OFF TOPIC / Video creating....editing...whatnot / advice needed

« on: November 29, 2012, 03:09:52 PM »

Blimey I think this is the first post I've made, instead of just hijacking others' 

Got myself on a product video making idea, but to be honest...it's one of the few things I haven't got a single clue about!
I have the ability to record to mp4, avi, 3gp or what have you, so that's not a problem. The problem is getting this sort of thing done, just simple stuff, no fancy effects:

1) getting a music track (that isnt illegal) and using it on a vid - I'm not into the "uh...HERROW...this is my nerd voice" approach to youtube videos lol
2) subtitles / titles / text narration???
3) just...general cut/editing

I know a few names of software but really...what's the easiest way to get something done? For free would be a bonus, or at least nominal cost, as opposed to adobe's joke prices.

Any hints/clues welcomed [and possibly heckled  ]

Cheers!

OFF TOPIC / fantastic shmup I have found

unfortunate name, but highly recommend downloading the demo, it's very reminiscent of some of the most insane shmups on the dreamcast etc. Written by one guy? Genius. 

I think I might have to fork out the 7 quid to buy this one, since I've practically worn out the demo

OFF TOPIC / To anyone who's had trouble with viruses on ebay this weekend...

« on: March 02, 2011, 12:13:13 PM »

Basically there's been a problem this weekend with ads on ebay. It's not actually ebay that's been compromised, and to be objective, it's also affected a number of other sites that use the same adverts.

Here's the article

Check your Antivirus, although as far as I'm aware - you'll know if you have it, it's called "system tool virus" and it pretty much locks you out until you cough up $20. Ingenious!
