Now, I’ve edited many videos in this era of computers. Now, I’m not a professional in any means when it comes to making and editing movies. But, these days even complete amateurs can create a professional quality movie with little or no money spent. First off, you have to use what you have. You don’t need a one thousand dollar computer, and a high definition movie quality camera. If you have a hand-held video camera, use that. If you have a 1 or 2 year old desktop or laptop computer, that would work perfectly fine if you keep it updated.

Next, after you gather all the equipment you need, you need the correct software to edit and produce the videos. Again, you don’t need a one hundred dollar program, but even the defaults that your computer comes equipped with will work fine. Sure, it usually doesn’t cover EVERYTHING about editing movies, but if you are just starting out with the editing industry, it will do until you need more graphics and customizability for your movies. For the basics on editing and producing, this guide is all you need to know until you graduate to the professional level of movie production.
