Congratulations so you have decided you want to make videos!
Alright first of all what any person who asteems to make videos of any form to be on the internet needs is a computer.
Yes, that is a duh isn't it? Well First of all you have a computer and you either download a video making program and or if your computer has software already installed for it,you use that program. Simple right?
(Windows Xp and lower have programs already installed for video or movie making. Windows Me or above does not as far as I know have it installed when you get your windows program.)
For myself I use a program called Windows Live Movie maker. Since I use Windows 7 ultimate,I had to download a program to make videos with. The following is a link to the video maker which is a free download from microsoft.
Windows Live Movie Maker
Basically it's a good simple movie or video maker and if you run windows beyond windows xp then this is what they give you. I personally feel it is adequate,yet I really miss the movie maker from windows Xp due to it allows you to scroll text while windows live movie maker does not. But it is a good and simple program to use.
Plus it's free to use so that right there is a big advantage if you are a college or student of any age and or is watching your budget like I am.
You need a concept, a video and something to edit with. In the most basic sense, that’s it. You can go beyond that depending on what you’re doing. For what I do, the pictures as well as the words speak for themselves literally.
Audio is also important,however for myself as Youtube has rules *Eye roll* Certain music is not allowed and therefore it is not always accepted in videos. In short i have come to the decision to not use audio in videos anymore.
That is my decision based on the fact wehenever i use audio in my projects it seems that some country is not allowed certain music. It sadly gets blocked in that country my video and that makes me upset that someone for example in Germany can't watch a video because i put in a song that was copyrighted. Now Youtube has their own music but honestly in my oppinion their choices suck and doesn't exactly flow with the atmosphere I try to protray.
Anyways sorry back on the topic. Video making. Well I am going to go through the steps here on how to make videos. I am going to show you how I do it. this is my way.There are other people's ways but this is how I Alexa do it.
I can tell you I like making videos. I know that what I do entertains people and makes people smile. That makes me happy. I know at times I also get people who hate what I am doing. For those I have learned to just say thank you and let it go. You as a video maker are making videos for other people as well as your own enjoyment. So take bad critisim with a grain of salt and learn from what is said. All comments in my oppinion is a way to learn to improve.
My first videos well I can say they sucked ass. Literally I look back (Or used to before my other account was deleted) and i found myself wondering how I did so horribly!! But it takes time and effort to do better. So for all those people out there who say.. i can't do it! This is crappy! etc.. You can do it. just you need to practice! Lots of patience and practice!!
Alright so this is the intro. I am going to show you the steps how to create videos and I invite anyone to comment and or follow along if they wish. It's all very basic and i hope i can explain it easily. i normally now a days just go into doing so and not think about it.
Happy Video making!!! Blessed Be! <3 Alexa
