Nick Bateman Selfie Music Video

A music video I edited of Nick Bateman, set to "Selfie" by The Chainsmokers.


Other Info:
This was my very first time trying out the program AVS4You Video Editor. I haven't worked in a video editing program in years so it was nice to have a go at it again. Unfortunately, this program is far less precise and much less "advanced" than what I was accustomed to. I was used to working in After Effect, Final Cut, Avid etc. (mind you, that was back in ancient times, we're talking like 10 YEARS ago!)

So, some things were a bit frustrating. Having to go back in and recut/resize every clip was VERY tedious. Some fine tuning is always expected, but it just felt like for some reason in this program, the first half second or so at the very beginning or very end of EACH clip had to be readjusted EVERY time. Which ended up becoming insanely time consuming.

There was also the issue of the main video line being permanently stuck in "snap" mode. I like having that as an -option-, not a requirement. I may still just have some learning to do, but I could not find a way to save the clips in the media library, after creating them in the time line myself. That made for more work and more wasting of time as well.

In any case... The purpose of this video is for EDUCATION. Needless to say, I still am working on LEARNING how to improve my skills. As much as I'd love to get a more enhanced video editing program, AVS is the only program I am able to afford right now.
