Video Production General

Can we get a video production thread going?

You seem to be on the wrong board, friend.

I don't see anything in your post about AMD or Nvidia, or about a phone you definitely own but can't unlock, etc.

>iphone 6s
>i jerked off to tranny porn and shot a load onto my face while seated

don't know what you expected but

thinking about learning premiere pro and attaching my smartphone to a drone to do some outdoor stuff. anyone have experience with this?

Is this a cheap old phone you don't mind losing? You're probably better off using a GoPro Session or Polaroid cube for mounting options and weight.

Also if you directly mount the camera to your drone, the vibrations might transfer over. Landscapes may be ok, but nothing up close.

Digging the video generals.

There's always a video general on /p/. You should go there.

But to make this Sup Forums related. What's the cheapest computer I can get for video/images editing?

Build a mid tier hackintosh with 16gb ram and upgrade GPU / RAM as you go.

Running an i7 2600k 16gb dual GPU 2gb 670 / 4gb 770 and it still tears through things until multiple nodes are added in resolve . You could probably make this for $600 or less nowadays.

Wait for gtx 1060 support and budget but powerful builds are well within reach.

Boy! They did a job on you with their free sample.
Have you any experience with professional software or just free samples in the bottom of hardware packaging?

How are those YouTube video edits going?

The free version is also excellent

>The free version is also excellent
So how do they get people to buy the full version if the sample is so good?

not considering price points

how does URSA compare to RED?

>Sony a6000 with kit lenses, 50mm f/1.8, 30mm f/1.4 (recent acquisitions but i haven't shot anything with it yet)
>Few school projects mostly made for fun and for the sake of getting better at editing, few AMVs made for the same purpose. Not gonna share though.

I really wanna go out and shoot a new video but I've been busy with other things unfortunately.

What's a cheap camera that's good and modern in terms of support and feautrrs.

Will be my main camera as I'm starting to shoot indie music videos

there is a established video and photo production community over at

>video work is still technology but theres no necessary neeed to post here aswell

I just use corel video studio (used to be Unreal), ever since back in the day when I was looking for free or cracked video editing software. I've heard Vegas and Premier are 100% better though I don't really get how or in what way because All I ever do in video editing is...video editing. Cutting along a timeline, rearranging shots and scenes, exporting audio and overlaying things, etc. Why would I need $200 worth of software to do that? Also, fuck the Final Cut Meme, PC can video edit just as good as a fucking Mac.

As for camera, I'm not sure. I have always wanted to get a really good one to try making short films, I've done some research and know it will at least cost me $1000 just to have something that fits my needs, but I should probably get anything an do it with that for now.

I shoot videos of my wife and my wife's son's father (BBC).

Well to begin with I can use more than one GPU, essential for larger projects.

Also >1080 resolution is locked down.

Then a plethora of industry standard grading tools and NR. It's a steal at $1000 for larger production houses.

yes, by all means. Let's have another thread about graphics cards and phones!

Avid master race premiere is a good second choice (never go vegas or final cut, it's bullshit)
Sony FS7 (never go dslr)
Some local tv and ads (I wish I was in film but whatever)

Get a 600D and install magic lantern onto it. Films 1080p30, 720p60 (if you need some slomo), big sensor (for the price), good DOF, decent ISO, fully manual (easy with magic lantern), has a mic input and if you get a cheap 50mm f/1.8 lens footage looks amazing (though a 50mm prime might not be as versatile as the kitlens). Also, the camera is very cheap (might wanna get it with the kit lens or another zoom lens, tho).

Actual video guy here. Here's a quick list of reasonable purchases to make.

>Camera
Personally I would reccommend buying a used Lumix GH3. They're excellent cameras for videography and some solid photography capabilities. Another good reason to buy one is because the flange distance is shorter because there isn't a mirrior. This allows you to use adapters for a really great selection of lenses.

You could also buy something cheaper if you want to go all in on editing software and a pc now. I just feel that the GH3 will have you sorted at camera for a pretty long time.

>software
If you're a student just subscribe to the Adobe Suite.

If you're a faggot with a Mac you can get final cut.

>gear
Buy a tripod, it doesn't have to be amazing just get a decent one with a smooth enough head. You can always compensate a cheap tripod by using a rubber band to pull your arm.

You're going to need to get creative. When I was in high school I used to make rigs out of PVC pipes. Lots of people do it, there's probably plenty of great ideas and tutorials online.

>external mic
A serious need is an external microphone. It doesn't need to be amazing, but having a dedicated mix really helps with volume and clarity.

>accessories
There aren't too many accessories you really need. Get some extra batteries, a good strap and if you find yourself with extra cash a second-hand steadycam. If you want to plan a big project there are very trustworthy lens and gear rental sites available.

Also get an ND Filter.
