If you're a beginner to making clips, a GoPro enthusiast, a video blogger or an amateur filmmaker and want to make better videos, check out this list of tutorials on video editing. Before you buy your top original software, watch some tutorials so you know it's right for you.

Please note that even though these examples are for Magix Movie Edit Pro (my favorite video editor), you can use the same principles in most video editing programs. I just like Magix coz it lets me import most formats (MP4, MKV, MOV, MTS - AVCHD, M2TS, VOB, etc.), it's easy to use and delivers professional results.

All this is based on my own editing experience so if you have any questions, drop a comment and I'll reply.

DIY Camera Slider Tutorial - Video

Even though we may be amateurs, using a camera slider can definitely make our videos look better. Just as a camera stabilizer or a fluid head tripod, a slider gives a cinematic touch to your clip.

The effect is eye catching and we've been used to see this kind of footage in music videos, movies and documentaries.

If you take advantage of this simple camera-sliding trick, your video will look professional.


So, with a few ball bearings, bolts and nuts, glue and some aluminum or laminate flooring plates, you can actually make your own DIY slider. If you're not that much into DIY, check out some cool sliders on Amazon.

I use my GoPro HD and my Sony HX9V on my mini-dolly. That's how I do the vertigo effect.
