What type of product or service do you want to market and do you need info the technical aspects of video production or producing the content?

Costs will range from free to sky high. Let's explore free

You can record decent footage on a smartphone these days, but it'd be better if you have a dedicated camcorder. A tripod is a must though, unless you are going for the 'Blair witch project' look.

Then it's down to pulling the video into some editing software. Commercial packages such as Adobe Premiere/Elements are good, but pricey (especially the full Premiere package), but there are several open source video packages out there, such as Open Movie that appear to be on a par. If you download Windows Live Essentials that even comes with a half decent video editing package that will allow you to edit, add titles etc.

Then it's just a case of compiling it into a format you can upload, and away you go.

I've done dozens of case study videos for my company (see signature for link) that are now on YouTube. These were all done in Adobe Premiere/After Effects.

Once you've created a video clip, here's a tip of how to get it into YouTube. First, you'll need a YouTube account, so register free for that.

Then, assuming you have Windows, run Windows Movie Maker to edit your clip. When finished, you can simply upload your video directly into YouTube - just provide your account credentials.

Creating videos is a art, kindly keep a close tab on the key features you want to highlight within the video while describing all the elements. You tube video posting is easy and user friendly, once you will explore it self, you will realize things.

ok another quick question
video editing etc seems to be going ok but is there anywhere that i can download royalty free video clips that i can then edit and use ????
thanks guys+girls

It's great, but my only comment would be the audio. If you can invest in a better quality microphone it will take your videos to a new level.

Thats a great video, although the hand gestures, 2 hands on every start of a sentence and 1 hand on every comma is a little distracting, because you start watching for them and not paying attension to the real content, but production is excellent.

 

[prizeamonth]

lol my thread seems to have been hijacked
the video looks good by the way
just to jump back to my question
is there anywhere that has royalty free video clips that can be used to make a video as i have enjoyed using the editing software etc that was suggested but i hate the idea of being in front of the camera personally
thanks again guys + girls

There are plenty of places to purchase vidoe such as iStock.

You need the idea first, what do you want to make a video about?
What do you want it to say and achieve?

Thanks we are looking in to the audio as we know it needs work.
