Edit Videos Like a Pro with the Videography Bootcamp Bundle

Videography Bootcamp

Video marketing is going strong this year, but there’s more to creating such content than just shooting from the right angle. You also need to know how to edit videos properly, and a course bundle such as the Videography Bootcamp that’s currently featured in our store, Walyou Deals, could be of great help.

Video content has become a great tool for distributing knowledge in a more interactive form. However, for it to be appealing and even go viral, videos need to be edited properly. This part might take more time than shooting the video, but the effort will be worth it, and assuming you are planning to monetize the content, editing done right basically pays for itself. Walyou Deals has a videography course bundle at a heavily discounted price for the next 6 days, so if you’re interested in capturing and editing video, this might turn out to be one of the best investments you could make in your future this year.

The first piece of the bundle, titled Complete Adobe Premiere Pro Video Editing Course will tackle everything from editing audio and adding video effects, to exporting videos and uploading them to YouTube.

Up next is DSLR Video Production – Start Shooting Better Video Today, a course that focuses on the equipment used in video production. Since incredibly expensive equipment doesn’t actually guarantee fantastic results, you’re better off learning how to utilize more affordable cameras to the max.

Cinematography Masterclass: Start Shooting Better Video Now takes things even further, and teaches you how to shoot great videos with iPhones or GoPro action cams.

Introduction to Camtasia, Final Cut Pro X & Wirecast for Live Streaming, as its name strongly suggests, is a 6-hour long course that focuses on the aforementioned softwares. At the end of this you should be able to create screen capture video tutorials, and stream live courses.

Drones: Learn Aerial Photography & Videography Basics touches upon the things that can be achieved with an UAV that’s equipped with a camera. The final result depends a lot on the quality of the sensor used in the said camera, but once you practice flying and video shooting on a more affordable drone, you can move up the ladder and get yourself something more professional.

Filmmaking Hacks: Secrets to Shoot & Market Your Indie Film is a course that explains why it’s not mandatory to be affiliated to renowned movie studios in order to be a successful filmmaker.

GoPro for Beginners: How to Shoot & Edit Video with a GoPro is yet another course that goes over the advantages of using an action camera for shooting videos.

Complete Green Screen Video Editing For Beginners & Pros, the final course in the bundle, covers special effects and how they can be added to your video using a green screen.

The bundle including all of the above courses is available on Walyou Deals for 6 more days with a 97% discount from the original price of $1,728, meaning that you’ll only have to pay $39 for it. The topic is definitely trending now and the discount is one of the most massive ones in our store, so if you’re into video editing or consider starting a career in this industry, the investment is well worth it!

Open source video editing program needs help on Kickstarter, offers immortality in return

Open source video editor seeks help on Kickstarter, offers immortality in return

Forget having kids. Forget mind-transfers. Real immortality lies in naming a video transition after yourself. No, seriously. To make eternity happen, you simply need to donate $500 to Jonathan Thomas's Kickstarter project and in return he'll let you create and name a transition effect in a new cross-platform version of his free, open source video editing program, called OpenShot. Currently Linux-only, it supports regular timeline-based video editing with layers and compositing, transitions, effects, titles and support for a wide range of AV formats courtesy of the usual open source codec libraries. If it reaches its $20k goal, Thomas will start work Windows and Mac OS editions alongside Linux, anticipating a beta release before the end of the year. Smaller donations will receive more minor possessions in the afterlife, such as your name in the credits. Bigger pledges -- of up to $10,000 -- will flip things around slightly and require Jonathan Thomas to sell you his soul. Go get it, Pharoah!

Magisto sharpens its AI video editing algorithm, adds themes, albums and group editing

Magisto sharpens its AI video editing algorithm, adds themes, albums and group editing

Sure, Magisto's automatic video editing algorithms are great for social media mashup clips, but what if you want to use the service's robotic sense of cinema to tell a story? CEO Oren Boiman says it's just what social video is missing, and has tweaked the service to fill the gap. Users now have access to a collection of themes to change how their footage is handled. The idea is to tip the algorithm in on the emotion the user is trying to convey, selecting "so cute" or "street beat" to cue it to select appropriately adorable or aggressive song suggestions, special effects or title treatments. The service also added a new video album feature, making it easier to organize and share videos with friends and family, and hopes to implement a collaborative editing system soon -- complete with post-production tools to tweak the computer's direction. Of course, you could always do things the old fashioned way.

