Greetings to everyone on the wpsovet blog. A modern blogger cannot do without handy programs; you won’t get far with standard ones. On this moment I use several things that help me a lot in the Russian blogosphere. In future articles I will analyze each separately, so subscribe to blog updates.
My rating of the best.
FileZilla is a convenient file manager
FileZilla is a lightweight and reliable FTP manager, constantly updated and improved. 80 percent of webmasters use the utility. Easy to use and at the same time functional. The main feature I want to highlight is the use SSH protocol access (of course, other managers also have it), since no one has canceled security.
Fast Stone Capture helps you make screencasts and videos
– software for creating screenshots and video files. It was made by the developers specifically for bloggers; screenshots take up little space. An excellent editor, high-quality video recording and many more worthy applications. All screenshots, inscriptions on them, arrows and squares with highlights are the work of FSC. I don't like the shooting mode a little, but you can get used to it.
Distinctive features:
- Russian language
- Capturing an area of any complexity
- Video shooting
- An editor covering all needs
Photoshop picture editor
Of course Photoshop. The original paid program costs from $1000 and above; for us ordinary bloggers, you can use a hack. I launch it to create designs and all sorts of elements, of course, provided that you know how to use the utility.
Color mania determines color
Specifies the color element code. Suppose you saw some shade that you really liked and wanted to apply it, you need a code color range. Weighs less than a megabyte, works without writing in the registry. Any color will scatter in three different forms, is not replaceable when drawing pictures.
Riot fast image compression
Compressor for compressing photos, takes all popular formats. Compresses photos without loss of quality. I have been looking for such software for a long time, but no services or other software are suitable. The developers claim that they use revolutionary file compression technologies; you need to upload the original image and download the optimized image.
Attracts:
- Free
- Batch Processing
- Converting to other formats
- Visual comparison in the visual editor
NotePad++ code editor
NotePad++ popular editor for changing code, common among programmers and functional, with many plugins. The program does not have wide functionality, but it is fast and easy and is distributed free of charge.
Windows Movie Maker for video editing
A popular video file editor, built in by default in Windows up to version 7. Nobody knows why they stopped adding software to the assembly. For primitive and stable modification of video files, it is 100% suitable: cut, slow down, insert pictures, add music, cut tracks, add screensavers.
This concludes my list, I hope to be useful to you, and you will look at it with dignity and apply some of them in your projects. P.S. If anyone needs it, I can send you the links where I downloaded it or maybe I’ll give you the installation files themselves, write in the comments.
I made a tripod from scrap materials and recorded on a point-and-shoot, that’s long gone. Today, in addition to ideas and charisma, a video blogger needs a set of several gadgets. We have made a selection for beginners that will help you not go broke, but at the same time provide young talent with all important devices to gain popularity.
Camera
Classic photo and video cameras today have finally moved into the segment of highly specialized devices for professionals, which children are clearly not. But it will be very difficult to shoot materials for a blog without a separate device, so we advise you to pay attention to affordable action cameras that are protected from water and falls. They will be able to record everything from seaside holidays to bike rides. In addition, the specific wide-angle picture from such cameras has already become fashionable among bloggers. As for the nuances, for young stars it is advisable to choose a model with the largest number of fasteners included, without paying attention to the cheapest models - they shoot worse than an old Siemens phone. Here are a couple of worthy candidates with aquaboxes included - AC-Robin ZED1 and SJCAM SJ5000.
AC-Robin ZED1 - 5990 rub.
SJCAM SJ5000 - 6990 rub.
Tripod
An indispensable accessory for any camera, allowing you to capture a frame and record beautiful static shots on video. There are many options - from cheap aluminum to expensive professional ones for the price of a set of tires for the car. Among all this variety, it is better to choose an affordable tabletop option or a flexible tripod with balls instead of legs - it can be fixed to any protrusion, from a horizontal bar to tree branches. For example, this one is RECAM ECOPOD E134 or Joby GorillaPod SLR Zoom.
RECAM ECOPOD E134 - 1099 rub.
