10 Talent Tips In 10 Minutes – Make Great Videos
This is a video I posted a while back now but over the last week I have been doing some shooting and it came to mind.
I have been working with some people that have little to no experience in front of the camera so getting them to look decent on screen has been a bit of a challenge.
Let’s face it, standing in front of a camera and delivering dialogue is not exactly a natural process!
So check these tips to look better on camera.
How to Remove Objects in Your Video with Filmora 13
Over the past week or so with the update of Filmora to 13.6.2… or thereabouts an A.I. driven object remover was added.
I have been too busy to actually look at it myself and form any opinion on it.
In theory it sounds great but then again so does communism but that never seems to work out well!
For a more realistic look at the new feature here’s Jacky with a demo video showing the new tool in action.
How to Create Animated GIF and PNG Output – PowerDirector
In CyberLink PowerDirector you have the ability to create animated GIFs has been a feature for quite a while now.
What many people don’t realize is that PNG files can also be created with animation just like a GIF.
In the video below you can see how to do that in PowerDirector and also an explanation of some of the differences between the two.
Easy Steps to Build an AI Studio in Your Home (for only 0$)
This is a great way to change the background of your videos entirely free and with pretty much no limit to what you can do!
All it takes is a little A.I. magic and the only real requitement for your video editing software is that it has some reasonable masking abilities.
Best FREE Video Editing Apps For Android & iPhone (2024 Reviews)
I never use mobile apps to edit videos on mobile devices so I am definitely not the person to be listening to on that subject.
I have tried and I find the experience simply annoying… I need the wide open spaces of my dual monitor setup!
Anyhoo, some people that I would listen to on this subject if I was going to use an app would be the guys at Primal Video… so here ya go!
Start Using Fusion – DaVinci Resolve 19 Beginner Fusion Tutorial
With the release of DaVinci Resolve 19 Beta quite a few people have come out with new tutorials covering the latest version and what’s new.
This week Jason Yadlovski uploaded a complete Fairlight tutorial which you can find somewhere around here in this post.
On top of that my “go to” guy for Fusion, Casey Faris has also released a full end to end tutorial for the Fusion page.
I use both of these guys not just because they know the software but because they are great at explaining and demonstrating how to both get started and get the most out of the program.
Casey’s new tutorial is below.
FAIRLIGHT 19 CRASH COURSE – DaVinci Resolve 19 Walkthrough (BEGINNER)
DaVinci Resolve 19 Beta has been roaming around in the wild for a few months now so at the moment you have a choice between going with the new 19 Beta version or the previous and (relatively) more stable 18.6.
Because Resolve is basically four fully professional video production components rolled into one, learning each one can be a pretty daunting proposition.
The second last one which I have recently pulled up my big boy pants on and dived into is Fairlight, the Digital Audio Workstation module.
I know I should really learn the Fusion Page but at this stage I don’t even want to talk about it!
The good news is that the default view of the Fairlight page is pretty reasonable once you start to find your way around!
Just make sure you don’t choose to show everything on the screen because that’s a technical nightmare I for one am not ready for.
If you follow my posts at all you will know there are only a few guys I refer to for Resolve tutorials and for when it comes to audio I use Jason Yadlovski.
He know his stuff and can clearly communicate his knowledge.
In this video he gives an entire “soup to nuts” run through of Fairlight and what it can do.
Delete a Clip without Moving Other Clips – DaVinci Resolve
This is just a little tip for DaVinci Resolve that caught my eye because for ages it drove me crazy!
Until I learned how to use the Fairlight Page in Resolve to process my audio correctly I used Audacity.
That meant I exported the dialogue track from the Resolve project in WAV format, processed with Audacity then imported it back in muting the original. Simple right?
Sometimes when I imported it back in and added it to the timeline I would find I had forgotten something in the processing chain or screwed something up in some way.
If you know me you know that’s not a far fetched scenario!
So I would click the audio track in the timeline and hit Delete to remove it.
To my horror I would then discover that the last video clip on the timeline would get deleted too!
Finally I worked out that in Resolve the Delete key has a “ripple” effect built in to it.
So if you want to delete something without that ripple effect then you have to use the Backspace key.
