I currently use Adobe Premiere and AE. I'm getting fed up with them though. It is annoying for me because I can get much better quality with my edits in AE than Premiere due to the fact that Premiere can't export a color bit higher than 10 or so, yet I can't really fully edit a film in AE due to...

I was thinking about my post workflow, and I began to wonder about how it is done professionally. Sometimes I am not sure how I should edit my audio vs my video, but one thing that I have is that I can use my camera audio to help sync my external audio. This allows me to edit my video before...

Considering upgrading my audio. I basically want better clarity and hotter signal. I am using the Tascam DR_100mkII right now so obviously there is a lot to improve upon. I am using the Sennheiser me66 along with it. I think the mic will do for now, but what should I upgrade? I am...

This is a music video I did for a competition, its the first "real" music video I have done (I've done a few for songs that' I've recorded, but they were quick and comedic). While we shot it and edited it fairly quickly (about two days for each), I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out...

Can someone explain this to me? I have been considering adding some 35mm film grain on some music video footage I'm shooting, but I don't know if I can bring myself to do it. I understand its to better help achieve the 'film look', but I don't care if it looks like it was shot on film or...

I have a scene in which it shows the aftermath of a wreck. I need the windshield cracked (spidered) so that the actress can be in the car and look as if her head went into it. I can't seem to find any good pictures or anything online. I would think it would be relatively simple. If any one has...

Not sure how to go about this. I will be spending a lot of time on color grading etc, as this video is for a competition. I prefer to color grade in After Effects, and I will also be doing some slow motion editing with Twixtor. On the other hand, I will be using Neat Video in some shots, and I...

So I was watching one of Drewnetwork's episodes on the GH2, and in it (episode 6) he offers a noise reduction tip, in which he says to constantly record with the WB set to indoor (I don't recall a setting called indoor on my movie mode), and says its because the red channel creates a lot of...

I just got my first lens and adapter for my GH2 (got a canon FD 50mm f1.8 pretty cheap). I just shot a test with it and then shot with my kit lens as comparison. A couple of things I've noticed: For some reason, even with a much lower aperture, the canon is darker, why is this? Adapter...

Hopefully there are some Neat Video users on here. I had a question: Do you prefer to apply Neat Video to your video before color correction and all of that stuff, or after? Initially I was going to reduce noise for all of my video first, and then go back and color grade it, etc. like...

I am working on a music video that will soon start production. I have almost everything figured out, except that in the video, a man follows an orb which leads him somewhere. My question is, what is the best way to accomplish this? I have element, but I haven't messed with it too much, and I'm...

Alright, so this is a video I did for fun, and I realize it's pretty over the top. However, I used it as an opportunity to mess with my exposure and color grading. I have had problems in the past with a lot of scenes coming out too dark and grainy, so I tried to work on that in this video...

These are two music videos that my brother and I did. We have a little fun music project (Horton Bros) and we just make fun dancey music. I personally don't listen to this kind of music, but I find it fun to write/record. We did the first video five months ago but I had to reupload it because...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG8zK1Ydn4Q My first "official" short, although once again it was impromptu. There was no material script, and it was shot in about three hours. Unfortunately, there was no sound person in the first half, and in the second half we were stretched for time, so it...

This is a short (and I mean short) that I did to test out my Gh2, and other equip. a few months ago. It was basically spur of the moment, and was not even written, hence the reason it doesn't have much going on or anything. Its was more an attempt to see what I could get out of my equipment...

I have noticed that a lot of the visual effects on the Starz series Spartacus seem to be somewhat (for want of a better term) cheap-looking. You can clearly see in some instances the editing flaws done in this series. However, I would assume it is a great way to do those kinds of effects on a...

Any opinions on this film school? I have considered going to it, but if I do I want to do it soon, as I would have to leave my current school (not film related). Unrelated Question: Is there anyway to change my username?

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here; I have even looked up Youtube tutorials. I am working with video from a hacked GH2, and the file sizes are pretty substantial. However, after I color grade it and everything else, and mix it down, it renders it at less than a gig! How is that possible...

So I have been reading more to find out how to get my dialogue to sound more "movie-like". Obviously the most common answer is that you have to start with great sound from the recording stage. But that aside, what kind of processing can you do to make it sound more cinema like. I have read a...

So I am going to go shooting in a few days, and I thought it could be a prime opportunity to try to get some real gunshot sounds recorded. I was curious what the best way to go about doing this would be, and perhaps what setup/settings should be used, as well as mic placement, etc. Equip. that...
