Fish Film Feed Back

After finishing the first edit i then put it up on YouTube and emailed The Fish Society to say it was up. They got back to me and said they wanted to call and go through the adjustments they wanted me to make. To do this we both hit start on the film at the same time and sat through it and stopped at the points that they wanted me to change, they were as follows:

• 0.16 Min's Delete part of the audio as he says "billings gate market" twice in about 5 seconds
• 0.40 Min's Take out the first fin flap being taken off
• 1.26 Min's Take out shot from behind and put in sequence after the first fillet has gone into the box (make it about 10 secs long)
• 3.00 Min's Take out 2nd fin Flap and put in 10 secs of dark side filleting
• 4.02 Min's Take out membrane being trimmed
• make the section on the off cuts half as long. keep from "they will end up as ..."
• 5.03 Min's Cut Filleting to where fillets are cut in half
• Put a black screen at the end with a link to "Cooking Halibut"

Fish Film Editing the 30 kg halibut

The first issue in the editing that i realised i would have was keeping the film to 5 minutes. As i had 45 minutes of footage most of which was important to the filleting as there weren't any retakes or anything. I went throught the editing and didnt have any major problems other than the one already stated. I managed to get it down to 7 minutes 30 and as I said I would do a slightly longer version also I tried to render the video and then export it. At this point problems really started occuring!!

Every time I treid to render it I would leave it and go and do something else but everytime I came back and treid to do anything my computer crashed. After about 2 - 3 hours i finally managed to get it all rendered without it crashing and so then treid to export it as a video and then the problems continued! The first time it exported again the computer crashed after having exported it, but the exported file did not work, and so i treid again. This time my Adobe Media Encoder stoped working, I tried to do this multiple times but it failed and so i called Adobes customer support!
