Any Suggestions
Can any body help please? I am looking for any suggestions on any basic editing theory and creativity DVD series that go through lessons on developing fil editing skill? I have been searching online tirelesslly and endlessly to no avail and can find nothing. I am not software specific. I cannot attend classes so I’m looking for a learning tool condensed in a DVD series that teach various types of cuts, editing certain genres, transitions, artistic editing techniques etc. I use Sony Vegas personally, and I am an at an intermediate level. This shouldn’t matter though, as I am interested in learning technique, and the reasoning of deciding when to cut from one scene to the other etc. Please help if you can.

You can learn a lot by going to some of these guys websites that moderate this forum. Look at their demo reels. There are several resoruces to visit on the web like vasst, videomaker, creativecow, etc. You can pick up a lot of basic methodology to editing. Ultimately you will develop your own style, but it won’t happen overnight. Good luck to you.

I’m not a professional, but I have made several vacation & high school sports videos, you can check out a few at YouTube.com and search hobie480, that have been well received. I happened upon Digital Juice products 6 or 7 years ago, when they were producing a number of FREE, short informational and instructional segments on various topics of video production and editing. Now these do promote their brand of products (understandably), but I learned a LOT from watching these segments, and they’re free to view online at anytime.
If you go to https://www.digitaljuice.com/djtv/default.aspx#sb=0&fl=2.332 on the Digital Juice website, you will see a listing for what they call DJTV (Digital Juice TeleVision). If you look on the left side of the page (Filter) and scroll down the page and look for the Host filter, I would recommend segments by Perry Jenkins, Eric D. Franks, Jeff Early, Chris ‘Ace’ Gates, and Chuck Peters. There are many other fine hosts, but most of them are doing segments on how to use a particular Digital Juice product or products to achieve a desired video effect. You can still get a lot of GREAT ideas from these segments as well.
