Making a Video

[Brett Sbardella]

Anyone have any recommendations on what program to use when making a highlight video??!! I got ALL THE WAY THROUGH making a 6 1/2 minute highlight video and windows movie maker won't allow me to save the file to my computer! lol BLOWS! - Put a lot of time into editing clips and making it look appealing.

I found a download for iMovie for PCs:

I used to use Avid a while back, then switched to Final Cut. Worth every cent.

If you're using Final Cut (on a Mac only) you must switch over to FCPX. It's so much faster than the old FCP. And by faster, I mean you can get the edit done quicker and easier. It's only $300, which is 1/3 of what the old program cost.

Here's my most recent FCP X video.



Finished this late last night. And although its a rather simple edit with one interview and some b roll footage and some simple credits, I simply could not have done it on the old FCP without spending a whole lot of time. Also, when I edit in FCP X, I'm never worried that when I make one new change to the edit I'm going to somehow mess up the parts I have already edited. I highly recommend www.lynda.com training to learn how to work this or any other program you're having trouble with.

If you're on a PC, get the amatuer version of Adobe Premiere. It used to be called "Premiere Elements". It may have a different title now. Should cost around $150.

i suggest downloading a keygen or crack for movie maker if you didnt close it already. might be able to get it working without closing the program.

you could also try the adobe video program Air (maybe). lots of torrents available for that.

Final Cut Pro x is too legit.
Here is a little edit I put together over there.
