Videomaker Magazine

Welcome to Videomaker, the premiere magazine for professional and hobbyist videography! Videomaker Magazine was founded in 1986, shortly after the very first personal camcorders hit the market. Since then, we've been helping creative people make better video by providing the latest news in video trends, training and technology. As camcorders have gone from unwieldy behemoths retailing for small fortunes to palm-sized cameras affordable to anyone, Videomaker has kept pace with changing times. From reviews of the newest video-making hardware and software to practical how-to guides on putting together your own documentary or horror film, you'll find everything you need to make quality video within our pages.
