EDLD 5363 Week 2 Podcasting

       While creating my MP3 podcast tutorial with Audacity, I wanted to try a different Video Editor and after looking through the software on my computer I found Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  This software has many features.  Technically, it can fix many defects inadvertently caused by the video camera operator.   Further, it has many effects and themes to choose from.  There were many rendering options and file extensions to choose from for publishing content. There may be too many options to choose from.  However, I am hoping to find a video editing software that can work with multiple sound tracks; Windows Movie Make Live only works with one track at a time.

Audacity was great.  It allowed me to add a music track and sound effects tracks.  I was able to increase the volume of one track and reduce the volume of another track.  When editing, I was able to use many the Windows operating system type moves.  For example, I was able to drag and drop files into the editing timeline, click-hold-cut out bits of sounds that I did not want, and render as if it was Windows Movie Maker Live.  I chose to render my podcast as an MP3. 

       I plan to use Audacity in the future for making ringtones, MP3’s from my voice recorder, and for editing and creating sound tracks for any videos that I create; and it is free! (“Audacity wiki,” 2012)  I also plan to use the file extension website mentioned in this week’s overview.  It is very helpful when you find a file and you do not know what created it or what program opens it (“Common file extensions,” 2012).
