Inspired Editing – CHIFCPUG Presentation Video

February 6th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Have you ever been fear stuck while looking at an empty timeline, with no idea where to start? Are you sometimes creatively challenged and questioning your career choice? Have you ever wanted to learn how to fly a plane? If you answered yes to the first two questions, this post is for you. I can’t help with the third one.

Last week I did a presentation a the Chicago Final Cut Pro User Group (aka CHIFCPUG) that I titled “Inspired Editing”. Overall I think it was well received so I wanted to post the video of that presentation here for those who may have missed it.

This presentation not only gives you good tips and trick on where you might find inspiration and ideas for your projects, but walks you through a promo/pre-roll trailer that was created for a large DVD project. From starting with an empty timeline to the final version, you’ll see how the trailer was created and what the thought process was. There are also some tips for using Google Earth in your project.

Your feedback is always welcome so shoot me an email or post a comment on the blog if the mood moves you.
