I’m going to be trying some video blogs over the next few weeks with some of the content I post. I’ve been watching a friend do it and can see the benefits of it.

As with anything, there is a learning curve on the process and the tools you use to produce a video. However, as you continue to produce videos, or anything else on a consistent basis you develop an aptitude for it which allows you to streamline the process and obtain more benefits from a reduced amount of work.

That said, heres the introductory bloging video:

Video Notes:
Free Video, Audio, and Screen Capture programs to check out.

  • Windows Movie Maker - If you’re using windows, this should already be preinstalled with XP/Vista. Check under Start - Programs.
  • Freez Screen Video Capture - Simple but very effective screen capture utility. Allows you to do a voice over with your video capture. Check out the other products they offer on their site. All free, video & audio converters and a DVD ripper.
  • Jahshaka - Video editor.

Paid Alternative Applications.

  • Video Edit Magic - This is one of the cheapest and most intuitive video editors for beginners. If you have a few bucks its not a bad option to start with if you’re having trouble with the free ones. ($70)
  • Camtasia Studio - Pronounced it wrong in the video. This will capture your screen and provide several more options than Freez Screen Video Capture. ($300)

A lot of these programs offer free tutorials within their own site to help you get started. Don’t miss those or it might take you longer at first.

Blog Video Intro:
My intro was done by a good friend of mine, Todd using LiveType. Visit his blog over at http://movie-tech-lounge.com. If you ask nicely he might do one for you too. Or perhaps you can bribe him with some green ;).