Joby GorillaPod SLR Zoom - RUR 2,760
There are video tutorials for beginner bloggers on Generation M. This is a project for talented children and teenagers, in which Russian stars teach skills in a variety of creative fields. Future YouTube “tops” will definitely benefit from a master class from the famous TV presenter Ksenia Sokolyanskaya and blogger, director of the SMM agency Ksenia Dukalis. Here you can post your video, participate in the competition and win cool prizes.
Memory cards
Videos require a lot more space than you might think. A five-minute recording from a camera will easily take two gigabytes, so it’s worth buying a spacious 32 gigabyte memory card, paying attention to the recording speed. Manufacturers indicate it in classes. The fourth grade is suitable only for taking photographs, and video cameras need 10th grade cards in order to have time to record videos in high resolution like SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class10.
SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class10 - 999 rub.
Laptop
A tablet was more than enough for the child to play with toys and watch videos, but it would hardly be possible to process and edit videos without a computer. It’s great if you are ready to share your PC or laptop with your child, especially since the process of joint editing can result in excellent team building. If circumstances do not allow it, but the budget, on the contrary, allows it, you will have to consider purchasing a separate device.
A laptop will be more convenient, since the stationary version takes up much more space and you can’t take it with you. As for the characteristics, there is no limit to perfection for video processing, but you should at least focus on having an Intel Core-i3 processor or higher. The video card for basic editing does not matter, but it increases the temptation to be distracted by games. Suitable options- HP 15-bs028ur and Acer Travel-Mate TMP238-M-31TQ.
HP 15-bs028ur - 27,390 rub.
Acer Travel-Mate TMP238-M-31TQ - RUR 30,850
Microphone
If you and your child decide to pay attention to content with voice acting, do not skimp on the purchase separate microphone, capable of recording a wide range of sound frequencies. Microphones built into equipment are often designed only to record quiet voices, while separate accessories allow you to record everything that happens around you without distortion. You should choose from a wide range of music manufacturers, but there are also interesting options among the electronics giants. The microphones we offer can easily be connected to a smartphone and computer or a professional camera - Audio-Technika ATR-3350 or Panasonic RP-VC201E-S.
Audio-Technika ATR-3350 - 2590 rub.
Panasonic RP-VC201E-S - 999 rub.
Blogging opens up unprecedented scope for your child’s creativity, but young talents will probably need your help in mastering editing skills. Even after recording what is happening on the computer screen using the Fraps program, before uploading the video, you should trim off unsuccessful takes and unnecessary pieces. The SolveigMM Video Splitter program does an excellent job of cutting and splicing videos, but it’s better to start mastering basic editing with special effects in the Sony PlayMemories application, after which you can already think about buying Sony Vegas. In practice different programs a lot, choose the one that suits your child and yourself.
Smartphone
Of course, this is one of the main tools of a blogger, which is always at hand. Already many available devices have very decent cameras and the ability to expand memory using microSDXC flash drives. And if there is a high-speed mobile internet Finished videos can be uploaded immediately after recording. So if the budget is very limited and you can’t buy everything on the list, a smartphone will be able to replace many gadgets.
Hello everyone, friends and guests of my blog. As usual, I am in touch with you, Alexander Bykadorov, and today I will touch on a very important (how else) topic.
All of us, being at different stages of building an online business, constantly encounter various technical difficulties. Today we will talk about the technology and programs that are necessary for a beginner blogger.
Techniques and programs for a beginner blogger: h what to use and how much does it cost?
Need to record a video - what microphone and camera should I use? How much does a good microphone cost? Which program is best for creating slides? Which programm….
Well, in general, you understand me...
In the process of such creativity, a large number of questions may arise. Only after a certain time, when it is already broken a certain amount of firewood, we can already say with confidence - I’m rummaging around in this, but for now...
That is why I decided to write this post. It will primarily be addressed to those who have just decided to try themselves in the information business. To be honest, I don’t consider myself a newbie at this, but the set that I will describe here is still used by me.
Moreover, the investments that I invested in all this will shock some. Why - read the post and you will understand what I mean)))
So today I will talk about:
- How much does a great microphone cost for good audio recording?
- What should I use to record video and what external microphone should I use?
- What programs should I use to record a free video course or webinar?
- software cost.
This is the list of subtopics I came up with.
As comments appear, I will draw up a general picture of the issues that I hope will arise again and will make a further conclusion about the need/not need to add additional material on a particular program, which needs to be considered in more detail in future posts on my blog.
