I know this is a photography website, but I've never heard anyone on here mention being into video or video editing. I've seen joey's creations and frame-by-frame editing, but I was wondering if anyone else on here toys with the video camera. I'm considering getting a video camera and attempting to put together some wakeboarding videos and doing some work with special effect editing. Hopefully I spoken in a forbidden language by mentioning the word video.

| I have toyed with it. I made a video of my daughter learning to ride her bike. She took some spectacular spills that were caught on tape. If I had somewhere to host it I would but video files of decent quality are quite big. Editing was not tough just time consuming. |

My Panasonice GS400 arrived from B&H today! The battery is charging...
Does anyone know of a video hosting site like Pbase is for photos?
Thanks,
JD |

Try video.google.com
It's in beta, but it seems pretty sweet. |

| My husband has dabbled in video and editing. He swears by the program Pinnacle Hollywood FX for Studio. I have used it a bit too and find it very easy to use. As for sites to publish videos, sorry I can't help with that ... good luck!! :) |

I get out the camcorder for christmas and birthdays etc, my daughters will hopefully appreciate it in years to come.
I also use Pinnacle Studio, and for the most part am very happy with it.
I am certainly no expert, but Pinnacle Studio makes it easy to come up with good looking movies. |

Video is awesome! I do it as a hobby. If I was a member (soon) I would show you my movies. My sons have a show down for a bag of doritos. There is the Fistful of Doritos, For a Few Doritos More and last but not least The Good, The Bad, and The Hungry. Starring the Bag with no name.
Pinnacle is good for effects and stuff but windows movie maker is fine if you are not going professional. Editing is fairly easy if you have time.

My husband keeps attempting to get into video, but the editing really is time consuming. It seems like it shouldn't be that bad but when he starts it seems to never end.
Best of luck to you, I am sure there is a good way to do it. |

I have Pinnacle Hollywood FX for studio as well, and it makes things very easy. It came with a converter that has video inputs and usb output so I can run any kind of video I have stored on VHS into the computer for editing. I've never been able to get it to work though. For any movies longer than a few minutes the audio track gets away from the video track and the words are at least 10 seconds too early or too late.

There's a lot of adequate video editing programs out there now. The prices for the software really came down with the introduction of digital video.
But if you really get into video and the special effect Adobe Premiere is a VERY nice program. I used to do television commercials and music videos with it.
You CAN do almost anything with it.
But there is a learning curve to it and a whole new language.
Premiere Elements looks decent too. |

I am actually a video professional. I am a videographer/producer for a documentary unit. I shoot with DVCPRO cameras and edit on AVID. The only way to go. I have used Adobe Premiere too, but AVID is so precise it is amazing.

Avid is wonderful, but a little much for the home...
Premiere will do most of what Avid will do, especially when compared to the light weight story line stuff, but Avid is the gold standard. |

I'm also a video professional. I worked at a tv station for a few years, and have some stuff go regional and national. Nice feeling. I like Avid but feel it's a bit clunky for what it cost. If you don't mind extra render times, Premiere Pro does ok, integrates with Audition and After Effects, and is fairly easly to learn.
If I was going to learn another NLE at this point, it would probably be Final Cut. Avid is a bit more documentary and news.
That all being sade, I could put together good work on a deck to deck. The point is that all the applications are tools. It's your imagination and drive that really make for good video.

I use Video Studio 7 (they are up to version 9). It's really easy to use, really cheap to buy and gives more than adequate quality for home use.
