Software for making movies are becoming very popular, particularly with the increasing number of people who enjoy being on Facebook, YouTube or MySpace. I found the other day that even are websites that offer awards for amateur films.
I think this is great. More and more people understand the importance of filmmaking for entertaining, culture and business and the work behind producing an independent film o a documentary.
Filmmaking must be rewarding and a fun experience, so look for this when you buy a new software.
Although most of the people are interested in trying to make their own movies, most of them do not know which software will provide the best results. I would like to give some guidelines of what have worked for me when filming and editing some of my projects.
To avoid frustrations of having a picture that may not upload due to the type of file it is, get a software that supports most media files and includes HD. They offers easy upload to such sites as Facebook and YouTube and they tend to be very user friendly software programs. CyberLink Power Director is an example of this program. I use it and it works fine.
When buying a software for making movies for less than $100 dollars take into consideration such features as multi cam editing, (to record and edit two video channel live and at the same time), and compatible on playback with PSP, IPods and other devises.
If you mainly want to create films for family and friends enjoyment, (this is a very good start in filmmaking), look for film making software ready to use out of the box that uploads the movie rather than burn it on DVD. This is important since most of the software in the market allows for importing images, adding music, create slide shows, split scenes, add background and more important features.
I have found Adobe to be a software fairly easy to use if you have some patience in learning. Your learning time would be a smart investment, since this software allows for complex editing, compatible with Blu Ray and DVD. It comes with a online library of templates and effects that is constantly being updated.
Regarding editing, look for a software that makes it easy to trim portions of film at the front, end or in the middle. You should add music to videos and you should even add audio voiceovers. Your movies or videos will look fantastic when to sharing them with others.
When shopping for the best video editing software for making movies, you'll want to find an application that offers a variety of useful editing tools, compatibility with many file formats, an easy-to-use interface and strong support options. Below is a breakdown of what we were looking for when we tested video editor software
My professional recommendation to amateurs is to take time to learn, not only the software, but first the fundamental of filmmaking before buying any software. If you don't know how you should film and edit properly, your software is not of much use.
A software for making movies is a tool to create what you have in mind; to record an event as it really happened: in color, in sound, in movement and transmitting the feeling of that moment.
You can't learn film making through a software, as many people try to do. Nowadays you can achieve anything you what in film making with a software
