    Lightweight editor

    I tried editing videos with blender once but didn't really had much luck. I guess the interface is way more "3D editor" then "video editor". Anyway, I don't have a fancy graphics card in my computer and I run Linux, so I can recommend Shotcut (https://www.shotcut.org/). It's also supposed to...

    Sequence settings with different footage

    I think you should choose the setting which will give you the best quality from both video sources. If GoPro's footage doesn't look bad in your main setting then go with it. Otherwise try using the settings for GoPro. I don't know what GoPro's resolution and framerate is, but if it's...

    Why (Not) Go Hand-Held?

    In my experience, which is small, I've seen that camera movement whatever it is gives more dynamic look, so that it should be used when someone is walking from side to side, doing manual work, or showing to people emotionally engaged in an argument or when we want to show number of things laying...

    IndieTalk Weekly Challanges Proposal

    I think that it's all a great idea. I just spent a bit reading all posts in this thread. Usually my problem is the total lack of an idea for a film, so maybe challenges can help me. And a month is just the right amount of time to get something short done. Because if it requires many...

    Question about using Premiere Pro.

    Which Premiere Pro are you using? I have CS5.5 and when exporting I click on "Output name" and it shows me a dialog asking where to save it. Now if this dialog is locked to you, try clicking on the path bar at the top and writing the path manually. If you can't click the "Output name" try...

    Need to figure out what this effect is called.

    Is the subject moving or still? Because you can try to follow the subject with your camera to be in one place of the frame while 'orbiting' around him, which makes the background flow.

    Color grading looks more like 'digital', than 'film'.

    I'm not sure if I understand what you're trying to say, but isn't it like grading has to be made digitally and those films you're talking about were just not graded. Now the problem is to achieve a film look without color grading on a film tape (I guess that's the case) you have to arrange all...

    Computer/After Effects for a short film

    For the spider one, since it doesn't have to be very detailed you can just take an image of a spider and animate it using Puppet Pin Tool and moving it slowly down. For cobweb, well if you want it to look very good you should look for some one with Photoshop skills rather than After Effects...

    New to indietalk. Simple question

    To me, although I'm still pretty new to the filmmaking, the most important thing is that one day I might make something really good that everybody would watch and I'd become famous, but not like celebrity famous more like a known person that people don't follow in every day activities. :)

    How important is the target audience?

    Hi, I think that you should not worry about teachers not taking you seriously, because a) it's more about the film values, like if you did tell the story without unnecessary stuff or was the image quality (if poor) not disturbing, b) you can always make another type of film as a try whether the...

    Premiere Pro audio dilemma - effect takes a few seconds to work

    It was just an example. I don't remember if premiere exports Wave Files so I wrote mp3. But yes you're right, high quality audio is very valuable.

    Premiere Pro audio dilemma - effect takes a few seconds to work

    I have never got such problem, mostly because I try to do the audio things in Audition. You can right-click on the clip and go to 'Edit Clip in Adobe Audition' and remove the noise in there. Or you can use any other software if you don't have Audition. Just export the clip as audio file such as...

    Looking for stories

    Hi, I have a major problem, because I'd like to make a short film as a practice, but I have no story. Do you know any sites where people can share such? I've seen sites like this with ready scripts, but I prefer to make my own script out of a story. Thanks for all answers.
