I am going to take my KOMU Avid & iNews test tomorrow. I am kind of excited about it and hope things would go fine and timely! I haven’t used KOMU’s Avid program that much and want to go in today for a bit of exercise so I will be better prepared for tomorrow. I emailed Stacey about going there and doing some practice on their computers and he was very open to it.
Right from now, it would be perhaps a bit premature to say how I will do tomorrow. But I want to look at things that might turn out to be a bit challenging and problematic to handle. For one thing, I need to be more careful about my voicing and tone. I do also need to use keyboard shortcuts while editing on Avid. That would definitely make it go much faster. And flash frames need to be definitely avoided, which I think will not be a problem anyway, since I have now come to learn through my previous editings at B2 how to prevent flash frames from making their way into the video!
I, however, need to make sure that I will spend as little time as possible in transferring the video from the memory card to Avid. And also make sure I would avoid jump cuts in editing the video. Another potentially problematic area would be that of finding the shots that you need to put on your Avid sequence. That also requires fastness and decisiveness so I wouldn’t spend that much time thinking about “okay which shot I should now put here or there!”
Despite the natural stress that one might have before doing exams, I am confident things will go fine and I will be okay! At least, that is what I am telling myself to make sure I will be relaxed and confident when I sit on the computer to do the editing. I will leave all judgments on this for my next blog post!
Let’s see what will happen!
