My first voyage into video

by Mike Haydon on 14 October 2008

I’ve been reading a lot about the power of video and how video is the way to go for the future. So I figured it was high time I learned how to do it. I got Adobe Premiere CS3 Pro and pulled up some clips from my honeymoon last year. I checked out the Premiere tutorials and off I went. I played with the sound, mixed 4 clips together and threw in some funky music. I then converted the whole thing into FLV format and uploaded it to youtube.

Here is the result:

It took me a few hours to make it, but now that I understand how to do it, I should be able to do a 2 minute video in an hour or so. The footage was pretty shaky, but we were shooting without a tripod, so I guess that’s to be expected :grin:

I have an AVI version which is much larger and much better quality, but this is reasonably good for the web IMO.

What do you think?

Good job; I don’t have the guts to post my first video it was so bad. I think this whole “Internet” thing is fad so I’m not going to learn any new tricks. ;)
