Hi all,

i am very interested in editing wedding video, premiere pro is very new to me, anyone know where to learn free premiere pro editing?

Also, I'm looking some partners to set up our own wedding photography and videography services, any one interested? Earn good money

Nice

You're doing a fresh start wanna to enter this business or already doing this for a while?

Maybe you should learn the basics, differences, and limits of the video editing programs out there (if you're new) before actually looking for partners to start something up.

Haha really interested to join you buy wait after SPM can a xD...

there's alot of tutorials on youtube just whether u wanna find it and it's just basic tutorials...try lynda.com they got alot of videos and you'll learn alot form there but definitely need money la

It's kinda hard to shoot a wedding in Malaysia if only u follow the whole journey, and limitations of man power is also a power..not to forgot lens xD

I have been doing this for more than 10yrs wedding photography.

1. Premier pro give higher quality video however takes time to learn, i pick it up from youtube.

2. Premier pro is rather complicated compared to final cut or imovie but more flexibility in the expense of duration it require to complete. If you shoot 3 wedding on weekends (Friday Sat Sun) you'll feel fucuk exhausted doing vids on PP

3. Wedding photography is not something you can go in easily especially actual day, coz u should know where to position yourself and how to lead, tag along with some well known photog n learn. Is not as easy as you think, I spend everyday at home editing photos during peak period regardless public holiday or not

yes
maybe u can try other editing software as well
to see which suits your work flow and final output

Cool, im also interested in videography... well try to do part time work and learn after SPM u recruiting any newbies? or maybe just let me follow and learn after SPM? xD

Im doing a fresh start, i have been doing part time only 3 weddings but it was quite rush

You are right bro

Yup...lynda.com need to pay..actually i looking for Premiere Pro class tat i could learn some. Lens and maintenance are expensive, sometime not enough man power, so many limitation

Hey dude, thanks for the comment

1. Youtube did not provide full Premier Pro tutorial, very hard to learn form there
2. Yup i know, I have been doing part time on Sat and Sun, i only sleep 3 hour between Sat and Sun, its exhausted. But i can see the boss earn good money. RM2500 per wedding event right? If 2 days i can get RM 5000
3. Ya if wanna earn money we need to sacrify, im confused now. Actually Im a banker, feeling stress and wanna go into my own biz

So far im using Windows Movie maker and learning PRemier Pro now

Don't just see the outside you need to venture more in depth do you think every week got job? Sometimes you get one job a month and not every job is RM2500 you have to cater those budget wedding couple too if you just wait only for RM2500 above job think can close shop pretty soon, sometimes 1K+ job need to take too. Remember there are ton of wedding videographers/photographers you need to compete.

I learned just thru youtube. Years ago on my first try, I spent one whole day just to watch tutorials. Then 2nd day I started actual video editing, while going back to the tutorials here and there. Now I feel like I can edit anything.

In time you can learn just by yourself thru hard work. Careful not to start a business very early, you need to know these basic stuff first before you dive yourself in this business.

Pm me. I can share with you on p.pro

HAHA I know exactly how you feel just sitting infront of the comp watch tutorials but sometimes when you wanna do something much special it'll end up cheesy and awkward....it's a matter of practice and experience, time can solve everything

Yup you are right dude, not easy to do business nowadays regardless services or products. So only 1 choice, work like a cow

Understood. THanks for sharing =D

I dont have to compete with anyone as I have more business than I can manage. Honestly there are very limited number of REAL wedding photographer with experience (at least min 50 weddings for actual day and 50% pre wed) others are all make believe.

Given the limited number of wedding photographers only a handful with enough experience to shoot Hotel (march in suddenly dim with spotlight, given manual setting u needa change everything especially WB)

Yes I can earn more than the figure above as you state, given i sacrifice weekends with family/gf, my health as I shoot AD on weekends Pre Wed on weekdays and every other day sit down n edit. I tried hiring people to edit, but somehow cant find those who is good enough or those who r good wont stay.

I used to train someone and now he is doing quite ok, but like every other business i do sometimes cut slack on editing. Because he is with me, he is well aware of these and he bad mouth to gain more business. Lucky for me i am looking to cut down my jobs because is really exhausting mentally and physically.

After more than 10 years doing so I felt that this is becoming a job rather than my hobby. Trust me choose photography because you like it not because of the money behind, you dont know what I gotta go through everyday

Bro, good sharing. Now Im thinking to do something easier like editing wedding invitation, do you know editing using photoshop?
