I now want to do music videos

Post by pmedia »

I now want to do music videos, is Video Studio good for the Job? Thanks to Photo Impact (which I still use), I am able to do exellent photography, graphic and web designs. I have now been encouraged to take it a bit further by doing music videos. I want to do professional looking music videos where I can remove and change the background, probably add a few effects(no out-dated effects which I have seen around though). I really admire music videos where the top and bottom of the screen is black while the image is in the middle; this is kind of like a widescreen effect. Can Video Studio Pro X3 deliver, can it live up to my expectations?

I must say that I have downloaded the trial version and it seems real complicated to me. The download process took long and I can't seem to get a manual for this program. These programs don't come with a help manual in Adobe Reader format anymore. Do I have to go online whenever I want help?

Certainly VideoStudio is more than capable of making a music video.

The learning curve will be steep...so start with a few simple projects first to get the hang of things. Read answeres to most questions posted here...it's likely you will come across a similar problem yourself...and you'll already know the answer. there are many helpful tutorials on Youtube.

You'll come to learn the fun in fiddling around with a video Editor...and VS is more than capable of making professional looking music videos

Have fun

Hi pmedia
I would certainly endorse what Jeff and clevo have said and would add that it would be helpful if you completed your system details. Video editing is quite resource hungry and many problems can be put down to slow processors or not quite enough RAM so if we have your full details it will help in answering any future queries you may have. It is indeed a steep learning curve and will take some time commitment but is very interesting. Please go to the "Please read this before posting" thread at the top of this Forum and always give as much detail as possible.
