My first ever edit of 4K footage.

[Fonejacker]

Please do have a look, its my first attempt at using Premiere Pro (or any editing software for that matter).

I'm a keen photographer and moving into the world of drones (yes..still waiting). So yes, I'm good at photoshop but premiere is a completely different kettle of fish....

while I wait for my drone, I thought I'd see how my Mac Book Pro (2016) would handle 4K footage. Well, the answer is it can't. I had to create a proxy file to edit on lower resolution (self-taught through youtube).

A MP forum member (BD0G) kingly offered to provide me with RAW captured footage from Nevada Tahoe which is magnificent to say the least! He did admit there was some focus issues due to low clouds but regardless, the footage still helped me create a nice edit.

Please do let me know your thoughts and any tips for the future are greatly welcome! Youtube is still processing the files and so 4K is yet to come.

Thanks for looking.

Good job well done fella

Would be hard to make that amazing scenery look crap

I like to get some low and slow close up footage once the scene is revealed

 

[Fonejacker]

Yeh completely understand and take that on board!

Obviously I only had the footage that was supplied, I could have defiantly made use of different variants in heights to help tell a bit of a story!!

Where does everyone get their license free music from?

 

[Fonejacker]

Ok, this isn't licensed but didn't think it had to be when you're doing it privately and not monetised?

Thanks BD0G

If its on public youtube then you could run into issues if its licensed music however that requires the licensee to find it and report you...

It's an unlisted item, it doesn't appear on searches. Only to those who have the link.

see attached. Youtube can check with owners of the license, you just can't monatise on the video which i didn't want to do anyway.

Thats really good information. So essentially if you try to make money from someone elses song or tune THEN you need to have the explicit permission from the creator. Seems fair and makes sense.

Next thing to explore is colorgrading.

 

[Fonejacker]

What do you need to know about colour grading?
