give me some time.. for about every minute of video it takes an hour to edit. that video took a total of 16 hours to be edited, rendered, uploaded, and processed. I have a 220$ computer as well to do this on..

If you are using FCP then J-K-L and f9-f10 is your friend, I can edit 4 hours worth of footage down to a 5min piece, color correct, audio, and visual effects in a little over a hour.

Use short cuts & you'll cut down on the time of editing.

Dirtysouth sorry for the lingo, I'm a editor / Director of Photography. In other words, a guy who sits in a black room 9 hours a day in front of a monitor editing... Thats what I would call a editor, how ever I also film too, short films, features, documentaries, music videos, events, etc.

Joey FTW, the only advice I can honestly give you is this. Ditch Vegas you can't start to begin to edit on a pro level using vegas.

Vegas in my eyes is a program one step above windows movie maker, technically if you wanted to you could use Adobe Premiere but once again the nations standard is either Final Cut Pro (FCP) or Avid.

I've edited a lot of MTV's true life t.v shows and they prefer that you use Avid, actually they only ask that you use avid... Then again I've had companies like Speed ask me to edit in FCP so I guess since you are a windows guy you are forced to learn Avid but once you learn Avid, FCP isn't much off from Avid....

I've watched your videos, it's not bad but the only tip I could give you while filming is take off the auto mode... It looks like auto exposer is really killing you, I'd also increase the gain a little bit in the night time stuff so it's not so dark either.

I shoot on a XH-A1 with a 35mm adapter, my rig with the lens, camera, adapter, follow focus, matte box, and monitor costs around 11,000 dollars --- not including sticks or steadycam rig or dolly or anything else that I may use.

Here are some photos of how I work, you can only learn by experience and editing is a skill / technique that requires a lot of practice.

thats super baller! im not looking to go professional about it.. my setup only cost me 600$ o_O. thanks for the advice! i'm thinking about getting adobe after effects and ditch the sony vegas soon. I'm not looking to get a profession in this so it's all for good fun. There are plenty of improvements on anything I will make because i'm learning, but at its least i make a decent video. :cool:
 
Joey, you don't edit in After Effects, you edit in a base program like Vegas then you'll save your files as a h.264 file (quicktime) then you bring it into After Effects and you'd composite. How ever Adobe Premiere you could edit it, then round trip edit to After Effects...

You could do some cool stuff like this:
