Yes, I absolutely want to echo--in some ways the pechakucha is designed to make the actual act of editing easy--as in, you only need to worry about getting ten clips on the timeline. But a lot of what makes a vid look like a vid involves much smaller clips than six seconds, cutting out all the extraneous stuff, playing with speed of clip/shot duration. But none of that is part of the pechakucha, since it's basically taking one step at a time.

The six second restriction is gone after the pechakuchas, so I think you'll find that a bit more satisfying. That said, the limits in pechakuchas can be freeing (only so much you can worry about), and then when people come back to do them after having made other videos, there can be a sort of new challenge of how can it look more like a vid despite the restrictions. But for your first pechakucha, it's really just about filling that timeline, setting it to music, so you've made a thing!!

I often make pechakuchas that I'm just *dying* to go back in and edit more, breaking the six second limit... and sometimes after the fact I do, and turn it into something more truly vid like :D
