I am new at editing. What editing program would you recommend for editing short films? I’ve been using Adobe Premiere Pro, but it takes up too much space on my hard drive. Plus, I need to get a one-time purchase option rather than a subscription. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Got it. Thank you, Chris.

Davinci Resolve is my weapon of choice, however, if you find it a little demanding (hardware wise it can ask a lot sometimes) you could also try out HitFilm it's another great program for beginners to learn on before upping to Resolve.
I´ll check it out. Thank you, Daniel.

If you've ever tried to do a VFX shot and thought to yourself you don't have enough time to build the model or effect, don't have the resources to render fast enough, or found the scoop of your idea just too overwhelming, You might have been looking at things wrong.

I'm always amazed at the progression that things take to become what they are today. From cars, to architecture, to instruments and food, everything has a history and a story. So what about the history of CGI? Inspired by the first photos of Mars, here is the birth of the first movie with CGI. I won...

The original Westworld movie is legendary. One for serious film heads to check out!
The original Westworld movie is amazing and Yul Brenner is outstanding in it. Especially given the modern reboot, it's worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it. How ahead of the curve was Michael Crighton by the way?
Fx has really progressed; from Tron, to Matrix movies, to today’s FX.
I’ve been watching some of the old Star Wars movies, and how they used between some of the scenes; i’m not sure if it’s the style from the movies or only what CGI they had at the time.
Cutting trailers is an art unto itself. Ridley Scott's films are always edited beautifully and his film's trailers can really pull you in. This looks pretty amazing. And Denzel is quite a get. What do you think of the trailer? https://variety.com/2024/film/news/gladiator-2-trailer-paul-mescal-pedro....

He honestly looks SO cool in the trailer, Tom Lapke! He's stealing the scenes before the movie even starts.
I like the look of it, but the music is an awful fit.
Amazzzzzing Sam Sokolow
For years the first Gladiator was my favorite film, I'm hoping this one delivers as well.
Global production continues to grow and it's nice to see the UK making investments and expanding. I hope this bodes well for production across the board in Northern England and beyond. https://www.insidermedia.com/news/national/post-production-agency-to-lau......

Newcastle Post, and Newcastle Ale. I'll drink to that!
Pretty sure the new Danny Boyle film "28 Years Later" filmed in Newcastle recently. It's becoming a hot spot. The great Ken Loach made a few of his later films including I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You in the area.
I also hope this means positive movement in UK productions, they've got a lot of talent.
The first release photos look amazing - the de-aging tech is getting better - and the bold decision to make an entire feature where the camera never moves must take a tremendous amount of VFX and editing technique to remain vibrant, in motion and interesting. I cannot wait to see this film (Zemeckis...

Agreed, Paul Rivers - the trailer looks so interesting.
Not in love with de-aging, but this looks like a proper experiment to check out from a great director!
I tried to show the trailer to my techie-obsessed husband last night and he freaked out saying, "I just can't stop staring at it!" LMAO!
Tom Lapke yup that's the main example i have of seeing it too haha

That’s awesome! I’m no editor, but even as a composer, Resolve has been an incredibly helpful tool and given me an opportunity to be a better collaborator in post production!

I'm so glad I switched to this tool when I did, one of the most complete software "swiss-army-knives" out there

You can get a feel for what the interface is like. It’s similar to most video editors like Premier or Final Cut, but IMO it’s a bit more intuitive and less daunting to dive deeper into it quite vast capabilities.
