video editing software used in film industry image
RECKLESS A
I am so tired of Windows Movie Maker, it's so stressful to make a video on it. I'm trying to get a video up for my subscribers and I haven't in a while because of wmm. I don't want to let them down again. I just need a video editing software that's actually good and that's free. Please help, it'd be much appreciated.
Answer
Lightworks; free alternative to Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas.

Lightworks has been used in the movie industry for more than 20 years. Lightworks also has the fastest workflow in the industry.
Lightworks used to cost more than $1000, but now Lightworks Pro costs $60/year and you can download a free version from their website.
Sony Vegas costs $600 and that's the same price as using Lightworks Pro for 10 years.
Editors using Lightworks have produced numerous internationally renowned and Oscar and Emmy award-winning feature films and television programs, including The King's Speech, The Departed, Mission Impossible, Braveheart, and Pulp Fiction.
And yes! Lightworks is FREE if you don't need pro video codecs and you can use the free version as long as you want.

What camera would anybody reccomend to use in a short low budget documentary?
VCity
I plan on starting a documentary in June and I am brand new to the filming business. I would like any suggestions on what camera or video recorder would be suffice and also what video editing software is reccomendable..
Thanks.
Answer
VCity, since you are "brand new to the filming business," I'll let you in on some little secrets...
1.--Video and film are not the same thing.
2.--Professionals don't buy their own cameras for projects unless they are videographers, they rent equipment and hire crews who know how to use it properly. Everyone has a specialized role so that each aspect of production is carried out as best as possible. This also stops people who only shoot one or two things a year from wasting their money on thousands of dollars of equipment that will be obsolete in a few years.
If you don't have any ideas on what camera(s,) lenses, lights, mic's, support, editing etc, you will need for your documentary, this indicates to me that you are not the person who should be making those decisions, nor should random people from the internet be determining this for your project.
Research some local video production companies and discusss your project with them. Expect fees to start at $1000 per full day of shooting for absolute minimal equipment and crew.
If you are still set on purchasing your own equipment, at least take a couple courses in basic video production before simply buying a camera and thinking you can make a watchable documentary. I mean, maybe you can and I'm just being cynical but after working in the industry for nearly 10 years, I've not met many people who can.
What I see more of are the terrible, barely audible, shaky, poorly focused/exposed footage of people who had a good idea but were in too much of a hurry that they now cannot really spread the word of their idea because nobody wants to watch their "low budget documentary."
Good luck with your project. Give it all the effort your idea deserves.
