Chris does good work...

I must say that this one sentence contains more new words for me than any other sentence I have ever read.

Thank you glad I taught you something...:1orglaugh

Redshoe is the icon of editing.

Redshoe?

oh ok I see lol

I have gotton samples ready now if you need to check em out click on the samples in my sig ......:thumbsup

like.....yikes

Hey the quality on my work only depends on the quality of the vid that I edit if its poor quality ya cant make the vid be better quality...

Incorrect. You can take shit and polish it to a very high finish... it all depends on how you do it. Most major motion pictures have trailers much better than the actual movie.

Everyone is different on what they need done and how they want it done. As every video editor is different on how they do their editing ya know I mean their are good editors and bad ones. I am not saying I am the best but the people I done vids for say I am pretty good. Just ask Escortbiz I only did easy editing for him but if he wanted better I am sure he would of told me but he seemed to love my work and if anyone else wants my services I am available any time so click my sig for my contact info......:thumbsup

See I usually like to make my client's happy I will go above and beyond to make them happy even if it is very time consuming ya know.

pinnicle, i am sure thats a golf club. but he got me on the others too. :winkwink:

Hey I learned something new today...:1orglaugh

good look on it

Thank you man...:winkwink:

As someone who liberally uses the "..." it's funny that you BOTH use it to end your sentences. :winkwink:

Isn't it lol....

Hi Chris - okay, I checked your two samples. My critique follows...

First, it might be useful to have a before and after clip if you did color correction or otherwise did anything to the source footage aside from making cuts and compressing the video.

Sample One: Having the lightstand in the background is just plain tacky and makes a bad first impression. The person shooting shouldn't have shot it in the first place, but as editor you should have cropped it out, or not used that segment at all.

The jump cuts near the end when the girl is using the vibrator are jarring. A simple cross-dissolve or better cuts would improve that.

The audio has too much hiss, and at one point you can hear some guy's voice cut-off, which is not good at all (his voice shouldn't be on there period). Also, the tripod sound is annoying (especially while the performer is rubbing her cookie).

Sample Two: What is the point of those transitions?!? Transitions should be used sparingly, if at all. In this instance, they don't add anything, and actually take away from the scene.

Good luck, however I seriously recommend that you come up with some better samples.

:2 cents:

ADG Webmaster

Yes, true thank you for the advice. I will take that into consideration. These are just videos I have had for a little while that my brother in law allowed me to use for samples because people wont want me to use their samples. But I definetly will take your advice into consideration, thank you..

You crack me the fuck up....:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Tell me about it:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Any smart-creative guy with the right software can edit videos.

Now that peple are back from pheonix forum, giving my thread a good old bump..

Experience is key - bump!

Got that right... I am creative, have the right softare... And I have not a clue :1orglaugh

great great editor

LOL, Chris are you for real, man? Those are not good examples of editing work that are going to get you any jobs. Everything ADG said was right and that isn't even the half of it.

I will take all the criticism I can get as long as it is to help me get better at video editing. Thanks Jim_Gunn... I mean the clients I have had so far is very happy with the editing I have done for them, but yes I do need to practice as I have been and gettin better everytime...:thumbsup

I also know in this business I learn something nes everyday but thats what I am about. I love to take advice from anybody who can help make me succeed in the video editing business. I do it for the money but I enjoy editing on a higher level...:)

Okay, but this trailer is starting from a really bad place. Your homework is to go re-edit that trailer and use some alternate clips and fix everything ADG said, plus delete the split second of a videoo clip that remains in there after the voice that you have too delete. And while you are at it lose all those stupid transitions, (just use jump cuts between clips of different angles or simply use a cross-dissolve, nothing else) , encode it to a slightly higher video bitrate (it's too crappy looking), maybe sharpen the video just a little bit and maybe increase the color saturation. And consider adding some kind of image maybe a logo with with a url to the beginning and end that identifies what this trailer of for. And audio wise- maybe mix in some appropriate music mixed down low or ambient sound effects that works.

Will do, thanks...:upsidedow

Nice attitude bro :thumbsup

No offense bro, I don't know you or John Clark (since it seems like people are calling you the same person, I don't know either of you) but this one sentence is what's wrong with our industry. You said your clients, which implies people have paid you. Then in the same sentence you say 'yes I do need practice'.

I got out of the video editing game a long time ago, partly because people like you that don't know how to edit and need more practice make a few trailers then offer your services and try to compete with people that do this for a living. You undercut jobs and turn out substandard work.

In your defense I didn't even bother watching your trailers I just gathered my research by reading the negative feedback left by people that may have actually watched them.

If you like editing as much as you say then practice on your own dime.If you really like it practice by shooting your own shit and editing it. I used to practice by filming trees and bushes and shit in my own back yard and just editing it to music.

Practice, get better. Showcase your work here and the clients will seek you out instead of you seeking them out.

He does, whenever he does not have work to do for others... And he gets better everyday :2 cents:

or you could hire a professional who won't use your videos as practicing tools. Golden rule people shouldn't break....pay cheep...pay twice. Sure a professional may be a little more money, but you're saving in the long end, and the quality is what you're getting with a pro.
