Great, thanks so much for the help. I just downloaded and am now installing the Version 6 now. Hopefully I dont get too addicted to this program because I wont be able to afford it for awhile :lol:
 
Thanks for posting this, Shrr :hug:

UnsilentMajorty- I really enjoyed your "Ghost" video. I just love that film and you doing a video with a good song was nice to see. :clap:

Dling Unleashed video now, that movie was awesome!
 
Hey all - I never really thought it through before but vid-making (or whatever the term is) is very much like writing fanfic. It's a great avenue of expression, but it helps to have some guidelines, especially as some of our work can be so very personal.

So, I thought we should post a few reminders, especially as we're having the video awards now, and this is becoming a site-wide phenomenon. Please - don't anyone take these comments personally. These are similar guidelines to the ones discussed eons ago on the FanFic Board, and they apply well here. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send a PM to one of us (ROCKSTAR, Rainstorm18, or myself) and we'd be happy to address whatever issues you may have. Otherwise, please don't comment on the guidelines here - this thread is for posting of videos. Thanks! :)

The Guidelines:

  • Remember to not use illegal content (meaning pirated movies from films just out, etc.)
  • If you can, try to use a service that wouldn't have any competing content (like message boards)
  • If you want people to critique your video, please say so in your initial post
  • If the poster has NOT asked for her/his video to be critiqued, please do not provide feedback, even if you think it's constructive
  • If you do not want your video posted elsewhere, please say so explicitly in your initial post (and everyone else please respect those wishes)

The professional (full feature) version... Version 6 (the organge box).

I don't know what the limitations are on software like this... Meaning, I don't know how much they will let you do with a trial version... But you can get a general feel for it if you like.

Personally, even though I recommend Vegas for you, I prefer Adobe because I think the interface is more intuitive. You have your timeline, you have two windows (one for the footage you are going to use; one for the edited master) and that is all you really need. Vegas puts them all in one window/panel... But so does WMM which is why I recommended Vegas first; If you try Adobe Premiere out it may actually be more intuitive in the end.

Also, the one thing to keep in mind with any NLE software is you can no longer use Divx or Xvid encoded movies for your source material. You will have to use retail DVDs -- Which can get complicated, but once you know what you are doing is easy as pie.

I started a thread on the Webmaster's Board that is a primer on some of the issues you and others may encounter and should be aware of if you take up making videos a hobby:

Song: Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol
Couple: Declan Gormley/Zhen Lei from Mission Impossible 3
Description: Though the movie wasn't the greatest, I loved that one scene between Declan/Zhen so I made up an entire storyline for them in 2 days. lol It's completely manipulated considering there was pretty much one scene between them so bear with me here.
So story-wise, agent Declan Gormley has left the IMF after being rejected by agent Zhen Lei. He's hit rock bottom and can't stop thinking about her. He imagines how it could have been if only he could have made her open her eyes and see that they're meant to be. Sadly in the end, Declan wakes up to find that it was all a dream... he's still not with her.
Disclaimer: I only created the video and the concept but I do not own anything, clips belong to their rightful owner. Clips were taken from the following movies, Bend It Like Beckham, Manhattan Midnight, Match Point, MI:3, Naked Weapon, The Tesseract.

Pretty good video.

You have beat editing and motion/movement down pat.

The only thing I can suggest is to stick to one subject unless you are doing a tribute to something with a common theme like action movies, martial arts movies, super heroes, etc.

Hitmanyr2k

Very good video as well.

I was kind of confused when the music cut off, but the visuals were still playing, though.

If you do something like this, I would suggest using voice-overs or the actual audio from the film itself edited in such a way as to give it the emotional impact you want because everything up until that point was spot on... But the ending, which can sometimes be the most important part of the video, isn't really strong and needs to be given the subject matter of the film and the message you are trying to convey.

Remember, if you had not told me what the overall theme of the video was, I could not have figured that out with the current ending.

..............

Wow.

I seem to have re-sparked interest in this thread and I hope it is for the best as I believe there needs to be a high(er) standard of videos out there simply because if you want the praise for a job well-done then you need to earn it.

Even if you do this as a hobby, it is ultimately up to you as to whether you want to actually earn that praise or just slap together any old video and hope people are polite enough to just say they like it when they really don't AND they know you can do better... Especially if you want to enter videos in various awards around the net, not including FF's own awards as well ;)
 
Heres a older video I made of Selene/Michael (Underworld) to the song "Judith" By: A Perfect Circle.
