of that nature. I thought it was best for my message to get pushed through with less editing. In the end, I think my video turned out pretty well, especially considering it was my first time using a software like CapCut. I feel like the order in which my clips were mashed up really got the message across as well.
