lizbee: A sketch of myself (Default)
[personal profile] lizbee
I haven't completed a vid in aaaaages, but I have the urge. Of course, I vid rarely enough that every time I try, I find I've gone and changed operating systems, and have to start all over from scratch.

(Why isn't Sony Vegas available for Mac? It was such a NICE program. Then I found a site that said Kdenlive, the delightful Linux video editor I used a few times, was available for Mac ... and it is, but via some high-level workaround stuff. I just want to vid, dammit!

Anyway, my n00b level question -- when you real vidders talk about clipping, what do you mean? And what software do you use?

What I THINK you mean is that, before the vidding begins, you go through and cut out the clips you want to use, so you're not sitting there with ENTIRE EPISODES or ENTIRE MOVIES in your video editor when you're making the actual vid. Is that the case? Because it certainly seems like an easier way to go about it. But what software do you use if you're on a Mac? Or am I heading off in the wrong direction all together?

I would second all the recommendations for MPEG Streamclip. Clipping properly at the beginning pays huge dividends in terms of ease of editing, I've found.

Yeah, I have found that it helps me be much more analytical about the whole thing (which is helpful to me, obvs YMMV) and also much easier to realize when I don't have something clipped that I need to go back and clip again.
