Software for Authoring Wedding Video

[ashkan_vpm2]

Hi
I want a software that can work and export wedding video and have some plugins for visual effects.
for Ex: have some plugins for this making scenes like these:





Thank you.

you can buy adobe cs4 collection with premiere and after effects, but you will need to learn how to use them.

[ashkan_vpm2]

did these screen shot contain in the adobe CS4 collection?
I work on after effects.

That's a lot of work if you do it from scratch, even if you are familiar with the programs.

To speed up the process you might look into buying pre-rendered templates and projects from some sites like videohive, revostock, a few others

And no, the CS4 collection doesn't specifically contain that exact sequence. They just provide the tools for you do make stuff like that - you would have to make it yourself

What is the best software for editing wedding videos?

There is no "best"

There are too many variables, like source input, format export, types of effects, personal preferences, etc...

Personally, I think the combinations of Premiere CS4 + After Effects CS4 will give you the ability to do the most (still a lot of work if you want fancy stuff)

What is the best software for editing wedding videos?

What is your experience level and how much time are you willing to invest in learning?

There is no "wedding video" editing program. You can cut something together in Windows Media Maker, or you can take months with a pro program like Premiere Pro or Vegas Pro.

If you are looking for shortcuts with templates, exercise Google and test the demos.

And what do those preview pictures have to do with "weddings" ?

They look more related to a science fiction movie , than a wedding theme

Maybe its a wedding for space aliens ?

All in one video programs like Pinnacle´s Studio or Ulead´s Videostudio among others provide wedding (or birthday, etc..) themes, with special transitions or backgrounds for DVD authoring, and you can always add footage from stock libraries. As edDV said, there´s no wedding video software as such.
Also note that if you insist on creating a video like the one you posted, you do not only need programs like Premiere or After Effects but also 3D modelling and animating software.

Thanks for your help, I try your solution. They are so useful.

I found the mpeg2 encoder that comes with cs4 to be sub-standard. I used to use the procoder plugin to make my mpeg2-DVD video using the mastering quality and the mpg's came out looking very close to the dv source, still very sharp/etc.

The adobe media encoder using the mpeg2-DVD setting at 9000kbpsCBR land highest quality (5) looks very soft in comparison.

Also, yes what do those pictures have to do with a wedding video???? You don't need cheesy animations or star wipes or whatnot..just because a program has x feature doesn't mean you should use it. If you are serious about it I'd stick with cross-dissolves/fades and leave the page turning/exploding bomb/etc. transitions to birthday parties and other home videos of less importance.

what's been posted is probably do-able without to be honest, depends on the amount of time you want to spend on it (and if your system can actually handle it), although would definately be easier to use it, assuming you haven't got to learn that software.

On topic though.....I'm at a total loss as to the relation between those images and a wedding video.

You want to make a wedding video? Pinnacle, Premiere Elements, Windows Movie Maker, etc etc. all fine.

You want to make those effects? After Effects, Photoshop, Probably 3D rendering software, plus a NLE of your choice.



Very confusing topic.

[ashkan_vpm2]

i don't know exactly what make you confuse about this topic.
I just ask a question about software that can make and author wedding video.
I think you just watch one wedding video all over your live.
Just think about what you type. The text that you type is coming out from your mind not from your other side!!!!

Those images have absolutely NO ******* RELATION to wedding videos of ANY kind.

Video editors
DVD Authoring

Don't be a jerk to people trying to help you out just because you do not know how to ask a question.

If it is a simple language problem, then say so in your post. "I do not speak English very well, so please excuse any misunderstandings." or "I only speak Persian/Azeri."

No need to be so offensive.
For all you/we know, the images might have a significance to weddings in the OP's culture.

Perhaps it is a language thing, but what you seem to be asking for perhaps does not exist.

Usually, when editing video, you use a video editing program. All this does is allow you to cut together and re-arrange video, add transitions, and play with the audio. If you want to start adding fancy effects, or creating three dimensional video such as the examples you provided, then you need to look at more complex programs that require a lot of time to learn.

There are some programs that provide a lot of canned templates. Programs such as iMovie and iDVD have a lot of slick looking presets that do, at first glance, look impressive. The trouble is, they tend to all look alike, and to look very mass produced. This goes for template packs sold by Wedding video companies. It is all one-size-fits-all type stuff.

There is no program for creating wedding videos. You can use any editor to most of it, and any effects tool if you want to get fancier. You can buy packs of transitions and overlays designed for wedding videos - lots of soft focus stuff with rings and cakes and trees etc. - which can used in most high-end editing programs.

Scenes like the one you posted in your first post do not come out an an editor unless it is a specialised plugin. If that is the case, it is most likely something for Premiere, which has more plugins that any other editor out there.

I don't watch a lot of wedding videos - like the weddings themselves, they bore the hell out of me - but I have never seen a wedding video with video like that in it.

Easy, Easy, Easy.
I think you have some problems with yourself.
Here is a forum, and you can't speak like that. Be polite. OK? CALM DOWN.

What? Are you talking to me, or to Supreme2k?

I was merely trying to say that you might possibly be right, we just don't know.
Perhaps you could explain if the images you posted have some relationship to weddings in your culture, or are they just examples of the sort of effects you want to include?
