**The Vlogger's Dilemma: Premiere Problems and Video Production Struggles**
As I sat down to start filming my latest video, I realized that I was stuck with an unexpected problem - Premiere Pro was being uncooperative. Specifically, it seemed to be treating audio files as if they were video files, making it impossible for me to edit them as intended. I had uploaded a few video files and random audio files into the program, but no matter what I did, Premiere kept insisting that the audio files were actually videos. It was frustrating, to say the least.
I'm not sure why this was happening, or how to fix it. I've been using Premiere Pro for years without any issues, so I'm stumped. If anyone out there has experienced a similar problem, please let me know - I'd love to hear your solutions! In the meantime, I'll just have to keep working around this issue.
**Mascara Mishaps and Hair Accessories**
As I began filming, I realized that I had one more issue to deal with: my mascara. I started the video without applying it, which would be a major problem for anyone watching (and probably me too). So, I quickly grabbed my makeup bag and applied a coat of mascara, just in case it was on camera. But then I realized that the stick was tricky to work with, especially when filming.
Despite the challenges, I decided to leave the mascara as is - after all, it's not like it would ruin the entire video. However, I did have some other hair accessories that I wanted to incorporate into the shoot. I had picked them up at a dollar store and thought they'd be cute additions to my video. But in retrospect, maybe they were a bit too much - one of them kept falling out, which was distracting.
**Breakfast Tacos and Productivity**
As I took a break from filming, I realized that I still needed to make breakfast before starting the editing process. It's not always easy being productive on time, especially when you're working long hours. So, I decided to take a few minutes to whip up some breakfast tacos - after all, they're one of my favorite foods.
But then I got sidetracked thinking about how my video would look with or without the hair accessories. Should I stick with braids, which are always more understated? Or should I go for something bolder and take a chance on the dollar store finds? It's funny how our minds can wander like that when we're in the middle of creating content.
**The Great Tripod Fail**
Just as I was getting started again, disaster struck: my tripod plate had gone missing. Without it, the entire setup was useless - no way to stabilize the camera or take smooth footage. I was frustrated, but not entirely surprised. After all, tripods can be finicky sometimes.
If anyone out there has a spare tripod plate lying around, please send me your address and I'll happily mail you my return shipping information! In the meantime, I'll just have to rely on some creative workarounds - or maybe even try filming with one hand while holding onto my puppy for support.
**Skateboarding and Internship Antics**
As I finished editing my video (with a few hiccups along the way), I realized that I had another challenge ahead of me: getting back to work on my internship. But first, I needed to squeeze in some skateboarding fun - after all, it's been a while since I've had time to hit the pavement.
I quickly laced up my skates and took off down the hallway, which turned out to be the perfect skating track (thanks for the clearance, roommates!). It was exhilarating to get outside and move around like that. And who knows? Maybe one day I'll even turn this footage into a skateboarding montage.
**Trivia Night and Internship Stress**
Finally, with my video edited and uploaded, it was time to focus on more pressing matters: trivia night and an upcoming internship. But as I prepared for the big night ahead, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety - what if I didn't do well? What if I got asked questions I just couldn't answer?
As I made my way out the door, I grabbed one last piece of advice from my friends: "Don't stress too much." It's easier said than done, of course. But maybe with a little calmness and focus, I'll be able to tackle both trivia night and my internship with confidence.
**The Internship and Video Vlogging**
It's Wednesday now, which means it's almost time for me to head back into the workforce as an intern. While this was meant to be a break from studying, I'm actually excited to get back out there and apply what I've learned so far. Who knows? Maybe one day my video vlogs will become a full-time gig.
For now, though, it's time to get packing and head to Houston - the bus is waiting! As I settle in for the long ride ahead, I'll be thinking about all the video ideas I need to come up with next. Will they involve more skateboarding or makeup mishaps? Only time will tell.
