Editing blog for MV

This past week we started editing. Or at least tried to. We had many hiccups this past week in editing. When we first got to class on Tuesday the first thing we started to do was dump our footage. But since we had the footage on our phones it took a lot longer then we expected. When we were waiting, we downloaded the song and we dumped it on our computer After all the footage was done processing, we launched Pinnacle Studios and started to import all our files. This also took a long time. When it finished we saw something we'd never want to see. Our footage was corrupted.
  When we saw all our footage was corrupted, we checked the footage file and we saw it as a MOV file. MOV files are mostly used for apple products so, it didn't work well with the Windows computers. Since we realized we need an MP4 file instead of a MOV we went on the web and tried a converter. This took forever. Every website we used only allowed 2 different conversions per day so it took longer, and we had to switch websites every time we finished with two files. By the time the class ended, we only got finished with about half of those files. Since Peter didn't do a lot of filming he offered to convert them all when he got home so we can edit perfectly today. It didn't go as planned.
  When we showed up to class we got a computer and I launched pinnacle studios so we could start. Then the computer dies on me. I think it would only be one computer that wouldn't work but i was wrong. We tried 3 computers before we had to ask Ms. Cats. She had to try about 4 more until she gave us one. When we got on this computer we had all our files on a flash drive and we dumped them into the computer. When we launched pinnacle studios and imported the files, only half of them worked. Zeke and I look over at Peter and asked: "Did you convert the files?" and he said no. Since we didn't even start to edit yet we asked Ms. Cats if we can have extra time and thankfully she said yes. After that, we logged out of the computer and left the class.
