Making Videos
So Tim uses some sweet graphics on some of his videos, and mediahouse has some sweet countdowns but they are all like 15 bucks, and I cant justify that for a 3 minute video when I feel I can make it. The problem is, what program do you need to use to make videos like what worship house and others do? Is Media shout what I need? I thought that was more for power points, and even still, how do I make the backgrounds to use in media shout? Sorry if this doesnt make sense, hopefully someone can help.

Making stuff is very time consuming, plus most software that you can make quality videos with has a very steep learning curve. Although my favorite by far are Adobe products, I would almost always suggest that someone new to it try to exhaust other resources before sinking the time and money into learning something totally new.
One thought would be to check out a program called WAX. Wax is a FREEware/open-source video editing program that also allows you to perform 3d text animations etc. I think it's comparable to older versions of Sony Vegas, which is a popular editor. It's far more advanced than iMovie or Movie Maker, and yet... it's FREE.

I have a mac and use imovie... its a big upfront cost... but I believe its worth it... I have a student making highlight videos for each week that we play for the students to get them excited.... I recently started making Pre-sermon videos.... i found that its pretty easy (takes time) but they are alot of fun and I don't spend anymore money on them, as in, i don't pay 15 bucks for them... i make them or a student makes them... |

Buying the videos is going to be WAY cheaper than producing them yourself. Things like the intro to Tim's videos were done, most likely, in After Effects, which runs about $1,000. It's hard to do good video graphics for cheap. |
