Activity Stream

Venue bookers want to see bands in venues. Staged performances don't give them the same confidence in the band. I have multitrack audio from the...

You are welcome. This is a good forum. Let us know how it works out.

This does not sell the band to me. The audio is not great the playing a little loose to say the least and as we're all aware the lighting less than...

Because I'm working on some clips in such a way that I'm creating multiple layers. I have a clunky 15 year old MAC with Final Cut Pro that I guess...

You will ALWAYS get a MUCH bigger file size exporting uncompressed files. It's only logical ! Your camera is recording videos in a COMPRESSED...

I can't thank you enough for your quality suggestion! I will look into this! Really appreciate your help. I also posted on facebook groups and...

If I understand correctly, seems that the 2 audio sources are now baked into the video's audio stream. You can't really separate them at this...

For clarity, I wasn't suggesting that in the 70's music videos were cut fast. I was saying that a few decades back, videos had comparatively...

Hm, I just took a look at The Last Waltz. Lots of 10-30 second shots, some moving, some fairly static.

Interesting. I don't have any 4k cameras so it would have to be done with 1920x1080 source. I've done zooms in post before but there is a loss, so I...

I'd like to say that I actually had less of a problem with the lighting situation, the noise in the zooms, etc. It's not great but for some reason it...

I think all of your suggestions would make a better video overall. But for selling a band to venue talent buyers it kind of is about just capturing...

Without wishing to sound harsh, neither does this video and neither is any video filmed live under these circumstances. As RL_Sensei has stated...

I see your point now. It's more about the technical aspect of video production itself and more on the editing side.

The band has its own studio where we can make a video under controlled conditions. There's even space for an audience of friendly invited guests....

How about using a particle effect? To get the variety in the width of the line vary the size of the particles or possibly the number. To get the...

Add the same circle as a second layer on top of the first that's just a little scaled up or has a little bit of a stroke or blur to it where you do...

I know how to animate the circle so that it draws itself, but is there a method to make the circle look like it's drawn from ink (uneven width, wider...

Tried posting a reply here a couple of times now but it won't seem to post! Anyway, thanks RL_Sensi for sharing the videos, they were really...

Thanks for the info BSG. Yeah, the conditions don't sound great. Seems to me the venue is mismanaged and probably not earning enough to justify...

There's a few ways but what I'd do and which is likely to be the easiest is: Find the illustration of a circle and use "write on" effect. You can...

Thanks for the insight, BSG. Even worse condidtions than I'd anticipated. This gives the band an idea of how they present themselves and (to a...

May I ask how can the ink-like circle be drawn as in the beginning of the video?

can be made in either. just apply a heavy blur and scale up to the beat while you keyframe the blur back to normal focus. All the graphic elements...

It was an open mic night with a bare bones crew already stretched to the limit of their capabilities and running behind schedule because of some...

Yeah, i'm hoping to get some more info as well regarding that gig. If it's a "come film a live performance for the first time here" type of thing,...
