Haven't tried anything yet because I haven't got a living clue, so suggestions are received gratefully

i suppose it will depend on a couple of things before suggestions can be made?
os of course
but perhaps more important (i dunno?) what are you looking to achieve?
just a vague idea i guess "real video edit/animated 2d/3d/slides..."
resolve though, does look like it will do most things needed for me
with a few additional screen capture bits and a camera!
projector could be fun as i have blank white walls...
and several ldr type things for sonic manipulation too!!

For a start, I would just like to make vids to our tunes easy collage style with found clips and pictures fading in and out of each other. Very basic.

I've meant to bring this up earlier, but... given that Resolve is (rightfully, IMHO) becoming hugely popular in the "consumer" market, as a go-to alternative to long established (primarily) Adobe and Sony pro/semi-pro/consumer products, for video/film production, I would be far more inclined to believe that "have you tried Blender" will be the de-facto underling, in the ignored/overlooked/under-appreciated fanboy arena. Particularly since it is immeasurably well established there (regarding modeling, animation, and rendering, et al), just as 'Inkscape' is for vector graphics. .. that said.vurt wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:35 pmhave you tried resolve?TribeOfHǫfuð wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:34 pm If this includes learning how to e.g. make (fancy) YouTube vids to your tunes, I am all in.

[trivia] ... The main feature of Resolve (when it was just called 'DeVinci') that made it an 'industry' household name, was its uncompromising color grading, which was highly sought after, and demanded a premium price tag. It (like the pro-tools of old) was hardware dependent, and ran $4-800,000.00 per station. At its peak, there were maybe 100 such installations worldwide. It became 'Resolve' through the acquisition of other companies tech (IP), and the expansive editing/compositing/rendering capabilities there-of being incorporated into it. [/end trivia]
Yes, Resolve will do all of that and then some.vurt wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:49 pmtbh, im on the first steps of the same journey, just getting my boots on.TribeOfHǫfuð wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:40 pm Haven't tried anything yet because I haven't got a living clue, so suggestions are received gratefully

If you can get OBS sorted, it will do the screen recording/capture and camera bits, which you then obviously import into Resolve. Further, given your use-case requirements, your phone, or a cheap-ass webcam will most likely prove sufficient, but certainly nothing more expensive (unless you are so inclined) than a Go-Pro or one of those Zoom (brand) recorders. [2c]
By "vids of our tunes", do you mean recording your 'performance', and/or a screen capture of trippy visuals, or your DAW (tracks) playing it, as part of the "easy collage style with found clips and pictures fading in and out of each other" to accompany your tunes?

Establishing what you intend to do is paramount obviously, then finding tutorials that familiarize you with the terminology, and give you a methodology of accomplishing that with relative ease, within the applications available. Particularly file/format preparation and organization, workspace layout (customizable), templates, assets (type, location and accessibility), and short-cut keys. Emphasis on 'short-cut-keys'.

then when i get stuck...
oh shit, where do i go then?
if only there was somewhere i could ask...

Yeah, USB endoscopes/microscopes are useful and fun. Even a cheap-ass one with crap imaging can add a lo-fi distorted SFX element to your vids. I'm determined to just use an older iPhone 5s, newer iPhone SE, and an old iPad mini. The latter is a very convenient magnifying glass 'zoom' (which I need) and potential splash-guard for an intended 'eurorack kit soldering for dummies', series.
Indeed... if only.

Well, having pictures of us playing would be fake, since we do not perform our music live (yet), but I would welcome the know how. Basically, my ambitions are low with hopes of improvement by learning. Starting out with something as simple as this would do it. Maybe with slower and better overlaps, tho:Shabdahbriah wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 9:06 pmBy "vids of our tunes", do you mean recording your 'performance', and/or a screen capture of trippy visuals, or your DAW (tracks) playing it, as part of the "easy collage style with found clips and pictures fading in and out of each other" to accompany your tunes?

figured it would be a bit shit, and if anything like "wish" id still be here, waiting, 12 months after ordering
but no, it arrived in a few days, and is pretty bloody good!
cant use it with my phone atm, as i have a "shite2021" which doesnt have otg(on the go) for powering usb devices
so have been pretty limited to what i can film, two feet from the pc
got some cool shots inside a weed container and the grinder though
very eldritch, looking at weed that close

ooh interesting, i might blow myself up one day
i have no illusions of "teaching/showing/demoing"
its definitely more "just having some creative fun" much the same way i treat the music side

all that has to happen in Resolve for a basic crossfade is grab handles on the clips you want to crossfade: dragging the left handle to the right means its opaqueness goes from 0 to potentially fully opaque; the inverse is of course going from 100% opaque down to _. And it's the easy way to fade out. So you may fade out of one clip as you fade in the other; only they have to be on separate tracks. In FCPX this is called 'lift from timeline', or you don't 'overwrite to timeline' when dragging the second etc clips.

This is basically a 'slide-show' with music, and is super easy to do. Starting simple and evolving your technique as you learn, is a wise approach, rather than getting overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to do a ton of cool things which are often buried within obscurely named menus/actions, or ridiculously complex.
I chose this video example, because it specifically addressed something I had a problem with when trying to import a lot of phone images, and it gives you a sense of what can be done rather quickly, with step by step, "click here, then here, then do this" examples. Use what applies to your use-case. For example. The tip on setting a uniform 'length of time' for the images (though there are other ways to do this, individually or collectively) would make it easy for you to set/coordinate a fixed number of images to the length of your audio track. Then apply a fade in/fade-out/cross-fade (or other type) transition(s).
Simple.
