Thank you for sharing bro.

Any of you here have the pictures of DIY sliders,rigs,stabilizers that you made yourself?

No DIY for me.

I'm getting the Hague Mini-Motion Cam stabilizer.

Hague is hard to control. Just get the flycam mini which is better.

The gears i used so far,cant take the pictures of glidecam as im using it.

Bought already. Now waiting for its to arrive at my doorsteps.
Will do a review of it.

But it doesnt have the color correction etc. I dont really need any special effects for now. Just want to smoothen and beautify the videos that I captured.

I've taken a few,but i don't know how to post videos from youtube here in the thread.
By the way, i am using the Sony Vegas Pro 10. It's editing is simple,but yet superb in effects.

I mainly covers wedding,and sometimes into ads or montage.

Audi R8 Teaser. 1st time using Glide track slider.



Please C&C too guys.

To post youtube vids, for example with random youtube video;

Press Youtube button then 6ILZAYa-R38 and press the Youtube button again to complete.

See the 6ILZAYa-R38 from the Youtube link? Put that in between the two Youtube tags.

Sony Vegas Pro 10? You bought it or ahem? LOL. It costs US$599.95. Sigh.
Just downloaded the Adobe Premiere Elements 10 trial. Havent had the time to play with it just yet.

Received my Hague Mini-Motion Cam stabilizer this afternoon. Also didnt get enough time to properly set it up.
Away from home right now. Will try the Premiere Elements and Hague MMC tomorrow morning.

Thank you bro for the tips. I will post some videos i've made here later on.

So keep this thread alive for us videographers to learn and share knowledge.

guys , would like to ask. what is the easy software to learn and edit video..but produce.. look profesional video :-)

I'm no expert, just started few weeks ago. lol So need to wait for others to give their thoughts.

As for me, I'm still trying every popular software out there.
Tried Adobe Premiere Elements and Cyberlink PowerDirector; I'm liking the latter... so I just removed the Premiere Elements.

I might try Sony Vegas. Loads of Americans that I know are using it. But it doesnt fair well compared to Cyberlink etc. I wonder.
ocz is using Sony Vegas, maybe can review a bit.

In case, you want free softwares, I tried almost all from google search, didnt find anything interesting. Sigh.

You really don't need an expensive NLE to start with. Even for people who owned the high end NLE won't necessary produce an interesting footage. It boils down to contents. First thing, are you using a DSLR or an HD camcorder. Once you are familiar with the interface, you can then start using creativity. There are many inexpensive NLE that may fit your budget. Second thing to look for is what is the output format of your choice, i.e., youtube/vimeo or DVD/Bluray.

im using DSLR mate.. , just get some name like sony vegas pro.. adobe premiere..element.. what else.. easy software to use for video editing.

I'm using Cyberlink PowerDirector 10. Loving it!

Anyway, the best is to test them yourself. Most of it give trial versions to try. But do bear in mind, trial version normally have limitations.

I almost ditch PowerDirector during trial becoz all my videos were distorted until I read in the forum about it. Since I'm comfortable using it, I went ahead to buy the full version. It was worth it!

DO test those in your list.

I have been using Premiere Pro for 8 years and had tested Vegas and Edius along the way. Each has its strong and weak point so to speak. But somehow Premiere Pro had stuck with me for a few reasons. One is the large pool of plugins compatibility. I would think the Premiere Element is a good start plus it will take native DSLR footage. You can produce great result with the Element and when you are ready to step up to the Pro version, you will be able to migrate over seamlessly. Learning the editing skill requires patience and effort. If you work at it, I'm sure you will see results.

All the Pro versions prices are "awesomely" expensive. Unless you're professionals then its ok lah. No doubt they're good for its purpose.

For beginners, its better to start with lower end versions.

Like;-
Adobe Premiere Elements -> Premiere Pro
Sony Vegas Movie Studio -> Vegas Pro
Etc...

Can try the powerful Lightworks http://www.lightworksbeta.com/
Got free and subscription based. Tried it but its just too hard for my noob head. Its for serious filmmakers lah.

My latest wedding video (SDE)
