Hi. I'm Gary and
I'm the webmaster of Free Video Editing.com (amongst other sites)
I started editing several years ago when I filmed some performances
from my local Amateur Dramatics group. We used these as training aids
and I discovered that editing was actually a really fun pastime. In
fact
I have been known to spend hours poring over footage trying to find the
ideal take or the ideal edit point to make a sequence sparkle!
This lead me to research the subject more clearly and this was the
point at which I discovered some great books
on the subject as well as
learning tips
and techniques such as montage, the Kuleshov effect and
little items such as 'J' and 'L' cuts.
The key problem was always the software, though. I did go out and
purchase the full Adobe Production Studio suite (at great personal
cost), and - although I think it is an excellent suite of software - I
was always wondering if there was a cheaper way to get into the world
of editing.
That's when I started researching free
video editing software.
Initially there were not many tools out there, but over time the field
has become wider and wider with some really great tools out there such
as Blender.
The good thing about this field is that it is ever expending. Every day
I see something that I want to look into on your behalf. It might be a
new tool, or a new technique but whatever it is I will take the time to
investigate it and - if it's appropriate - add it to this site.
By the way if there's a tool you've come across that you want adding
here go to the 'submission'
page where you can drop the details to me
on a form and I'll take a look at it.
If you want to drop me a line for another reason please use this
page.
Hope you enjoy the site.
Gary
Webmaster
