I like behind-the-scenes views. You too? 
I’ve been working on a 30’ish second promo for slooh.com. My computer is set up so I can record the screen. Here’s what video editing looks like. Each horizontal row represents a separate piece of video or audio.
Questions?
Thanks Geoff
I had to watch that over and over and enjoyed seeing the parts of the puzzle come together. I am currently working in iMovie doing small projects for my church and I am enjoying it very much. Perhaps I’ll graduate to Adobe Premiere soon! Thanks for the lesson!
Patti – If you’re on a Mac Final Cut Pro is the usual step-up. Good luck. Editing is a very creative process.
Thanks Geoff, I am on a Mac and will have to check out Final Cut Pro. And you’re right, its a creative process and I enjoy trying different effects – without going crazy. I’m hoping the church will eventually invest in a professional video camera so I can really go at it! Someday! Thanks again Geoff.
Patti – It’s never the equipment. You could shoot and edit a great video entirely on your phone! 99% of the problems will be solved with generous tripod use. Image stabilization helps a little, but it still looks unnatural. Unless you’re in the MTV Church you need steadiness.
