re: Video editing for beginners

I bought a Panasonic LUMIX. It is a $800 camera and I got the plug in power source for it so I don't have to worry about batteries. Camera
With cameras it is all about the lens though. The lights make a massive difference though.

I also bought 4 soft box lights with tripods. 2 was enough but just in case. lol lights

For sound recording I bought (2) wireless packs. These are pricy. Sound

For the editing I use https://www.openshot.org/. It is free and simple.

For audio editing I use Audacity

I also do overhead shots with WEBcam


My youtube channel is YOUtube

Note: I am not a professional. I have a lot to learn about the camera settings and video editing. This camera is amazing when the settings are taken correctly. I have not nailed these down yet. But I am learning and you can see the difference from the first videos to the most recent.

Now the Iphones take amazing footage now. But I would recommend at least getting the audio stuff.
