You can buy lights for video work, have a look on Amazon for instance. Try to light with white lights rather than household bulbs which tend to be a little towards the red side and affects your colour balance, or just make sure you do a colour balance. Also make sure you are recording at best quality as well.tombo1230 wrote:Tom:Music Junkie wrote:Hi Mj,Tom:
That made perfect sense to me. After fumbling with these various editors, it seems they are very similar in nature. I appreciate you chiming in on this. The clips you have put together are always sweet! I'll take whatever info you are willing to offer.... B)

I got lucky that we had it here at the house. My wife uses it and photoshop for all of our Christmas calendars and movies for the family. I had never messed with it.... I read great things about Sony Vega as well. It was listed above PE8 in the list I referenced above. Quite a powerful program I think. I am hoping to try and get a sample up here in a few days for some feedback. I'll try and put together a little list of what I did to get the result.
Thanks!

all you have to do is ask and I will give you any info' I can. I edit for a living, albeit on more sophisticated equipment, but happy to help where I can if you need it. I am using Sony Vegas at the moment for TG-edits.

Right now, I am feeling pretty good about the editing and adding in of the guitar track. Once I get that down, I will probably go back and try to add some vocals in the future.
My current issue, albeit a minor one, is getting better lighting in my living room in the evening. I am going to try and get some additional lamps in tonight and see if I can reduce the grainyness in the videos... Only problem with that is people might actually see ME better too and that could be scary..... :woohoo: :woohoo:
Thanks again, and I'll probably be asking a few more questions as I go....
