Season Edit Critique

bump?

i cant actually view the video, (might just be my internet though) maybe include a link as well?

alright, now that i can actually view it:

the titles look really plain. maybe use 3d titles (which you would do with cinema 4d or some related program, then render as an alpha channel so you can drop it over your video clip) if that is too much work maybe change up the font or something

what is iskysoft? that logo at 1:09 kind of wreaks it. the clip was alright,but due to that logo i would maybe consider not using it. it reappears throughout the edit, gives it an unprofessional feel.

i wasnt a huge fan of the song, but thats my opinion. you like it though, so thats not a big deal

and perhaps color correct some of the footage. most video editing software has the ability to color correct. the best program i have found is a plugin for AE called magic bullet.

overall though it was a good edit. you are a LOT better than i was when i was twelve. keep up the good work

Thanks! I immediately regretted using that song. And I'll start playing around with color-correcting and titles.

Agree that the titles looked bad, but 3d titles are way too cheesy (every kid and his dog has ae now adays). Just make it simple and clean. I commented on the yt video but a lot of the shots were over/underexposed and cutting between them looks weird. Do some color correction (not grading necessarily) to even it out some more. Also as far as color correction goes magic bulet is decent for just quick presets but normal curves/levels/3 way works fine in premiere or fcp or whatever you want. could have used a bit of grading but i thought it was mostly fine. The main problem was shakiness and exposure imo at least. Could have chosen shots that visually looked more similar as well, instead of cutting between different places and different days (shady vs sunny etc) as often

thanks! I'll start playing around with stuff, like in the first critique

bump. pretty much got what I wanted. Now I'm really just looking for skiing critiques, And yes I know that my rails were way below par, but really, I just want some input on how to improve style, etc.