For those who for some reason came to me for the first time, I want to say that I have a special section of my blog in which I analyze in detail this or that program, driver, device.
Therefore, I will repeat once again - if you have any questions, write. The program, device, driver (etc.) that gets the most questions and will become my subject for research.
So let's get down to business.
How much does a great microphone cost for good audio recording?
I dug through quite a lot of material on the Internet to draw certain conclusions for myself.
What kind of microphone should a beginner have? Of course, it’s good to record clearly and without interference. This is understandable and quite logical. But there is a small discrepancy here: “good” and “for a beginner”….
Would a person who just yesterday decided to record his first video or screencast spend a significant amount to buy a microphone, costing, for example, $150? No! Will not be.
And therefore, meet the “clothes-clip” microphone, or in other words, the Genius MIC - 01C lapel microphone with a completely unrealistic price... are you ready to hear the price?
150 rubles!
You can search Additional information, look at the reviews, but I assure you that in terms of price/quality, finding something more realistic is not realistic))
And therefore, “editor's choice” - MIC 01 C.
Here is an example entry:
(built-in laptop microphone)
(lamel microphone MIC 01)
Feel the difference - great!
It was with the help of this microphone that I recorded my free video course and I think it is of decent quality.
Before this, there was a paid course that I recorded on a plantronics audio 995 radio headset, but its transmitter, which is inserted into the USB connector, “died.” That's why the question of choosing a microphone separately arose.
So, we decided on the microphone. Now you know what I use to record audio, or rather from which microphone.
What should you use to record video and what external microphone should you use?
You probably already understood, dear reader, that in this post I will talk about very budget devices that are simply “vitally” necessary for a beginner. Then, when you feel your strength and desires, you can buy something more worthy, but for now...
So far I haven’t really had any situations where I needed to shoot a super video, and so for recording I use a regular point-and-shoot camera from Kodak, which I bought probably about 5 years ago.
Then I didn’t think about the blog, about writing, I didn’t think about anything at all)) I bought it so that by pressing just one button I could take pictures, take pictures...
But then, when I purchased the tripod that I talked about (I bought it on Ebay), I realized that it was quite sufficient for recording home videos. The main thing is to guess with the light.
Therefore, I invite you to my channel on YouTube, See the videos posted there that I made using this camera. By the way, it is advisable to switch to 720 HD quality there. It turns out quite worthy. Moreover, you have to constantly maneuver between quality/volume.
Therefore, friends, an ordinary camera/smartphone is quite suitable for starting. The main thing here is not quality, but rather content. Although quality is important)))
Here's an example:
What programs should I use to record a free video course or webinar?
Here is a photo of part of my desktop.
Let me list what programs are included in a blogger’s “daily diet”)))
- WebMoney Classic- I think it’s clear why. Not that I use it every day, but still. Send prize money for a competition, receive affiliate rewards, this program allows you to do all this.
- Any Video Converter r is a very necessary program in the work. Having shot a video, I run it through this program, achieving the desired size, while monitoring the quality of the resulting video. See the review on it
- Macromedia Dreamweaver- a program that helps in “picking” codes different pages. I used it quite often before, until I bought an excellent service with which I create excellent pages in a few hours. How can I quickly Russify this program?
- AutoPlay Media is an excellent program for creating menus for your future courses.
- Site Auditor is an excellent program that helps track the position of an article in search results for certain key queries. Fast, updated. Super!
- Blog positions. This is not a program, it is an ordinary Excel file into which I enter key queries and positions of various articles, based on relevance and data from the Site Auditor program. This way I know what position I have in a particular post. Are you conducting a similar analysis? If anyone is interested, I can tell you more about this.
- Total Commander or Filezilla — file manager. Without him - nowhere. Wrote about him
- Shortcut Sound Recording. I use the usual built-in Windows service to record sound. I'm quite happy with it.
- Camtasia Studio 7— I process, trim, glue slides, audio tracks and videos, all in this program. I really like it and use it often. I think she needs to be given a separate discussion.
- Insofta Cover Commander— using this program you can make 3D covers of your courses and notes. It is necessary in everyday life of a blogger, although not often.
