Video Editing and Design
Best Tips for Video Production:
First step : SAVE! Make a one-stop-shop folder to SAVE everything you are adding to your timeline. Pictures, music, clips, etc. all go into this folder. Keep it all in there and then use the editor to connect to those files.
Next step: PLAN!! Filming should take the LEAST amount of time. Plan what you can before you even turn on the camera. The more you plan, the less you have to edit!
A tool like Celtx may help you PLAN. It is a program you can use to organize your characters, timeline, shooting schedule, script, etc. all in one place. Very cool free tool!
