I have been teaching myself video or multimedia editing ever since I retired from my broadcast news producer job. It’s been a great lesson in wishing I had paid more attention to what the wizard sitting next to me in the edit room was actually doing while pushing all those buttons. In fact I was paying a lot of attention, but learning to actually do it is another thing. I did once, while at NBC, take a weekend class to learn about editing using Avid software, but without practicing after the class, I didn’t really learn more than an overview.
That was the PC world anyway. Now I am a mac person, so I have been learning Final Cut with the entry level Final Cut Express version of the software. I decided to learn Final Cut because I wasn’t comfortable with all the other programs out there that are supposed to make it easy to produce slideshows or movies. I guess because I was used to the things we could do at work with professional software, I am more comfortable with those tools.
In any case. I am in the process of producing a video now for a great non-profit that I work with called Trash for Teaching. I just posted a preview of the work I have been doing. You can also get to it by going to the the Clients button on the menu and looking for the T4T demo video link at the bottom of the page.
The last few days I have been struggling to find an easy way to upload and present a video loads quickly and runs properly. Think I found a good one. It is called Cincopa and is a WordPress plug in.
