    Dizzy what do you do when you edit your videos?

    ok so i just shot my first content. i am totally lost on what to edit. do you add a title and credits at the end? do you shoot several clips and put them together? so far ive just shot one drawn out video in the same spot, so i guess theres not a lot to edit?

    i really need some insight on what you guys do with your content before you sell it. do you go for the amature style or do you try to do it more high end looking?

    im shooting everything myself so any advice is helpful.

    also, windows movie maker is confusing...

    I pay for my editing. GirlProfit does it for super-cheap, like $5 per vid and $2 per pic. I have zero drive to learn to do it myself. Its worth far more to me to pay to have it done in a timely manner.

    hi, i graduated from two film courses
    for your first one, dont go for high end, just make it look really together. to make it high end you will need professional cameras, lighting equipment, crew and expensive editing software. its a pain in the ass.
    movie maker is shit.
    try to go for imovie, or if you plan on editing for awhile invest in a quality editing software such as final cut pro, which will allow you to do the same kind of editing as photoshop on pictures, except to videos.
    you wont need credits either. maybe just your stage name and email and the date and that the copyright belongs to you.
    try not to make it too fancy with the editing, all those star wipes and split screens make it took like a kids school project and its unprofessional.
    the most effective editing and camera movement is the one your audience wont notice [you want no distractions from the content]
    so if u gonna edit it, just make sure its chronological and matching, once youre more experienced you can start worrying about picture editing when you have the right software.
    dont attempt anything too fancy that will distract your viewers from the content
    is the most important thing u need to know

    easy. just avoid any kind of special effect or font. its impossible to use them on moviemaker and make it look professional. its a contradiction.

    Nope. You can just DM them on Twitter and ask for a quote. They'll make you a client account and assign it as a job. They're super easy to work with.

    For those who don't know:

    I dunno, I use a mix of high end and low end. Regardless if i filmed in the same spot I still edit, so certain things are not seem like : Turning around , reaching for a toy... etc.

    I taught myself in the beggining to movie maker. Then started using a Corel program. I use diffrent editors for diffrent reasons. Also the new Windows Movie Maker is so hard compared to the old ones. I use my old 2.6 version.

    I use imovie and it is ok. I really want to learn final cut pro but it takes me HOURS to do edit a video that would take me 10 minutes to edit in imovie. So I haven't really gotten around to that yet:/

    Click here to watch a silly video I made with the imovie trailer feature

    I think you could add the trailers on to the start of a video or in the middle to make things seem more 'fancy'. I just wish you could hack the themes to change the music. Maybe they will release more in the App store with time.

    I'm a Mac user so iMovie is what I use to edit video. It's pretty easy to use, though there is a limit to what it can and can not do. Then there is Final Cut - but as Miss BellaBellini already mentioned, it takes way too much time to learn all it can do...

    That's a really fun video you made @BellaBellini. Looks like you and I have a similar pan/tilt/zoom camera - I recognize that brick size remote anywhere. LOL.

    I loooooooooove my macbook and imovie!!!

    When I was using pc I bought videopad for I think $60 and that worked much better than movie maker. Movie maker is total shit.

    You don't need to do anything fancy really, just make sure you watermark your videos with your cam name or website url. Setting them to fade in and out at the beginning and end is nice, and of course cut out anything you don't want to be seen and add a transition where you made the cut.

    silly question - what about music? I know technically it's illegal to use copyrighted music in a video, but do sites like AW (adultwork) care?

    I highly recommend windows movie maker. its VERY easy to use, watermarking can be done at the end, basically it's a billion times easier than final cut pro which I used in college - I highly recommend it!!
