Video editing help needed!

[jackwood09]

My friend just recorded a bunch of drum covers for a sabian sponsorship thing he has going on and has asked me to do the video editing for him, so syncing the sound to video etc, which is fine.

He asked me if I could put the sabian logo and another drum store logo in the bottom corners of the video at the end, so basically im a complete noob at this and was wondering what the best way of doing this is?

Thanks in advance!

First you will need some software you can edit video with like adobe Premiere or magix movie or something in that direction. How to use these tools is a broad subject really.

If you are just asking about putting the logos in, get the logo files and make an image the size that your video is going to be and insert it into your editing program. if you are overlaying the logos over video, you might consider making the background of the image bright green and then using chromakey to make the green transparent (greenscreen yall).

Thanks for the input guys. It seemed like too much work so I just faded to the logos at the end.

Thanks anyway

What you want to do make a layer for the logo over the main video track of the drumming and then adjust the opacity of that layer to provide the look you want. If you are using a multi track, read as "real" video editor it's super simple to do. If all you have is iMovie or Moviemaker you are going to have a much harder time doing that. It's just like working with audio, a real DAW lets you do things easily where a cheapo audio editor is a pain.

has anyone actually tried that lightworks program yet or whatever it was called? The free one that's supposed to be really good?
