In a past video you mentioned that you only use After Effects, even for editing. Why don't you use Final Cut? Or do you now?

@zolaboy

I know I'm probably completely ignorant to the topic at hand, but in this video you mentioned how motion blur can only be used in after effects if the motion is inside of after effects.

So what I was wondering, is since I saw a video by Crest involving motion estimated blur inside a minecraft video, could you do a tutorial on motion blur for this kind of thing?

(I believe his video was called CinemaCraft 2, and his YT name is SirCrest in case you don't already know)

[zolaboy]

@BitOfADunce I know Crest. Anyway the blur you're asking about is generated with plugins such as reelsmart motion blur by RE:Vision

Zola I know you do editing and stuff, but what exactly do you do as a career? I would really like to get into some stuff like that that allows me to be creative. What classes would I take to learn this stuff at college? Please reply thanks bye.

@mjcaboose666 He's got an excellent video on his website which answers questions on how to get into Motion Graphics, I highly suggest you check it out :-)

[mjcaboose666]

@PeteJohnMcGarvey Cool thanks man appreciate it. The competetive gaming scene is getting bigger and soon people will pay good money to edit montages. I really want to get into something like this where i get paid to be creative. You know what I mean. Also do you edit too, if you do like what editing programs and stuff do you recommend for a begginer.

[BitOfADunce]

@mjcaboose666 I don't mean to sound disheartening, but hoping for the gaming montage scene to get to a point where you can live off of it isn't the best idea in the world. I know quite a few video editors who started off in montages before moving on to more professional stuff.

I know I heard someone once say: why bother wasting such talent and energy on something that will gain you $0 when you can use it for something not only more useful but you'll get paid more.

[mjcaboose666]

@BitOfADunce Yeah i didn't really mean to live off of, but I did mean to get started like you said some people did. I just would like to make enough to like get me through school so i can get a high end job. You didn't sound disheartening really I know your only trying to help and stuff. Thanks BTW.

[PeteJohnMcGarvey]

@mjcaboose666 I do edit, but nothing I've exposed to YouTube yet (and certainly nothing compared to Zola)! But if you are extremely interested in editing, some editing Software I began with was Sony Vegas, but have now moved on to After Effects CS5. Other software which you will definitely want to consider are things such as Photoshop, Boujou, Cinema 4D etc. I think also in that video Zola made on his website mentions all these things also and in more depth :-)

[mjcaboose666]

@PeteJohnMcGarvey Yeah I'm about to download the free one he was talking about and just mess around with it and see what its about.
