[videoblogging] Re: How Much Time Do You Spend Editing?

2006-04-07 Thread hpbatman7
It varies with me, it depends on what I am vlogging, this bit I 
did, Magic Eight Ball, I filmed and edited in under an hour, but I 
had a really good idea in my head of how I wanted the finished 
video to look, the filming probably took about 20 minutes total (with 
a couple of reshoots) and the editing about 30 minutes (which 
includes the time to import the video into my program)  I use Sony 
Vegas (the lite version, it cost me about 60 bucks)  You can see 
that video here. http://blip.tv/file/get/BatmanGeek-
MagicEightBall238.mov

This one took a bit longer because I went over to a friends house to 
have some fun and to just show geeks as they are, I probably took 
about 45 minutes of footage or so, ( I was there longer) and it did 
take me about 30 minutes to edit (not including the time to import 
the video) because I had more footage to go through...you can 
check it out here http://blip.tv/file/get/BatmanGeek-GeekDay587.mov


I am learning NOT to film everything that makes editing a lot easier, 
at least when you are doing a bit but that gets harder when you are 
just videoing for the heck of it and then decide to make it a 
vlog..I have found though don't be afraid to edit, as long as 
the meat is there they will get it.

btw I am still learning my way around with Vegas but I really like 
it.

 Hello Vloggers,
 
 I'm curious about how much times folks spend editing and what 
programs they
 use? Also how often do you vlog, as that impacts time available to 
edit?
 
 I'm using Adobe Premiere and my editing skills are extremely 
undeveloped
 (dare I say, they suck!). Anyway, I would love for folks to reply 
to this
 post by linking directly to a video or two and telling how long it 
took them
 to film and edit each video, and what editing software they are 
using. And,
 how often they vlog.  I'm trying to get an idea of what I should be 
shooting
 for.
 
 The Adobe Premiere help files are pretty good, but I'm still 
missing alot of
 the power of the program. Do you know of any good online/interactive
 tutorials?
 
 I have three vlogs and I'm trying to decide how to approach them:
 1. VlogDiva - I would like to post weekly there. My favorite entry 
is
 'Characteristics of Bad Website Design', but believe it or not it 
took me a
 long time to edit that video. So I'm starting to think that I'm 
just going
 to read from a prompter. I spend so much time writing the script 
that I dont
 want to have to spend a bunch of time memorizing and editing to.
 
 2. VlogChallenge - That one is easy because all I'm going to do is 
film
 myself announcing a challenge. But if I can get enough participants 
each
 week I would also like to make a remix of all entries for a given 
challenge.
 
 3. ShopSWFL - This regional community site has a ton of back end
 functionality, but no content and is basically a shell right now. 
But once I
 launch in a few weeks I would like to start doing a daily vlog 
where I film
 people and places in and around SWFL for two to four minutes.  I'm 
curious
 to see if anyone else is doing this - I would like to see how they 
are doing
 it, what the quality is, etc.

I edit in Final Cut Pro and I have spent as little as an hour and as 
much as 10 or 15 hours over a few days editing. The live music 
pieces I post are ussually pretty quick edits (ussually about an 
hour). And the documentary pieces I've done take much longer. Just 
look under the categories on my site for examples.

It depends on how many cuts, titles and special effects you have on
your show.  When I was making a ten-minute weekly show, it took me
anywhere from 10-14 hours to edit.  Last night's vlog entry only took
about 2 hours (and most of that time was spent re-watching the video
just because I was laughing so hard!  Had I stuck to the work at hand,
I would have been done in less than an hour.)

 I have three vlogs and I'm trying to decide how to approach them:

You've probable thought of this already, but my advice (especially
since you're making multiple shows) is to make a template that
includes all the titles and effects that you will reuse on each post.
 That will take away SOME of the editing burden...
