Digital Video Editing and Production Anyone Interested

[tiki-tiki]

Yo!

Many of us do have digital video camera and does anyone here is engaged in video making via personal computer? Does anyone here knows if there is English speaking digital video makers club in Japan? If none, is anyone out here interested to form digital video making club for Filipinos in Japan to help people who are interested to learn and fulfill their dream to become video/film maker?

I have digital (non-linear) video editing gear and basic digital video making training to share with everyone if such digital video makers club will be formed.

Just post your reply.

Yo!

Yo!

Yes yes yo! Dehins bagay sa akin. hehe.
I'm not aware of any english pro groups - but I am also into compositing and a bunch of other stuff ... I think they also conduct such workshops for seniors in the building where I work...

Malapit lang pala kami sa inyo... Looking forward to your films.

Welcome to TF tiki-tiki,

Paki-'video' muna ang Timog Rules (http://www.timog.com/forum/showthread.php?t=365&page=6) para mas masaya;)

BTW, eto pala ang SKIP City (http://www.skipcity.jp/) just in case you don't know.

Yoroshiku, Yo!

Tiki-tiki, V_Wrangler, gawa tayo ng workshop. I am interested to join the club. I do video-editing too. Thanks.

[Firipinjin]

madali lang mag-video edit using iLife sa Mac. Post ninyo yung sample videos sa youtube.com para naman ma-appreciate namin yung artistic talents ninyo.

Thanks Crispee! Yep Firipinjin, unfortunately I am not a mac user so I do not know this app. Tonyang, that sounds cool, sali tayo sa group ni Tikz.

[Tonyang]

Aba may AV room ang Skip City. Mukhang cool ito.

Ok V_Wrangler, sali tayo sa grupo nina Tikitiki.

Tikitiki, anong first activity?

[Lapu_lapu]

Tanong ko lang sa lahat ng mahihilig sa Video Editing. Yung system ko po ay WinXP, PIII, at 256MB mem at may PCI slots. Ano ba ang kailangan para makagawa ako ng sariling personal video document na parang movie din ang dating na may caption, music, animation at iba pa, pero gawa lang ng PC ko? Anong speed dapat sa system ko para naman hindi mabagal during processing ?at anong settings dapat i set para maganda ang resolution?

salamat po...

Ok na yang system mo pero lagyan mo ng PCI firewire (1319) na mabibili mo sa mga computer shops. Pero teka, ano ba ang video camera mo? Digital video recorder na ba o still on Hi8 video format. Ang firewire kasi ay para sa digital cameras. Kung Hi8, or RCA type ang tawag na output hanap ka na lang sa comp shop ng available. But to remind you maraming hassles sa setup.

You also need video capturing software and video editing software.

Don't worry kung assemble lang ang comp unit me kasi gawa ko rin lang ang gamit kong computer.

Why not upgrade to Pentium 4 since mura na naman ang mga computer parts.

Since were not talking about a MAC here (tutot ito - macs makes it simpler, di ba Paul? :) ), I'd like to add from what Tiks wrote above:

HARDWARE:

Just to add. Since medyo luma na rin ang system mo, you need to have lots of memory. I can't say a minimum but it doesnt hurt to have at least 2 GIGs of RAM. Editing and compositing is a memory hog so a fast machine is always advisable. You also need a lot of harddisk space as captured footages sometimes amount to hundreds of megabytes per second. You'd need a firewire card as Tiki mentioned (they're cheap usually in the range of 1-2 thousand yen). You use the firewire to a connect your digital video camera to the pc, to capture footages as well to dump your outputs back to dv or whatever format you want them. If your source is analog, (Hi8 or VHS), *you'd need an extra equipment called a DV Converter. What it does - it converts the analog signal (Hi8/VHS) to digital or DV so it still plugs into the firewire and into something your pc could read.

SOFTWARE:

You'd need software to be able to make the hardware stuff work, to capture and dump the final output to tape (if thats your choice). There are commercial ones (you buy) like ADOBE PREMIERE, AFter Effects, etc but there are also freebies available in the internet.

*______________
you can actually do away with a dv converter if the dv camera model allows analog connection (the red, yellow, black cables) to the analog source (Hi8, vhs deck etc). So if you are able to dub the analog video to dv then it would be fine. What the dv convertion process tries to avoid is losing resolution. Analog video is a lossy signal so once you dub it - you lose detail in the resulting dub. The beauty of going digital is that you don't normally lose quality. A digital copy is exactly like it is - an exact copy. (Depending on the compression applied of course)

I made a documentary of the 10th year anniversary of one office in Tokyo about their work on Japanese-Filipino children. Ang ginamit ko ay yung four years ago ko pa inasembol CPU na AMD-Athlon 1.2 Ghz, 512 RAM, on AOpen motherboard with built-in firewire and soundcard. Ang software ko na binili sa Monumento, Caloocan, ay Adobe Premiere 6.0. I used DV format home video camera sa shooting.

Eniweys when I tried to make this are all for experimental purposes with the aim of literally producing video documentary using non-pro equipment on shoe string budget. The office who comissioned me to do the work is well satisfied and in-fact they are selling the video as part of their fund raising.

If you want to see the result of a video made as described above just send me your postal address at papadalhan ko kayo ng 25 minutes video, Songs and Photographs of Japanese-Filipino childrena and their mother in VCD format. Kung makakatulong to see sa aktwal ang unit used all are welcome to visit my shop at Shinjuku-ku.

