Composing : Composer need video programs? by Kerry Kennard

Kerry Kennard

Composer need video programs?

Know this is the composing lounge,

… is it wise for composers to have a

Top video program to use at times in the composing process? Know Dorico and

Logic Pro import video, though to help put it together and possibly … work doing

Video editing- wouldn’t this be worth a mid-price point having this software?

I have iMovie, though the next one up might be better for more complex editing (?!)

Does anyone here have a good stand alone video program ?

Hi Kerry, I'm not sure I understand exactly your post, but usually, you don't need video editing software unless you work on video editing.

I'm a composer too and I always work on the picture-lock footage imported into Pro Tools.

Anyway, for video editing I work with Adobe Premiere and Davinci Resolve (it has a free version).

Happy to help you with anything else if I can.

Best,

Walder

Good answer, Walder Martinez .

So, Resolve has a free version ?

Walder Martinez

Yes, Kerry. With fewer functions than the paid one, but it's a fully functional version. You can check it out here:

Kerry Kennard I also recommend Adobe Premiere. My son also likes Filmora and finds it a little easier to learn/use than Premier.

Thanks Kat Spencer !

I had a little experience at EKU during this Masters degree with Premier- nice integration.

(Where I made my first 4 ‘reels’)

You have a link to Filmora ?

Thanks Kat !

Appreciate your input ?
