Re: How to Make your Videos look more Professional

[rickmlamb1]

dude u really know a lot about making professional videos. Are there any books that you would recommend to learn more about making videos?

[megaallison2000]

2 questions.

1) How do you put a picture on your green screen?

2) If your editing software says "record audio" can you insert headphones and will it record?

[WeWhoBelongtoYou]

Can I make a green scene outside if it is really sunny? Or would that cast too many shadows. thank you!

[Moissawy]

U r ok but u need a bit more:

1:u need a bit of backlight, u r castin to many shadow on urself and face.. adjust the lights a bit around untill u dnt have any shadwos, or have shadows with meanin not jus random lookin n makes it look messy..

2: U need to change that plain white shirt, it jus makes everythin look cheap,

3: u need to have more expressions, and prounce more and dnt jus seem bored while u r presentin. this is not an essay where ur face forces me to get bored..

jus my advice

[davidkriner1]

[bILLproductions7669]

[MrFartsalot1]

Hey I need people to show me the best way to find editing software and how do i use it to make my videos like yours and also if i post a video can you please suscribe or leave constructive criticism so i can get better

[CDFfilms]

dude you are not screwd, if you dont have a mic input, you can record the audio seperatley, like the pro's do. know what a clapper board is for?

[JesseRyanOlver]

I know this is old dude, but I can see the blue/green screen through your eyes : |

[BlackPlanetFilms]

[chevywoman]

you are doing a great job,,,looking forward in seeing more of your videos,,,

How did you make the writing go behind you?

[TheEyefilms]

can u make a video on the greenscreen and how to convert it to a backround

[stoner1768]

how do you make words move and pop up like that?

[bILLproductions7669]

its a program called livetype

[stoner1768]

[drmkeon]

i have an older version of livetype that came with my Final Cut Express, how much does it cost to get more

^^my channel^^

[DQdesign]

@stoner1768 hahaha

[0004haon]

can u extend the headfones in any way

[MrSmallButBrave]

[cadguy73]

what software do you use? FinalCut ?

[bILLproductions7669]

yea final cut express 4

[bILLproductions7669]

well it all depends on what program you have, like I use final cut which is completely different from sony vegas

[sharmaboi]

hey, nice vid. can you put up a video about chroma keying? it would be really helpfull because your chroma keys are good and i cant seem to be able to get mine perfect..

thanks

[GreenConNorSo]

can you use headphones as mic for photobooth

[bILLproductions7669]

to take video, maybe idk, just plug it into the microphone hole instead of the headphones hole

[Demandfilms]

when u clap and u turn off the screen were your blue screen is not fit the hole spot how do u key that out.. like were its not blue...cause my screen dosent fit the hole spot...help me please

[bILLproductions7669]

u can either zoom in on the clip with is better or u can crop the clip so that its just the blue

[FuledByFun]

Can I just make a green screen by putting a random color bed sheet on the wall? Why must it be green? What program would I need to work with the green screen? Can you just use iMovie?

[bILLproductions7669]

green and blue work the best because they are the farthest color away from your skin tone, and u need a program cabaple of chroma keying and window movie maker cant do that

[officialAZstudios]

no imovie wont either. there may be some free chroma key programs available though. google it.

[bILLproductions7669]

i used a Canon DM-50 and i forget where i got the windscreen (i got it off ebay) but my mic only works on an advanced acessory shoe

[YANEproductions]

what microphone do you use? and where did you get the windscreen? I use a Super Cardioid Calrad 10-10

[TheMikeGuy]

Are you able to make a video saying how to make videos look more proffesional by just using Windows Movie Maker? Like, what format to save it as and things like that?

[bILLproductions7669]

that would be a good idea, but it is very hard to do advanced video editing in windows movie maker, one tip is though to never use the default title (white writing with blue background) cause it just saying to everyone it is an amatuer video

[TheMikeGuy]

I know that one by now, it does look very cheap. I change it to white letters and a black background. I still wonder why they even made it blue, really? Its a movie making software, credits should look like actual movie credits. I also always use 16:9 and I save in High Quality(large), when you save it like that, it fills in the whole youtube widescreen, no black bars on the side.

[CinemeyeFilms]

Thanks for clearing this up. Great video by the way.

[mavericks417]

woah dude how did u make the titles go in front of u to behind u

i know with final cut express but how did u do it

[bILLproductions7669]

well i used keyframing for the motion but my background is green screened out so I made the title go over all the video levels first and then switched it so that it went under my video level but above the background

[mavericks417]

gotcha

i want final cut express so bad

i am hopefully getting it for christmas

[glovercm]

Good tips and good DIY. Thanks for the info.

[tcedr1]

along with EtherealSparkle's request for the chroma key feature in FCE4.. will you also show how to overlap audio from scene to scene? For example when you're talking about plugging in the headphones, "The way you're going to do this is you're going to take you're headphones, take the end of it..", the scene changes but you continue to talk.

[bILLproductions7669]

on the left side of the timeline u click the lock button on the two audio clips then u can remove the video part of the clip

[seashorecanadian]

A really GREAT!!!! video with LOTS of very VALUABLE info!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

[EtherealSparkle]

That was great info! Thank you so much! Would you show us how to work the chroma effect in FCE4?

Check Savers in the US or Value Village in Canada. The Local Sally Ann may have something useful as well.
