Late at night, after the kids have gone to bed and progress on my book has run its course for the day, I’ve been working on editing a little family movie chronicling five birthdays. I’m using a way out-of-date edition of Adobe Premiere, software I learned to use years ago. It ain’t broke (except that it chokes on my newest camera’s full-size JPEG files — they need to be resized before import), so why fix it?
As I pleasurably fiddle over fine edits and transitions, I’ve learned a new little lesson: when you pick your background music for a video you’re making, be sure to pick music you really, really enjoy. Forget loops — you’ll go mad. Your eventual audience is only going to hear this stuff once or twice; you’re going to hear it over and over and over again. Choose wisely and lovingly.