Apple updates Final Cut Pro X with slew of new features, now available for download

Apple updates Final Cut Pro X with slew of new features, now available for download

Amidst all the announcements made at the California Theatre earlier today, Apple very quietly pushed out a fresh version of its famed (and at times controversial) video editing software, Final Cut Pro. Inside v10.0.6 users can find an array of new additions and improvements that will most certainly be welcomed with open arms by the FCPX crowd, making this the most notable update since bundling in those multicam and broadcast monitoring features. Among these new traits are RED camera support for native REDCODE RAW editing, the ability to add freeze frames to the timeline with a simple keystroke, novel audio controls for use while tinkering with multicam clips and a revamped "Share" interface for exporting projects. The Final Cut Pro update can be downloaded now from the usual spot, and, of course, it comes at no extra cost for those who've already shelled out the $300. The full and hefty changelog can be found right after the break.

Adobe announces Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11 with new filters, more beginner-friendly UI

Adobe announces Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11 with new filters, more beginner-friendly UI

Earlier this year Adobe announced Photoshop CS6 with a new user interface, and now Elements, its line of beginner-level products, is getting a facelift too. The company just introduced Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11, and while the two apps include a handful of new photo- and video-editing features, the bigger story is that they're designed to be less intimidating to newbies. Both have a more readable UI, for instance, as opposed to the old theme with the dark background and low-contrast icons. Things like preview thumbnails have been brought to the forefront so that they're easier to find. Also, both pieces of software ship with a re-tooled image organizer that puts commonly used functions front and center, with lesser-used features like keyword tagging hidden in the menus. The organizer also now has Google Maps integration, so you can view your shots on a map. You can also for the first time view by event, or by the names of people tagged in photos.

As for new features, Photoshop Elements is getting a series of new comic-inspired filters, including "Pen and Ink," "Graphic Novel" and, yes, "Comic." Photoshop Elements now allows European customers to upload photos to Cewe, while Premiere Elements supports Vimeo uploads. (Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Shutterfly and SmugMug sharing were already built in.) Amateur videographers will also enjoy a series of new Hollywood-inspired filters, including Red Noir, a "Sin City"-esque effect with red accents, and "Pandora," which is meant to evoke "Avatar." Finally, you can use Time Remapping and Reverse Time to speed up footage or slow it down, respectively.

Fans of the software will notice the pricing hasn't changed: the two apps cost $100 each, or $150 as a bundle. Folks who are upgrading will pay $80 a pop, or $120 for both. Look for both on Adobe's site today, with the old-fashioned boxed software hitting retailers soon.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 now fully supports Retina MacBook Pro: both HiDPI and GPU compute

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 now fully supports Retina MacBook Pro: both HiDPI and GPU compute

Adobe's video editing application is already a lovely thing on the Retina MacBook Pro, but not visually -- only in terms of its raw performance on that Core i7 CPU. Until today's update -- 6.0.2 -- the software hasn't actually been able to make use of HiDPI itself, and neither has it been able to exploit the performance-boosting potential of GPU compute on the laptop's NVIDIA GTX 650M graphics card. If you're lucky enough to own this combo of hardware and software, Adobe's official blog suggests that you go ahead and check for the update or apply it manually following the instructions at the source link below (it's actually within Bridge that you should check for the update, with other Adobe titles closed). We're hopefully about to apply it ourselves and will report back on its impact.

Update on the update: As expected, video thumbnails look sumptuous in the absence of pixelation, making this a worthy revision. That said, software encoding of a short timeline was still faster with the Mercury Engine set to software mode rather than GPU compute. A 2:30 clip took 2:02 to encode with OpenCL, 2:00 to encode with CUDA, but just 1:42 to encode in Software mode. No doubt people who do multi-cam editing or need to render complex effects in real-time may see a benefit -- please, let us know if you do!

Update: Just had word from NVIDIA that may explain what's happening with our encoding times. We're told it's only if we enable "Maximum Render Quality" that GPU compute will shine through in terms of performance, because enabling max quality in software mode would slow it down. So far we've only tried with default settings, so clearly there's room here for more experimentation.

Avid Studio for iPad gets renamed, free on the App Store for a limited period of time

Avid Studio for iPad gets renamed, free on the App Store for a limited period of time

Avid Studio for iPad arrived back in February, priced to coax iPad filmmakers away from Apple's in-house iMovie. Since then, however, the company sold its consumer business arm to Corel, leading it to re-brand the package as Pinnacle Studio for iPad. The editing app has gained a bunch of features that users were clamoring for, including 1080p support, integrated uploads to Box and a raft of stability tweaks. As part of the change, it's being offered free for a limited time, so if you own an iPad (or plan on getting one in the future), we suggest you jump-cut to the App Store pretty quickly.
