Hi,

I filmed a event last night, was around 200 - 250 people there, had bands, silent auction, dinner, etc.

I would film 30 - 90 seconds, then move to a different spot and film more. Etc

What kind of tips can you all give me on editing it? The bands gave me CD's and said I can use their songs, so I was thinking just background music and showing the event. How can I spice it up, or how should I go about doing it?

without seeing the footage how the hell are we supposed to know what to do with it??

play each bit back and decide what bits go together.. one camera jobs always look crap anyway, especially when it keeps jumping around from one static place to another.

same for the soundtrack .. no idea without having the video and whatever else to look at..

Take this as your wakeup call.. pro's always use 2 cameras.. one running constantly on a wide view and another to get closeups and focus on important things within the event..

You were there.. you know what happened and in what order.. look at what you have and experiment... or take it to a professional.. who does home videos of weddings and stuff. I could get that all edited and stuck on a dvd for you for £25 without postage.

Why do you need to be so rude? Hopefully someone else will help me who is much nicer.

You Cuold try Pinnacyle (Pay)
They give you a few Transitions and you can add your own music.
But it is a lot of work.

I have the software a really good one, but just wanted to know what people normally do for events.

Like commercials are simple, you do a voice over, add some titles, background music, and your set.

But events seem harder.
