Premier Pro CC newbie video

[Pig benis]

Hello folks

Recently I have been trying to find my way around Premier Pro CC and I've 'completed' a few videos so far. My latest one I put up onto my Youtube channel the other evening, and I was wondering if you guys would give me your opinions?

The title of the video is VERY click bait, and bare in mind this is only my 3rd video .

Disclaimer - While filming this video I had an issue with my camera and its shutter speed, which made some shots very over exposed, but I have fixed this issue now

Hello Fordo

Wow! Thanks for your reply. You have made some very good points, your feedback is far better than I was expecting. I have been thoroughly enjoying editing recently, and I will definitely be applying your tips to my next video which I am currently making.

That is might impressive your jump from videoing car meets and now a director / editior. Where would I be able to see your content?

I hadn't even thought about filming anything other than the cars which were there, but after watching other videos that others have posted, yes, I will be trying to capture the surrounding area a bit more.

You are absolutely correct, on this particular shoot I was filming in auto mode. Since then I have spent a lot of time 'messing' with the settings on my camera, and I have ventured into manual mode. Instantly I have noticed a dramatic difference in the quality of footage, which I hope to be noticed in my next video.

Again, thank you for your feedback. If you don't mind, when I upload my next video (in the next few days), would you mind casting a critical eye over it?

All the best,
Vince

The question I would ask is what is the purpose of the video? Is it to build a following or is it just a standalone thing?

Well, I would like to get more views on my videos and I guess with that, more followers would be nice.

A bunch of my friends all have some interesting cars, so I am looking at doing a feature of each of them.

I know that when I am in the market for a new car, I go straight to YT to see what the car sounds like, the performance, versus videos, and so forth. So I am hoping on getting a few videos covering these topics.

At the moment though, I am just trying to learn Premier Pro and anything that I can edit, I am giving it a go.

Regards,
Vince

Thanks for the kind words. It wasn't quite such a big jump, more of a slow ambling career! I started as an assistant cameraman, practiced loads of the side, learnt editing, worked my way up at a few companies, and now work freelance doing a variety of editing / directing and DOP work.

If you're interested in my work, my showreel has a nice montage of the kind of productions i've worked on: www.peterford.co.uk - although I can never take all the credit - I work with some very talented people, and I always think great work comes from a great team.

I'd be happy to cast a critical eye over your next video. It's great that you're so open to constructive criticism - I've found sometimes some editors can be very precious about their edits. But sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can be really useful

Excellent website, and I enjoyed your showreel movie. Watching movies like this, really inspire me to improve my camera work. Out of interest, how did you do the clip of the melting dog for the Dogs Trust?

That is very kind, thank you. I will drop you a private message, when the video is live.

FYI, I work in IT, and I noticed that you aren't using your domain (peterford.co.uk) in your email address. For example, [e-mail]. Is this something you would be interested in? As you already have the domain, it would just be a case of adding email hosting to your domain.
