I've downloaded some of the homemade music vids and I think they're cool, and I'd like to have a go at doing one. Any suggestions? Is there a noob page somewhere that would walk me through it? Thanks

The top level apps are avid, premier, & final cut pro (mac), (I use the latter 2.) There's heaps of others that are still very effective & don't cost anywhere as much. All these apps have their own forum by the way. Anyway here's a starting point: http://www.videohelp.com/ And do a google for what you're looking for. (By the way, video editing will require certain codecs depending upon what the target media is.)

I like that website. *Bows* Thanks Super Moderator.

I already have several movies on vcd and scvd. (been ripping just to back up my own collection*wink*) So I have that much of a headstart. I downloaded virtual dub *free ware*, and have started to play around with it. If I become vid obsessed I'll put some money out, but for right now I'm happy learning the basics on the site. Thanks

If you're actually going to create your own music videos from home so to speak, then you should have some reaonable quality audio editing apps. I frequently use Peak to do audio editing of audio tracks from video for one reason or another. There's also others that I use. Pro Tools, Deck, Cubase, there's heaps & heaps that you can use to create/& edit music.
