Video Editing

[Alli]

I just recently pick up a new hobbie for video editing and need some advice.

I've been following this group called True Margirt because their videos are creative and I like how their videos are edited. Here's a link so you can see what I'm talking about

What are some devices and programs that will help me pull off maybe 5% of what they did? Also, what are the technical terms called for some of the editng that they used in this video?

Thank You,
Newbie

Comes down to what is your source video?

What do you want to spend? And how much learning are you willing to invest?

And lots of patience I might add along the way!

Nothing special about that video. No tech breakthrough. Just standard pro post work.

It's just a hobbie and it's fun learning. Thanks for your feed back.

You could build something similar with Vegas Pro but it may take you a year or more to learn how. Vegas' nested timelines make those motion splined stock footage clips fairly easy to handle.

If you are serious, first take a basic Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or Vegas Pro course.
