Does anybody use the NCH Video Pad editor? How do I slow down that 3D text animation and why did the 360 degree still text at the end, not have a black background? I just can't figure out how to overlay these text on the video. But I love how the 3-D animated text let you chose a color, it just swipes up too fast. https://youtu.be/--_mj_ksbm4

I was truly honored to be named a one year trustee for the Action Riders of Franklin County Missouri today.

So if your working on a project that requires shooting video of bikers, you might want to check out their website or Facebook page.

I mean I was just named a trustee today, but I'm sure that we'd vote to use any compensation to help our community.

So why not get the footage you need, while helping suffering people in our community at the same time?

OK here's the basic run down. Since 2014 at Pay it Forward TV on You Tube, I been taking my camera and going to video interview local charities, benefits, and nonprofits or people paying it forward in one way or another.

And my talents to talk to anybody about any given subject on camera just doesn't translate to a audience with my lack of skills. I mean it has to be my lack of skills in editing and knowing how much b roll to show in editing and how or where to insert ambient music or just having a still image for a logo or opening credit spot.

Because I interviewed Jeremiah Johnson of the Jeremiah Johnson Band, who has had multiple #1 hits on the Blues Billboard charts, and that video only got like 200 views. I mean ya that was before getting a lighting set and the lighting was bad. But still how many nobody reporters can say they sat down with a blues legend and got a one on one interview?

Really all I want to do is interview awesome people that help other people and inspire others to pay it forward, while doing it. I'm not concerned about who owns my channel, if I ever make money, or if I have to work for somebody in doing so.

I mean I haven't made any profit doing this, because giving back is my passion, and it always will be. But who says that a nobody biker / part time liquor store clerk can't have a dream to one day get paid to do what I absolutely love doing?

So I made a profile on here hoping I could find a team, to email my videos and pics too after each interview, to edit and send back crediting myself and themselves on the video's. I mean I am the entire crew and host at the moment, and I think the video ministry is a great idea. It's just my lack of knowledge keeping it from blowing up and making my dream my day job.

I mean, even if I find help making this look professional, I wouldn't even know where to begin shopping it around to get a real series that pays. But for right now, I just need to find collaborators to be part of the Pay it Forward TV team. It is my vision but I'd gladly step aside and let someone else quarter back this thing.

I just wanna ride my motorcycle and video interview great people helping others, like that "Ride with Norman Reedus" series on TV with a pay it forward twist, and one day get paid to ride and kick it with awesome individuals helping others in their communities.

And my dream was for it to make enough that I'd be able to leave a donation from the show or it's sponsors. I'm not greedy or vain in ownership, but I need some help to get there.

Looking to collaborate with like minded people with skills in our video graphic arts acting and editing fields from the St Louis Missouri / Franklin County Missouri area. Because I been doing this video project since 2014 and I'm just a idiot biker with a camera and the passion to video interview people helping others whether it's a charity, a food pantry or just a benefit. But I need help because after all this time I just recently got a more proper video intro made for my you tube show and I'd like to hook up with people that can expand on that and eventually, I'd like to go behind the camera vs being the host and only crew person lol.

I'm it the only crew host camera guy editor and the only investor / sponsor for my You Tube channel. But video interviewing worthy causes and posting the videos is my passion. Even though I never been educated in my chosen field I love doing it. But I figure I been helped so much that it's my duty to share where people can find help and how that can donate their tine and or funds to a charity.

We offer several technological solutions so any movie maker will make a lot more money

Whats up Whats up Whats up STAGE 32 peeps? This is your friendly neighborhood channel creator / reporter from Pay it Forward TV on You Tube, LaryBud.. Anyways I wanted to see how many folks were also You Tube creator's how long you've been broadcasting, how many subscribers you have, and ask you to comment about what your channels focus is? Like for instance Pay it Forward TV focuses on the documenting the unselfish kind and charitable acts in my community then interviewing them about what their doing, I've been on You Tube for 2 1/2 years with just over 4,000 subbies, enjoying every second of my time interviewing some amazing folks. Now go ahead chime in and tell me about your channels feed and share your link.. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMDv24sIwDdwD8040P_TZ6w

I've written and produced four television shows. Published author. Now, writing full time as staff writer for major studio (yes paid.) Just finished first feature length script for first major film production. Have to keep much under wraps for now, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. I suppose its the best way however. Show, don't tell. So everyone will see soon enough. Best wishes to those trying to get to the next level. I'll be honest, its hard. It took me 11 years just to learn the craft of screenwriting, not to mention becoming mature enough to do this on an emotional, mental and even physical level. Discipline, is key. It was only recently last year around this time I took the risk and decided to go all in on my career. (Should've heard my wife's response at the time. lol )But if you hang in there, take your craft dead serious, it'll happen. Good to connect with you, Stage32. Hope to meet other creatives. Laters

I do interviews on my you tube channel named Pay it Forward TV and need some supplies to do a better job with my videos. How do I go about finding somebody to get a lap top and a good professional video editor program in exchange for saying Pay it Forward TV is sponsored by (...)? I could also use printed stuff as press passes for myself and my camera person, t shirts, biz cards, logos for my car doors and a back drop logo and a better video camera a like. But I just love interviewing people about helping out in our community and don't know anything about how to find sponsors for my own show. Any suggestions?

Ok people I just want to be totally up front, I like to write spirit filling stuff and I am the only employee of my you tube channle. I shoot the videos I do the interviews edit post and tag them. I just didn't want anybody thinking I've been doing this as an established industry worker. I only joined to find help reporting in other areas or helping me shoot segements and get some feedback my my reports or my writting. But I just obtained my GED and started my first college semester last year at 45 years old. I was addicted to alcohol and drugs for 33 years of my life, then I found God got clean and started towards Pay it Forward TV then started educating myself to make my show or ministry better. But I love to write and do my show so if I can be help for anybody please let me know. And please read some of my writing (one is on my comments on my wall I copied and pasted this from to start) It's entitled I Paul an evil iron horse warior.. It's the story of a kid that grew up evil became a contract killer nomad biker then died and return to be an angle. Or maybe you could just subcribe to my you tube channle Pay it Forward TV?
