Here is the overview of the editing software that I use to do all my video compositing. In fact, I used that very software to edit THIS video! I do more...

Ive just downloaded the software onto my computer and I watched yours and terrys video to how you create your videos and I throughly enjoyed them and it helped me to understand the programme better. Ive got 30 days left so I was wondering is it worth more...

Posted Aug 19, 08 by BaronDixon
I'm gonna go ahead and say yes, because I use this program extensively. All the greenscreen compositing work you've seen in my "show" videos has been done in MAGIX, and I love editing with it, too. I can put shots and audio wherever I want them very more...

This is the same exact version I use for my videos. That's what I did with this one that's attached. The extra Scruffy's that pop out the sides with "Fuck yeah!" but you'll notice it's off-sync on the middle part with the pop-ups because my computer more...

Posted Aug 11, 07 by DarkMessiahNF
Yeah see, I didn't use to try that.. The first time I did anything related to lip-syncing was that Team America video, where I just moved my mouth when they sang.. then I tried it on an actual speaking thing (I used my camera to record audio clips, too) more...

You know? If yo uhadn't mentioned the off-sync parts, I never would have noticed--and it STILL isn't noticeable! But I can see where it could be a potential problem because4 when you start adding Special effects layers like Chroma_key ("Greenbox" in more...

you are such a fun guy.. snails pace for me with this whole process. Im fine with that. Much effort goes behind your videos, mine are random fun.
Putting this in fav's for future refrence.. oh there goes a butterfly gotta go!
bunnies rule! 8-)

That's why I do these tutorial videos (Like the Photoshop ones, too), because then you can favorite them and have them at your fingertips for reference and inspiration.

i have tried, but i want to use some effects
i have downloaded some toturials of effects but i just can not get it right
that is why i want your help
to see if you can teach me
becuase i think that you are really good at it

Posted Aug 11, 07 by BaronDixon
Well, let's just forget about Special Effects per se for the moment... Come up with the story you want to tell FIRST. That will determine your effects needs. You may just only need to do make-up and blood effects, and yo udon't really need a computer more...for that. That's the fun of making horror, doing the actual physical gags.

For my Tyrannovision series, my special effects are more out of necessity and economy than for the sheer spectacle of it. They are the way I build my "Sets" so I don't have to physically build and light a full-scale set. Then I do whatever it takes to service the plotline and the jokes--it's ALWAYS about the jokes! LOL

Effects do not necessarily a movie make. But they have become a more necessary means to an end. Back when I was your age and and we were still coexisting with dinosaurs and living in caves, wearing animals skins, Special effects were a more costly element for a movie. Now with digital technology, they actually SAVE money now!

But also, when I was your age, I was making my own little experimental short films with wahtever crude method of making movie magic I had to entertain and amuse my friends. In many ways, it helped MAKE me a lot of friends out of people who wouldn't ordinarily choose to BE my friend. So I can totally rerlate to where you're at.

So the FIRST lesson I'm gonna teach you is to do what I did at your age. Study movies like crazy, especially older, pre0digital age stuff, and take in as much material on the making of movies as yo9 ucan get your hands on. Read about how the Big Boys do it, then look at the resources that you have available to you and see if you can invent a way to pull off the same effect yourself. Don't get too hung up on doiong things the supposed "right" way. Do them the WRONG way if it will get the job done!

Watch DVD's that have commentaries and behind the scenes documentaries on them! Those are Film Schools on a Disk! Get every Robert Rodriguez movie with commetary that you can get your hands on --and that would be every one except the first "Spy Kids" movie. Start with "El Mariachi" and work your way forward to "Sin City". Because, just like you and me, Chris, he started out as a kid making movies at home with his family and friends.

You're already part of a grand tradition.

And do like everyone else does: message me directly for specific input on your projects. less

i have always been interested in making movies
that is what i want to do when i get older
make horror movies
my week point...fx
you are reall good at it
you know how to make 3d fx
you are good at chroma key
i would be forever grateful if you could sometime more...

Posted Aug 12, 07 by BaronDixon
I keep forgetting to point this out, but I promies to put it in a more involved tutorial about chroma-keying....

If you Right-Click on the clip you want to apply an effect to, you will get a selection of options, including "Video Effects". It's faster more...

Posted Aug 11, 07 by DarkMessiahNF
If you have this program, Chris, all you need to really know is the aspects of layering. Top layer is farthest behind everything else. Best thing to do on that, like he said, just have a simple background or whatever, then go ahead and start putting more...

One correction to your very generous grocery list there:

I don't really do any 3D stuff. I try to fake it in 2D.

Also, why WAIT until you're OLDER to make a horror movie? Make one NOW if that's what you want! They're a lotta fun!

I just downloaded vs. 12 last night, played with it a bit and the preview plays a bit choppy. Will more RAM help solve this? I have 1G in now.... Thanks!

Posted Aug 11, 07 by Idaho
Downloaded the E-version, (demo plus the activation code). I'm impatient with shipping and the local software selection sucks.

Posted Aug 11, 07 by DarkMessiahNF
Did you download the demo?

Posted Aug 11, 07 by BaronDixon
For me --and I only have 1 gig of RAM, too-- the playback is smooth until you start compositing effects. When yo ustart adding in tracks with a whole bunch of effects data, that's more of a tax on the memory than just footage in no effects mode. When more...

You made learning fun again!
the look of Mxix is very much like Sony vegas pro 7
only the timeline is at the top that seems to be the only thing I can see that's different anyway.
Great video Sir Dixon

Posted Aug 11, 07 by BaronDixon
YEAH, Kris! What the puppet said! There are a lotta Vegas users out there, and you are doing some very respectable work on your end. The best tutorials are the ones that come from everyday users like yourself.

Posted Aug 10, 07 by TerryBubble
Its your turn to do one with Sony Vegas Kris:)

Posted Aug 9, 07 by TerryBubble
You know we are going to have to start charging magix for these tutorials.. Someone just could come alongf with an offer and some free software.

Posted Aug 9, 07 by actingup
Magix looks very much like the software that we use at the TV station for our commercial and original content editing. Thanks again.

Posted Aug 9, 07 by MaxHeadroom
Exactly right, Baron...Avid Liquid Chrome to be exact. Good call.

Posted Aug 9, 07 by BaronDixon
I would think y'all'd have something like Avid over there, Ray.

LOL so you enjoy wearing your costume i see :-)
I use ULead 10, its ok but the play back is very jumpy and rendering can take ages!! BUT i can mask off any colour, so cromakey is any colour i like :-) For mr the big time thing is sync 'ing up all the more...

Posted Aug 11, 07 by DarkMessiahNF
I usually render mine as one big composite, but I've never had that problem.. then again, that might also be why my "Fuck Yeah" part in that Team America video went crazy.. but that's the only time it's ever happened.. O_o

Posted Aug 9, 07 by BaronDixon
It's not so much that I enjoy wearing that particular costume, it's just that the last three Production Vlogs were all shot as one session while I was shooting the guards scenes. I just broke it up into three separate tutorials.

Posted Aug 9, 07 by BaronDixon
My Advice: DON'T render your entire video as a composite. Just render the individual shots as uncompressed video. Then edit those shots together as your music video, THEN render that assembly. When you do it in small chunks like that you lessen the more...
