Couch to $500K - Which Video Editing Software Should You Use

Which Video Editing Software Should You Use

12/02/14 • 19 min

#015 - Commenters on YouTube love to ask what camera, microphone, and editing software are used to make the videos, so today I'm answering the third. I've used many different video editing programs over the past decade, but now I only use a couple. In this episode I talk through six different video editing programs (from free to pro) and help you figure out which one is best for you and your budget. I also share one bonus app that saves me a ton of time and frustration when I'm syncing video for multiple cameras with my external audio recordings.

How Wistia Makes Videos (ft. Chris Lavigne)

#014 - Wistia is one of my favorite companies. I use their video hosting for my course, have learned a lot from their training videos, and they throw a heck of a conference. That is why I wanted to chat with Chris Lavigne, who has been making videos for Wistia for almost four years, about how Wistia does video well. In this episode I chat with Chris about getting stable handheld footage with a DSLR, working with many different people on camera, dampening sound in a studio, and why you should make multiple videos instead of just one video.

How Asana Makes Videos (ft. Joey Dello Russo)

#016 - Making a team-based productivity app interesting in videos isn't easy to do, but Asana has done an amazing job of making high quality and engaging videos not only to market their app, but to teach and inspire people to use it as well. Once I saw some of their videos I immediately wanted to find out who was behind them. Specifically, I wanted to know how they made the screen recorded sections of their videos look so good. In today's episode I talk with Joey Dello Russo, an NYU film school grad that formerly worked at Asana and was the major creative force behind Asana's use of video. In it, he shares a ton of detail about the process for how he made each of the videos, how he got other employees at the company involved in them, and the steps he takes for making screen recordings look amazing.
