Well we recorded on time, but it turns out that working on a start-up creates a priority list that impacts on extra-mural activities like posting podcasts. So apologies for the delay for this post.
This week we talk about video, for personal and business use, from capture to distribution. All you need to know (and probably a lot that you don’t) to select your equipment, thoughts about shooting and editing, and how to get it onto a computer or TV for people to enjoy.
Video has been one of my passions for the last 9 years or so. From MiniDV to AVCHD and everything in-between, I’ve produced videos for training, proposals, enterprise clients like HP and Vodafone, church, and of course family. From vox-pop videos on my phone, to interactive stories on stage. There’s a couple of really basic tips that will change your video to looking professional rather than looking like a home video. We’ll cover these.
If you listen to people speak, you’d be mistaken to believe that you have to have a Mac to produce video. You’d be wrong. Although Final Cut Pro on the Mac is widely used in commercial circles, so is Adobe Premiere (now in CS4) and Sony Vegas Platinum Pro. Premiere has versions for both the Mac and the PC. Vegas is only available on PC. The truth is, most people will be using a Consumer or Prosumer product (not having budgets that stretch to >$1000 just for software), and in this price range there is more choice on the PC platform than the Mac.
Of course if you’re like most people, your computer won’t be a dedicated video production facility, but likely used for more tasks. In fact chances are that you’ll be connecting to business systems. With this in mind, the PC platform provides the most versatility, not to mention value for money – especially now with Windows 7. So don’t agree to feel like a 2nd class citizen because you produce video on a PC. The computer, like the camera, the software, and the lights are just tools. Learn how to use them well, and have fun producing video.

I would also like to acknowledge this week’s tune “Slowly Divide” by Powderburn. Note, I did speed up the track a bit.
Enjoy, and see you on the flipside…
