Got a bit sweaty clicking on the link, was half expecting my lot to turn up! But..good on them for having a go, hard song to get right.

@EBS_freak enjoyed all those videos. Some questions. Were they all static cameras or was someone holding at least one? The wedding video looked like there was someone in the crowd at the very end. All the transitions were hard, was that intentional? Do you have a strict(ish) amount of max time on each shot before you cut? Somebody once told me 6 seconds but I could have imagined that! And lastly how did you record the audio? They were all of an excellent standard by the way

This is a great topic, I'm really enjoying everybody's videos, and seeing an improvement with every upload. I recorded this last week, on Reaper and edited again in Reaper, it's become my go to DAW and Video editor, I've ditched garageband and daVinci resolve, Reaper is so much quicker, uses less resources and sync'ing is a piece of p1ss. Thanks to happy jack for making me think about transitions and Dad3353 for taking mixing and mastering a bit more seriously. Keep it up good people, I'm watching every submission and learning so much https://fb.watch/1ZfcGLgF8O/

and me. Nice debut.... :🤔

seem to have some sort of presence in the UK http://www.ceriatone.com/dealers-techs/

such good value..

Beautiful!

Tell me about it! I'm the one lumbered with all the cameras as well as setting up the PA, Im amazed if I get more than 2 minutes to set up my own rig. What will you be using to actually record the audio? I see you're using a tablet so are you running the Behringer Xair 18 or something similar? Due to time constraints and an analogue desk we will still be recording live gigs (as and when) with the Zoom onboard mics which aren't too bad but I'd love to record live gigs into a laptop running Reaper, something you could do with a digital PA/tablet like you have. Of course by this time, you're more engineer/Roadie/camera person than bass player!

just split the track (press "S") for the portion you want to zoom in on (or pan left/right etc), then right click on that split portion and select "item properties", at the bottom of the new box screen select "Take Fx"and that takes you into the plugins folder. When you select whatever effects you want, they will only work in that split part of the track you wanted to zoom in.

so I initially used 9 tracks to record the audio, ie.kick, snare, 3 toms, overhead, bass, guitar and vocal, mixed it as best (and TBH quick) as I could, then rendered it to a master audio track. I opened up a new project in Reaper and used that as the master audio, followed by the 3 different camera tracks, so for the actual video editing, just 4 tracks. When I placed each camera file into reaper, the first thing i do is to trim the video to a second before the song starts and about 5 seconds after it finishes. I'm not quite sure why you needed to load 5 cameras if 3 were virtual, could you not have just used the 2 real cameras and zoomed in to taste as you went along the timeline? Looking forward to seeing the results!

Thanks to you good folks on this forum I learnt that not only is Reaper a great DAW, it even does "basic" Video editing. For my needs, I found it more than adequate, with 3 cameras, zooming, cut and pasting and best of all, the syncing between the 3 videos and the master audio an absolute breeze as all files are predominately shown as audio files first. There's a whole load of other utilities in it that I haven't even begun to explore yet. So I'd say it was more than "basic" and at £60 is an absolute steal Below an example of what I mean, recorded into reaper, mixed and then video added, again all in the same DAW on a 2007 4 GB iMac running El Capitan. Not the fastest machine by any stretch of the imagination! Handled it all ok, a little slow but entirely do-able. Great for quick Facebook uploads.

yeah and he had coloured contact lenses, first time i'd seen them, he looked terrifying and bored at the same time..

someone's coughed up 3.5K for this, hope they don't get fleeced..

Condolences to you and your family Dan.

yeah, i guess so. I'd probably get a midi keyboard and an ipad, but obvs more money

I've looked at reviews and they say the built- in sounds aren't very good, I believe there are better options out there.

same here, running a £50 pc (off gumtree) with RAM of 8GB, windows 10 and god-knows what else and it works fine for my needs, 3 or 4 cameras at 1080 24fps. Yeah the render takes a while, but I go and make a cup of tea.

Had a go at editing some video clips in Reaper and I was really quite impressed. I could do multicam timelines, zoom in and out, and it has some nice transitions between frames. For £60 along with a superb DAW, it's a no-brainer.

always thought this was a great live performance, and the bloke went on to sing for Jefferson Starship. Apparently there's been some videos from Vocal Coaches who use this as a template for control (or something)..

Same here! Such an amazing bit of kit. It even does zoom ins and transitions, unbelievable..

like that 83 Boss SD-1

Never managed to get that work, would love to though, that’s the thing that’s the biggest headache for me atm

tried it as well and it loads a lot quicker, however the zoom in/out and pan functions aren't nearly as intuitive or quick as resolve so it's a no from me (for now), but thanks for the heads up, I'll certainly play around with it!
