Barriers of the editing software


Despite this software providing us with many features that allowed us to edit and create our trailer - there were 
barriers that we had to overcome throughout the process - and this was mainly having to render the clips nearly
 every time we made a slight change.
Rendering processes the layers and effects and saves the preview into a file, which Adobe Premiere Elements 
can use each time you preview that section of the movie. Once rendered, a section doesn't require re-rendering 
unless changes are made to it.
This was a barrier during the editing process as it was extremely time consuming and was a set back every 
time a slight change was made. It was often that this made the software freeze or crash; which understandably
 is expected with the amount of clips that the software had to deal with... however this was a struggle for us to 
deal with. 

More complex movies require more processing time to display properly. With our trailer having multiple different
 clips and also adding sound, titles and transitions, etc, it was clear that this was going to become an issue for
 us however, the software has still allowed to create an effectively edited trailer. We ensured that everything we
 done was saved after each change in-case the site did go wrong. Also to save time, we rendered the clips more 
often so each time was shorter, rather than doing it all together at the end where it might be more difficult as
 there would be more to process.
