Yeah, I did it in school for 2 years. I have been in the Insomniac Film festival. I do it for hobbies, and for my church. And I do it for a job, like for weddings or special events.

Castiel · Nov 20, 2008, 04:46 AM

But also I do use like other products as Motion, and photoshop, for extra stuff to use. Live Type also, pretty much all adobe/apple software.

OzzmanFloyd120 · Nov 20, 2008, 04:51 AM

Well just for clarification for us and anyone else who might join, I was thinking this could be a place where everybody could come to learn techniques and show off work we've already done and get help when we get stuck in a project and help n00bs.

It seemed like there were a lot more video editing users around before I started this thread though

OzzmanFloyd120 · Nov 20, 2008, 05:16 AM

Castiel, what's it like editing on a Mac? I haven't had the luxury yet, but I hear a lot of people prefer it to PCs, but then again I also hear it the other way around too.

Hayder_Master · Nov 20, 2008, 09:08 AM

It is really smooth. The Coen brothers use it on all there movies. I really like it. So many options and I prefer it over all other editing software.

OzzmanFloyd120 · Feb 3, 2009, 12:51 AM

A lot of the people I go to school with use it, they're mostly those Mac mouth-breathers that will rather slit their own throat than use a windows based PC.
One of the guys though likes it because he says it's a lot easier to bring in media from the Sony EX-1 or HVX-200 to FCP than Pinnacle, Avid, or Vegas.

Well it is extremely easy to import. I do prefer the MAC over the PC for work and business, but for gaming and performance I am all Windows! But I love FCP and it is just great.

OzzmanFloyd120 · Feb 3, 2009, 12:57 AM

If I had a chance to really use it and get into the process I would probably like it. I remember I hated Avid the first few times I used it, but I really like being able to mark in and out the specific frame that I want to start and end on. You can't do that in Pinnacle or Vegas. (or at least I don't know how if there is a way)

Guru Janitor · Feb 3, 2009, 12:59 AM

I would love to join up. Currently I use Sony Vegas Pro 8.0, And have a really crappy Sony DCR-SR40. But I did get a nice lens, a Sony VCL-0630X wide angle converter. I film primarily with friends, and doing action sports videos as a hobby with people. I've Taken 2 classes before, in the process of taking 2 more, and will do a specialist class (BOCES) next year. (I'm a junior in High School). And I'm going to college for Digital Communications and Multimedia.

I'm saving up for a Canon XH-A1, or a Canon XL2, and a Macbook Pro for editing.

You can do that in FCP also, and I really love that option.

Wait on those cameras, the Cannon HV-30 is dropping in price here in about two months and it's the best of the pro-sumer cameras out right now.

Guru Janitor · Feb 3, 2009, 01:07 AM

Just googled that, really nice looking camera. I really need a camera that films in HD, and records to MiniDV. I'm really liking that camera man. Can you get an underwater housing for it? I'm sure, most do. I hate my camera cause it records to hard disk, and I cant use it at High Altitude (there goes skiing)...My HDD craps out, and I need to reformat it for it to work...

OzzmanFloyd120 · Feb 3, 2009, 01:11 AM

I'm not sure if there's an underwater housing for it off hand, but I'm using it for projects for school right now and loving it. Something else that's cool is that you can get lens adapters for it that will let you use 35mm camera still lenses on it to give you more depth of field.

Guru Janitor · Feb 3, 2009, 01:14 AM

Sweet, sounds awesome. I'm definitely putting it into consideration, I'll have to see if any local places have it to rent so I can try it out.

OzzmanFloyd120 · Feb 3, 2009, 01:19 AM

It should be dropping in price here really soon because Cannon just announced the HV-40, which will be a step up from the camera you just looked at.

Teh Muffin Man · Feb 5, 2009, 01:51 AM

Hey I'm new to tpu, Guru Janitor told me about this and that I should see if I can join up :]
Like him, I currently use Vegas Pro 8, and I am stuck with my Sony DCR-HC52. I'm also looking to go to college for Communications and Multimedia :]]

I do have a question though maybe I can get some answers or some ideas of what my problem is. When I go to upload new footage, my computer freezes and restarts. Which is..really annoying since I wanna put out some videos.. If anyone has an idea of what I should do I would really appreciate it :]

Guru Janitor · Feb 5, 2009, 01:58 AM

Also to Help Muffin Man out a bit (Im friends with him IRL) when he says freezes, he means BSOD. I tried to help him a bit (lol google) and couldn't come up with anything...I assumed its probably hardware related, if it just started to do it randomly.
