A typical PC or laptop configuration doesn’t really offer much when it comes to professional video editing. But if you compare computers released several years back, modern PCs actually offer more. Both Apple and Microsoft offer their own free video editing utilities so people can create simple things like slideshows without the need for consulting a video production company. Practicing with these free tools is nice because they allow you to exercise your creativity. Even though these utilities offer far less functionality and features compared to the professional video editing tools that a video production company would use, the limitations of the basic tools should encourage passionate and aspiring video editors to make use of the features available and make something nice.
Creativity is very important when it comes to professional video editing just like creativity is so important for content writing and graphics design. When it comes to advertising, every video should tell some kind of story or at least deliver a clear message while establishing a unique identity. There are tons of companies out there showing off all kinds of commercials with unique concepts and executions and blatantly copying these ideas may give consumers the wrong impression of your brand.
Working on multiple projects can really take your creativity to places. As you continue with video editing and production with these basic utilities, you will realize later on that these tools are holding you down and you may need to either go hands on with the more professional video editing tools or work for a video production company. This is where the technology comes to play and it refers to all the software and hardware that can really expand video production possibilities. Multicore desktop systems with desktop GPUs can speed up tasks like encoding and handle higher resolution content. This type of hardware is necessary if you want to create videos that are designed to be viewed in high-definition displays. On the software end, advanced professional video editing applications give you more control of post-production if you need to do things like enhance the look of your video, mix other videos or add graphic overlays and sophisticated filters. Some of the applications may even serve as a gateway to computer animation so you can incorporate those skills to your future projects.
Joining a video production company can give you access to these tools and you won’t have to pay for the expensive licenses to use these professional applications. Hiring a video production company is definitely going to cost you but it should be nowhere near the price of the programs these companies rely on.
Technology is designed to make professional video editing easier and more accessible but it will never be a true replacement to creativity. This is why it is still very important to start with the basics to brush up your creativity so you have plenty of ideas in place when you finally get a chance to use the tools or services that real professionals use.
