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.

Mixing and matching - AI & Archival
Sharing a quick little video I edited for the 4th of July - first time using ElevenLabs for narration & also used a few clips generated with RunwayML Gen3. It was an interesting experience mixing all the formats. hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

Back to the Past
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.
Gladiotor 2 Trailer
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.

For years the first Gladiator was my favorite film, I'm hoping this one delivers as well.

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.
