That video is way too long. I think I made it to the 5 minute mark. Digital Juices’s new line of products have been available for digital download for a couple of years.

If you have the budget for custom music go for it. However, I think there is a lot of great stock music out there.

People don’t like to download images just to look at them to tell you what they think. You can post the images right here in the thread. When you hit reply and start typing your response you’ll see an icon just above where you are typing. The icon that looks like a camera will let you upload the photo to the COW and then give you code to embed the image into your post.

Sounds like you need to get a broadcast monitor. Not a TV but a broadcast monitor because it will let you adjust it.

True, Final Cut had feathering capabilities of its own, but Final Cut wasn’t able to dynamically link footage between itself and After Effects. Final Cut had Motion, which was disappointing in its own right, so they kind of had to include extra features so that people wouldn’t have to round trip it out to After Effects.Adobe Premiere 1.0 was released in 1991. Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 was released in 2006 and introduced Dynamic Link with After Effects projects. That is over a decade until PPro was able to dynamic link to After Effects and you are saying FCP had to offer the feature because they couldn’t dynamic link to After Effects. This is something that should have been in Premiere a long time ago which is why this thread is so long.
Also, Motion is a fantastic program that has allowed many people to create really cool stuff and can easily handle a garbage matte that can feather. Also Motion introduced the ability to round trip with FCP in 2005. Apple called it Round Tripping but it functioned just like Dynamic Linking does.

It doesn’t make things any less irritating if you don’t have AE, but it seems like they’re trying to draw lines in the sand as to what can be categorized under “video editing” and what falls under “compositing and effects”.I don’t work for or represent Adobe so I can’t speak for them, but I don’t think they “draw lines in the sand.” I think they want to offer as many ways possible to create cool stuff.

To spend extra time to round trip to After Effects to do something as simple as adding a feather to a garbage matte is silly when Adobe could just add the feature to PPro. Based on what you are saying why did Adobe even bother adding a feather to crop when you could just round trip it to After Effects and feather their? A feather garbage matte has been available in FCP for over a decade. Having PPro do things that AE can has been around for a long time. A good example is the Text tool. My hope is that they add this functionality in the next version. Even with that said I love PPro much more then FCP.

Anyway this thread seems to have turned into one about working alone Vs working with others, so I thought I’d share my thoughts on that.Sorry, that is probably my fault. To answer the question, I’m an introvert who can be an extravert when I need to be. A fellow charity volunteer was surprised when I told him that I consider myself an introvert.

Overall I think you should be very proud of your video. It felt like some of the footage was shot a 30 frames and others at 24. Maybe it was because some footage was slowed down? That for some reason felt distracting to me. I’m a fan of the footage going out of focus and enjoyed that. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Aaron,
Your comment reminds me of FCP, when you brought on image into the View it would stretch the image to fit the screen, why I have no idea. But you would always get comments on the still photo looking funny. If you work with clients occasionally in the edit bay it is only inevitable that you will have a client who has never sat in an edit before and has very little experience. You will get a lot more questions about stuff such as the photo looks strange but it provides a great opportunity to explain to the client what the editing process is and what to expect.Stephen Smith

To me the video doesn’t scream 90s but SD. Obviously the best way to make a video look like the 90s is to have everyone dress in clothing from the 90s.
