It's time to dust off your video tapes and turn them into professional-looking movies. Here are 4 good reasons why:
Reason #1 – Unedited, raw video footage is painful to watch. It's choppy, jumpy, most scenes stretch out too long, and you end up pressing the Fast Forward button every two seconds.
Reason #2 – Cheaper and easier. Everything – hardware, software, accessories – are all cheaper and much easier to use.
Reason #3 – Easier to Share an edited video.
Raw video footage is long, often over an hour long. That's hard to hard a video that long over email, the internet, on your smartphone or other mobile devices. when you edit your videos, you can cull out the highlights and create a 30-second highlights video, or a video around one simple scene. Shorter, succinct videos are easier to share and more fun to watch (see below video example).
