Fun with video
UPDATE: It’s Murphy’s Law. Within minutes of uploading this post, One True Media’s server appears to have crashed. This is why, for now, there’s a big white gap where my video should be. Putting content on somebody else’s server is always risky.
In anticipation of video blogging the 2006 Houston Gay Pride Parade, I’ve been fiddling around with video editing packages. I haven’t yet settled on a product, but for sheer ease of use I don’t think anything can beat this.
I made the video below — using random junk from One True Media’s stock — in about 10 minutes. I post it here not for the quality of the content — as I say, it’s junk, and there’s no relationship between the montage title, the video and the music — but as a demonstration of what you can now do easily. It’s pretty amazing.
This is the digital camcorder I bought. If you have any feedback about it, let me know. And if you use video editing software that you really like, please tell me what it is and why you like it. I’d appreciate it.
people use PCs to edit video? It looks pretty basic and I do not know if it exactly what you are looking for but Apple Quicktime Pro might work.
Hey,
I just recently picked up Sony Vegas as my video editing suite. Upsides, easy to use interface, up and running very quickly, like Windows Movie Maker on steroids. Downsides, light on more advanced effects (it has a lot of effects but their pretty basic, though I haven’t dug that deep yet).
That’s actually my only downside, for the price point I don’t think you can beat it. My package also came bundled with Sony Acid and DVD Architect.
Acid is a simple music editor and DVD Architect allows you to create and burn your stuff to DVD with menus and some nice backgrounds.
Overall, I dig it!
