Video Editing Tools

Over my time here I have learned a bit about editing, as I am enrolled in the FMA major. Some of my favorite films to make are experimental, and I have picked up some cool techniques along the way. My favorite aspect of film to play with is color, and there are a lot of easy ways to manipulate color. For a general edit, I find that Adobe Premiere Pro has a good software, but if I want to spend a lot of time on color I would recommend Davinci Resolve. The color correcting is a lot more tuned on that program. Another one of my favorite effects is Chroma Key. If you plan ahead of time for osmething in your shot to be a solid color, you can use Chroma Key to replace whatever is that color in the image with something else. I have made plenty of cool shots layering effects over different images. If you are looking for free music, I recommend freemusicarchive.org, as you can search for free tracks by genre. I have found many background tracks this way. I am also looking to make my own music for film in Logic Pro X, but if you want a free version I recommend GarageBand.
