Making Music Videos....

How can I go about making a music video? Say I have some video footage, what is the most efficient program for simple video editing and encoding for uploading to Youtube? My first EP release 'Deeply Rooted' is out on Rebirth Records (Italy) and getting some good feedback, so I wanted to make a video for at least one of the tracks.

Link to where we can hear a sample.

Sure. Its actually rather easy to find for another day or two. Just go to Beatport, click Genre and then Deep House, its the third release up top on the right, 'Daze Deten'. Beatport/Rebirth gave it some adspace

Dont know what type of music your into, but it might be worth checking out

Very interesting, don't usually listen to much like this, but it is very pleasant.

I would like proof that you made it to beatport.

Judging by your comments on this forum I would not believe it possible.

It's nothing to write home about.

Thanks mate! Now how do I get this video thing off the ground...

I thought we'd have a few video whizz kids here.

How about Sony Vegas or something? Is that what people primarily use?

I edit a lot of my Spanish Rock videos. I use Adobe Premiere & Final Cut Pro.

Do you use them together consequently, or just either or? Which one would be better to use for a noob to video production.

adobe aftereffects is perfect for this types of stuff

They're both very similar programs and at the end it comes down to personal preferences. If I have to choose one, I choose Premiere. It just works!!!

Final Cut is very picky. Also, with Premiere you can import Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Pretty much all of the Adobe apps. That's a HUGE plus for me. That way I do some of my graphics on Photoshop & Illustrator and bring them into Premiere without converting anything. Samething with Flash. I do my flash animations and bring them into Premiere.

As far as the interface goes, they're both very similar and work very similar. I remember reading that Final Cut was modeled after Premiere.

Here's a video edit I did.

[[ LINK REMOVED ]]


I swapped the audio from Rock into an Electo Remix of it. I also edited parts of the video and synced the vocals. I didn't do any special effects because I like to keep my videos as close to the originals as possible. There's some parts I would change, but for my intents and purposes it works.

Let me know if you need help! I can show you some video editing and you can show me production! hahahaha

I asked some related questions on the Cakewalk forums a few months ago and got some very good advice that you may find relevant:

Be sure to look over the whole thread to see some good advice regarding Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum near the bottom of the page. BTW, we never did get the video part of the show off the ground, but we still plan on doing some videos eventually, and I haven't yet bought any software, so I can't give you my opinions there.

Decent paths Woody and Cryophonik, ill check them out and figure how to go from there.

I could probably invest an equal amount of time and find a person that has an eye for video production to hook it through a mutual back scratch. But might be worth learning producing/directing on my own, could always come in handy.
