Post Your Videos Made With EDIUS

Kurt - I envy your being amongst such beauty. My wife Sondra (Sam) and I have boated the canals of Europe for 26 years - in our own rented canal boats - just the two of us. We've covered all 17 canals and navigable rivers in France, and many in Belgium, The Netherlands, England and Italy, and each has had it's own special beauty. I've filmed over 300 churches in that time, and love the history and beauty displayed in each of them - all different. Even the oftentimes tiny small town churches have their own mystical charm and stories to tell. But you know this better than I.

Thanks for the come-back, and for your comments. Much appreciated.
Best always,
Alan
PS - Curiosity has me......where is WN in Austria. We often travel to Oberstauffen, Germany - near the Austrian border.

Hi Alan:
1) 300 churches - that's a remarkable number!
I don't know how many churches there are in all of Europe, but probably a little more than 300 ;-) - I think you still will find enough interesting objects to film in the next years.

2) WN means "Wiener Neustadt", a city with 45,000 inhabitants, located 50 kilometres south of Vienna/Danube. However, it is not possible to reach WN by boat :-(, only by train or via the southern highway. But we have two interesting "buildings" here:
- A more than 800 years old Romanesque cathedral and
- the oldest military academy in the world (in a row with Sandhurst (GB), Saint Cyr (France) and West Point). Some students from the latter military academies complete their military training here every year (and some Austrians study, for example, in West Point: Our world has become small). In the military academy there is our second (military-) St.Georg-cathedral, small but of historical interest.

Kurt - that's a remarkable Cathedral, inside and out. Took a good look at it with Google earth. Very Romanesque, as you say - quite void of rococo ornamentation - actually quite plain and beautiful. And the 2 sturdy exterior towers are quite impressive. Perhaps some day we'll get there. Each church and cathedral having such diverse and yet fascinating features.

Interesting history: In Budapest (which I did not know anything about until we got there) is the second largest Synagogue in the world (New York being the largest), and it's gorgeous and unique. For in order to make the Christians feel as though the Jews who moved in and built their Synagogue were coming in to "be a part of the town", meld in and show their love of the Christian city, they designed the Synagogue to be built in the style of the churches and Cathedrals in Pest. It's a gorgeous piece of work both inside and out.

Enough - it's almost midnight here!
Have a great rest of the week.

Alan & Mark, I really enjoyed these films. Job well done guys!

[AJL14]

Great heavens, Mark. Such gorgeous photography. The colors are breath-taking, and love your choice of music. Can't wait to step up to 4K myself - although the GH4/5 doesn't suit my shooting style, but it sure does yours.
Beautiful work.
Alan

Thanks Barry and Alan, that means a lot. I feel moving up to 4K has really helped me step up my game.

Thanks Barry and Alan, that means a lot. I feel moving up to 4K has really helped me step up my game.

Your talent and eye for timing is obvious. It is almost wasted on HD. It is a main reason why I wanted to see your stuff in 4K so badly (and why I always beg to see the original in all of its glory :-) )

[mark williams]

Pat, thanks for the compliment. I am spoiled now shooting 4k and doubt I will ever go back to HD. Having the GH5 and being able to shoot 60fps 4K is where I want to be. The GH5 is a beast and has so many features, many of which I will probably never use. Others will find it invaluable in getting the look that they want. It is a whole lot of camera.

I wonder what the Wedding will be like :)

One video I made two weeks ago with Edius 8 Pro :



It's a new Youtube Channel, where I introduce products and unbox them in a filmic way, with a lot of care for narration and music.

This channel doesn't make money, so I can't buy Edius 9.
But if it changes, I will.

Very nice Alex. Are the zooms done in post?

Here's a quick one shot unboxing that's recorded UHD and post zoomed in a 1080 project.

[frenshprince]

Yes, Pan and Zoom are always done in post.

But I bought a cheap slider for my last video, and it brings a lot.

Very nice, Alex. I can't understand the dialogue but it sounds great. How do you record the audio and what microphone do you use? BTW. What camera are you using? It has a very fast auto focus on the rostrum shots and the quality is also great.

Cheers,
Dave.

[frenshprince]

Thanks Dave :)

The microphone is a Rode NT usb which sounds great, but I'm disapointed with pop filter. I record the audio first in Audition, then I do a lot of retake in Edius.
And when I'm happy about edit and the new retake, I make a complete new record in Audition.

The camera is a Sony a6300, and yes, it's autofocus is excellent.
Almost as good as the DualPixel from Canon camcorder.

For most of the edit, I use Edius, but I did some videos with Davinci Resolve.
Which is perfect in some areas (color, fx, transform), but awful in its Edit part. And not really ergonomic.

I'm planning to make a feedback in the lounge, about my year with Davinci Resolve.

Hi Alex.

I'll look out for your Resolve feedback when you post it in the lounge. Although, from what you are saying it doesn't sound too good as an editor.

Have you tried recording your dialogue live with the shots? I'm not familiar with your camera, although I have to say the picture looks great and the autofocus is very good, does it have a microphone input? If so, take a look at the Saramonic SmartRig microphone pre-amp. It's a great mic preamp and can also send phantom power for condenser mics.

I only suggest this in case it helps to turn round your production time. I use one with a number of mics and it really helps to speed up capture as I don't like using external audio recorders if I don't need to. I also sometimes use the SmartRig and camera to record dialogue only, the quality is very good. Here's an example of one of the mics I use for voice over when recording my videos, it's being powered and preamplified by the Smartrig and recorded by the camera.



Here's the same mic with my Sony AX100 recording a 'how to' guide. Recording live with the video, if it's appropriate for the production, really speeds up turnaround.



And here's an example of my use of UHD in a 1080 project using Layouter. My unboxings are done really quick, nowhere near as good as yours. Because my footage and dialogue are shot so fast, there's usually a lot of problems which is why I shoot UHD and massively use Layouter. If I'm really bad, like in this video, I'll even rotate the shots. If my channel starts making money, I'll take more care with the capturing and spend longer in the edit. But for now, I try to fix it in the mix, which is totally wrong :) but it does save me time for the quick turnaround stuff.



Cheers,
Dave.