Four years ago nga pala the whole CPU unit minus monitor na inasembol ko, worth of spare parts only, ay 58,000 yen. Dagdag ka na lang ng konti Pentium 4 na ang maaasembol at present.

salamat sa mga reply nyo mga 'tol. Actually, yung digital camera ko ay may tatlong klaseng output jack( USB, Firewire, at ?-nakalimutan ko yung pangalan).. Sinubukan kung gamitin yung USB kasi may kasama syang software for video editing. Alam nyo suuuuppppper bagal nang sinubukan ko. Talagang mahina. kahit man lang sa pag play ng .mpeg file na 600MB, talagang aabotin ka ng oras sa pag load lang. Kaya sabi ng mga kaibigan ko, palitan ko nalang daw yung system ko to SCSI.. Kaso lang, masasayang na naman yung existing system ko.


e kung sakaling papalitan ko naman yung system ko to P4 system, maganda ba yung resolution ng output?. Kasi, na notice ko kapag pini play mo lang sa PC ok lang walang problema. pero after na burn mo to DVD or CD. Then pag piniplay mo na sa DVD player connected to your TV , hindi talaga maganda ang resolution. Halatang gawa sa PC lang..

salamat ..

Most probably, your machine does not support USB 2. SCSI is not even the answer. If you upgrade to newer machines, I'm sure the response would be a lot faster as they natively support USB 2 (which is a lot faster when it comes to data transfers)

Hindi ko nakuha ang ibig mong sabihin sa gawang pc lamang. Anyways - the quality of the output isnt in the machine, well yes but not really totally, it depends on a lot of factors like size, and on the compression used. The Higher the compression, the lesser the filesize, the lower the quality becomes. Lesser Compression results to bigger file size but good resolution. Choosing the right balance is an art in itself so there is no clear definition as to what compression format or level would be appropriate.


TikiTiki , saan shop mo and what do you do?

Ang ibig kung sabihin na may gumagawa ng video(example wedding video) na gawa from video edting console. Separate sya sa computer at talagang maraming control. Parang luma ang dating pero sulit ang resolutiuon.Hindi sila gumagamit ng computer as a main component. Yung computer pang caption lang, at sound mixer or enhancer lang. Medyo may kamahalan kasi maraming component ang kailangan para maka buo ka ng system. Hindi katulad ng PC, na ang kailangan mo lang ay software at yung PC Video Card editing lang. Pero and disadvntages lang pag Pc, kailangan mo din ng mabilis na system..

Wrangler, balak ko sanang i edit yung wedding video ng kapatid ko. Gusto ko pa naman sanang dagdagan ng mga caption, at background music , or mga effects, na parang gawa ng professional. Sana po may ma isuggest ka dito sa tanong ko..

salamat uli at sa lahat ng mga ka TF.

Christian missionary ako Wrangler at on communication at information na aligned sa World Association of Christian Association ang isa sa mga line of work na dapat kong i-accomplish thus naghahanap ako ng mga interested sa digital video making. Sa Shinjuku near Takadanobaba ang aking opis.

Actually ang hinahanap ko ay mga pipol who are interested to do digital video production with or without experience. I can provide the training, especially sa mga half-Japanese Filipino teeners and young on digital documentation using chipipay system (assembled computers and home video camera) that is affordable to all with similar to not professionally done production. Of course what I am looking are the few interested who are willing to give time and dedication to the art of digital video. With their time and dedication ay iyon na mismo ang bayad nila sa training to be received.

Lapu-lapu, linear video editing console ang proper term sa sinasabi mo. Pag computer at digital ay non-linear editing ang tawag. Compared sa price, fraction lang ng halaga ng linear editing console ang computer based editing. I' ve been to the linear editing before who spends sa rental ng editing shops who later found the digital non-linear editing method na super ang cheap ng production cost.

Tiki tiki salamat sa mga paliwanag mo tungkol sa Video Editing console. Sana naman makahanap ako ng murang system na mabilis. Dami ko pang video na i edit sa bahay. Yung tungkol sa christian movement mo, magandang apostolate yan para sa kapwa natin. Hindi lang sila marunong mag edit in the future kundi magagamit din nila ito sa livelihood kung intresado sila na video production.

salamat

Tiki-tiki, gusto mong isama iyang video na iyan sa isang online community TV project sa Japan? Marami na rin akong nagawang video na naka-align sa outreach programs... mayroon din sa art, recreation pati concerts... I am sure marami pa sa atin ang gumagawa bilang hobby lamang.

Sa mga kasama rin natin dito na interesadong mag-host o mag-umpisa ng isang channel o makisama sa ideya ng isang online community TV project sa Japan, pakisulatan lang ninyo ako sa tpmovers@gmail.com . Kahit anong tema na reasonable, welcome!

Baka lang puwede nating pagsama-samahan ang interest na ganito para sa isang napakahalagang konsepto. We could throw a dinner for this if ever... mga interesado sa video-editing, build tayo ng online club kumbaga.

May lumapit sa aking broadcasting company tungkol sa mga ginagawa sa Japan... di ko muna sasabihin kung ano pero sa mga interesadong makatulong sa ganitong proyekto, lightweight lang naman ang load kasi nga hobby lang at di masyadong todo ang gagawin... pero mas ok kung marami tayo para di mabigat masyado ang trabaho dahil busy tayong lahat and yes sana makatrabaho natin madaling makagaanan ng loob para di stressful...

Well yes, eto na naman ako at sumusubok sa isang proyekto muli.

Salamat Tonyang pero providing training lang ang mission ko saka yong sinasabi kong video docu that I made is under the name ng producer who owns the copyright. I can only give copy to interested people on private purpose.
