By rapidly changing cameras, cropping some upper clips and later adding a main video below the changes of the cameras. I'm not completely sure, but now I have a deep curiosity to test it out. Still, like doublehamm mentioned, if you want more control you need time and lots of patience. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/quick-cuts-in-music-videos#post-72500 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:02:21 +0000 doublehamm 72500@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Well, if you wanted something automated, Pinnacle Studio has a feature that allows you to add some footage, then add music and then the program will analyze the music and create a music video for you.  Different styles are available, and even a style that would have all sorts of super fast cuts.  The downside is you have no control of exactly what each clip shows - but then again if you wanted that control you would take your time with patience and work it out!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/quick-cuts-in-music-videos#post-72492 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:41:09 +0000 DaShon 72492@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://youtu.be/cimoNqiulUE">http://youtu.be/cimoNqiulUE</a> - Drake - Headline</p> <p>Using this as an example. I want to find an easier way to do the quick cuts that you would see in videos like this. Where there are lots of quick half second or less clips. I asked this in another forum but was told that there is no easy way of doing this. That it just takes a lot of time and patience. Wanted to double check to see if there is a plugin or a tutorial or anything to make the process easier?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-the-meaning-of-lyrics#post-71511 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 03:49:59 +0000 Jess94 71511@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I need to know as i am making a music video for it, but to be able to create the video I need to understand the main way that people will interpret this song.

To get a reasonable amount of the potential of a DSLR's video capacity you're going to need more than just a camera. Two good prime lenses (or a fast zoom), A mattebox w/rails (or at the least a good lens hood. A filter kit w/ a UV haze, a couple of ND's (2 &amp; 4) and maybe a polarizer, a decent tripod (no wal-mart specials) with at least a ball-head mount, extra batteries (at minimum 4 extra), camera bag (that will hold most of your accessories), Fast CF or SD Flash media cards (class 4 or better, 8GB or larger capacity. *Note; smaller cards mean you'll need more to keep up with shooting) and a secondary viewfinder if not a small camera mountable monitor. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dslr-cameras-that-has-the-best-video-quality#post-70862 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 05:38:29 +0000 grinner 70862@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> surf ebay for a 5D mII</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dslr-cameras-that-has-the-best-video-quality#post-70859 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:56:48 +0000 adeoye 70859@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hello,am a musician also a film editor i need a dslr camera with the best video quality specially for music video within this price rage $2000.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/music-video-shot-with-canon-5d-mark-ii#post-70817 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:44:49 +0000 David Forrester 70817@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Very well done.
