Editing Blog, Editing my music video

Two days ago my group and I were assigned to start editing our music video. We were a little behind on some footage so we barely got anything done. To start we didn't even have the song downloaded on the computer. So I went on YouTube, copied the link of the song and downloaded it.Next problem was that majority of the footage was filmed by phone. This meant that in order to start editing we have to get that footage from the phone onto the computer. This process took a long time to do, My partners had to download google photos first. Then upload those photos to google photos, after that they go on google photos one computer. Finally, they had to download them onto the computer. This would've took shorter,but all the videos had to be backed up first, which took about 20 minutes at least. After they finished backing up, we ran into another problem. It turns out that a lot of the footage that we had was filmed vertically. This happened because the footage that my partners filmed on their phones vertical instead of horizontal. The only footage that was horizontal was mines, because I was the only one who brought the camera home with me. But thankfully I found a way to make the footage horizontal. All that had to be done was to right click, go on scaling and change it from fit to fill. If there was no way to change that, then that would've been really bad considering how many days we have to edit. And last, which was the biggest problem, pinnacle studios which is the editing software was going really slow. When we first grabbed a laptop and tried to edit the music video with it, it took like 10+ minutes to load up. When it finally loaded up, it lagged really hard; this made it really hard to even edit anything. So to sum Tuesday all up, not much got done because we ran into a lot of problems, which took majority of our time. Today was a better day of editing, we were much more organized and we got more done. The only problem that we ran into today was that pinnacle studios took a long time to load up. This would interfere with our time to edit, but we would get enough done. When it finished loading up, we got right to it. I imported all the footage to pinnacle studios, and the song was added too. The entire time all we were trying to do is get at least 60-70 percent of the music video done. This is because today and Monday is the last classes that we have to edit, and Monday is the day that it is due. The teacher had told us that we wouldn't have the whole class to edit, because to avoid technical issues they want to make sure that every group email their music video on that same day. So with about 40-50 minutes of editing, adding transitions and adding other necessary things, I'd say that we are about halfway finished. We wanted to get a lot more done,due to the fact that we have less time to edit on Monday. Based on what we have edited so far, I really like what see. On Monday, if we want to get this done on time,we have to get right to it; we'll see what happens.
