learning how to make a video

in dtube •  6 years ago  (edited)


I've been putting this learning curve off forever thinking I was too brain challenged. Today I just did it. I got out my camera and googled how to, and I learned how to put my camera in record video mode. I took as my subject the closest thing nearby I could for the sake of the learning process (so don't judge). They are nice horses!

I hope to get better at posting to dtube by experimentation so that I can branch out and extend my posts. If it's not too dark, I'm hoping to take a bit of footage at the concert I'm attending next month!

I made one abortive attempt to edit the footage I had, but after the movie I made turned into pink squiggly lines, I tried another app. But that one wouldn't upload and I started to get really frustrated. Apparently what I needed to do was convert from a .mov file into mp4. something that isnt required with a phone video.

The whole process took me around 6 hours because of my incredible naivety. I never knew each video I uploaded in dtube automatically posted to steemit (as you might tell from my previous two posts). I need to figure out how to edit videos into one movie state before uploading to dtube.

I also never knew i needed to take snapshots for dtube, which is another little time waster that a phone does automatically with a little click. I will need to look into tripods and stablizers, or else suffer from shaky videos, and perhaps hone my video techniques.

This will take a lot more experimentation. Anyone who has advice feel free to shoot it my way!

Next I will experiment with my i-phone to see if cutting out half the steps makes the process more palatable, or if the quality lost by not using a camera is insurmountable.

I know some basics of video editing and I've done a few on my own but it's usually my partner hedac who does all the magic, today I may release a video entirely edited by my own and with my computer it was a challenge. My computer is not video editing friendly either.
Pd. I love horses (and chickens)
Learning is fun and open new possibilities!

yeah i need to research and find the easiest programs. some of them have all these twerking dials that are way above my comprehension... maybe i will try to video the goats and llamas!!

Cool video. Yea, It's a lot of learning , kind of like a maze. I guess we can all learn from each other though. That's pretty cool.

thanks so much for your help. i thought the process would be much simpler than it was. it's litterally taken me 6 hours from start to finish. but next time i know what to expect.
