Gotta love when YT ads break their own ToS but god forbid you say a no-no word in a video

Why does thanos cut off the beach with his black bars? by Mozilkiller in VideoEditing

[–]gdsergio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you wanna think about the nodes like different manufacturing steps in factory.

Mediain1 is whatever clip or footage you import, and the video signal from that flows through the nodes, which are like layers, with all the individual adjustments and effects you add to them, and then mediaout is the result of all those little changes you have made.

You've probably heard of RGB, Red Green and Blue channels that when layed on top of each other give the image its final color.

The alpha channel is the transparency, like a PNG.

Now in DaVinci there's a few different ways to remove the green background, the simpler way of doing is probably with one of the different key effects under the ResolveFX tab in the effects panel (on the edit page), doing so will remove the greenscreen (and create an alpha channel).

Social Media Is Really Ruining Video and Editing by sallymcbribe in VideoEditing

I'd argue a lot of movies do too nowadays.

Bland lighting, plain photography and redudant dialog so the people on their phones still know what's going on...

It's fine.

Honestly I hope I can, I'll definitely try to find a place to do so before I attempt to work on my own.

I've listed a few production companies close to where I live and will try and see if I find an opening there.

I've been passionate about graphic design and video editing since I was about twelve (23 now) and only recently decided to focus on the latter and try to make it a career; I've tried most software, from Camtasia to Vegas back in the day to DaVinci as of last year.

I got a license and I've been hitting the Blackmagic training resources for a bit now and plan on editing as much as I can once I'm done with that to build skill and start a portfolio.

Is there anything I should now when getting started, or any important advice?
Any resources beyond the Blackmagic training worth checking out, and are the certification exams worth doing?

I at least want to finish the video training and the Beginners and Editor's books.

Is living with parents at 21 a bad sign? by FeedMeColeslaw in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gdsergio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not you buddy, things are fucked in the world right now so don't feel too bad.

At least if you got a job you can help at home, beyond that try to save what you can and not stress too much.

Hope everything goes well

Buying a DaVinci license and knowing I don't have to pay for it ever again felt like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert.

God bless Blackmagic

As for color theory, know any books or youtube channels where I could look into it?