- EverNote— I write down my thoughts and ideas here, although not often. I usually use paper, a voice recorder and Word files for this.
I usually make slides for presentations, video courses, and webinars using Power Point. Then I “roll” them into graphic form and then into Camtasia. All you have to do is record video or audio and you're done.
Software cost.
This is the list. Most importantly, all or almost all programs have free access. Well, if you have problems with where to get them, write, I will help in any way I can.
The main thing is to start understanding them a little at a time if you are really going to eventually become an information businessman. Why?
I don't think that at the very beginning, you will be hiring freelancers or other technical specialists.
Over time, your priorities will develop into something else, you will acquire more expensive and high-quality equipment, but for now...
For now, what I have given in this post and the help of a friend who you can ask or find out is enough.
That's all, friends. I hope the post was useful. What do you think? Write your thoughts in the comments, I’ll be glad to chat.
What does a video blogger need to buy to record his video channel?
If you record vlogs, you are of course faced with choosing the best and necessary things to purchase for quality content. These are cameras and accessories for them.
In this article we will analyze a set for a blogger who runs his channel on the move.
For example, you need to make your notes while traveling on the go, while walking, or driving a vehicle.
Those who watch novice bloggers often see shaky images, unnecessary noise, and an interesting blogger-storyteller is lost behind all the filming defects.
If you feel a real passion for your favorite thing - video blogging - do not put off buying the essentials.
Option for recording vlogs.
1. Action camera like GoPro
EKEN Eken H9R with remote control.
The most optimal camera option with recording, inexpensive in price and quality: Ultra HD 4K wi-fi 1080 P/60fps
Reviews: Good quality video and photo, large applications. a good choice accessories.
It is better for beginners to choose with remote control Eken H9R camera, as you can record video and take photos by pressing the remote control if your camera is mounted on a monopod, car, or simply on a head mount, bicycle or motorcycle helmet.
The camera is equipped with wi-fi for viewing images on a smartphone or iPod.
If you have some more money— I recommend filming with a GitUp camera. Personally, I shoot with cameras with 90 degree lenses Git2P 90 lens - since in this case there is no FISH-EYE distortion effect. Also, these GitUp action cameras have, in addition to an inexpensive price, a remote control, as well as characteristics similar to GoPro and a mini USB connection, which allows you to shoot in the cold season, which is what I’m talking about
2. Monopod.
Monopod yunteng 188
If you want to immediately be a more mobile video blogger, who wants a monopod with a larger load, for example, to use a steadicam type 3-axis stabilizer for cameras like GoPro Zhiyun Z1-Rider2 - then the yunteng 188 monopod is what you need!
3. Chest mount.
4. WenPod X1 single-axis stabilizer for smartphones and GoPro cameras.
The cheapest of the stabilizers, which gives an undeniable advantage to video images even from the cheapest action cameras or smartphone, so as not to “irritate” viewers with shaky videos and quickly bring your videos to the professional level of video bloggers!
3-axis stabilizer for cameras like GoPro Zhiyun Z1-Rider2 Manual Gimbal.
- video stabilizer, which is several times more expensive than the previous one, but also with better stabilization and characteristics. With this Steadicam, the viewer sees a smooth picture when walking and running!
The best stabilizer for action cameras with the ability to place the camera both on the chest mount and on the head. motor transport.
You can record vlogs at a professional level while walking around the city, recording tourist spots and just the surroundings of your city or village. Voice recording can be done either with an external microphone or with an external lavalier microphone.
The manufacturer claims that the stabilizer can work for a minimum of 3 hours, a maximum of 5 hours. For those who want to increase the capacity, there is an additional tube holder that increases the length of the stabilizer stick and replacement batteries 18350 by 18650.
Placement on the helmet.
Place the camera on the car using a suction cup.
Adapter for Zhiyun Z1-Rider to hold GoPro Hero 5 camera
Possibility to recharge the camera from the stabilizer to increase shooting time.
Choosing equipment is a difficult task for any video blogger. You need to stay within your budget, but still buy everything you need. What can and should you buy to shoot high-quality video? Let's answer this question.

Send
Take off good video For a blog, you can, if you come up with an interesting topic and its presentation, behave correctly in front of the camera, and also use the available equipment correctly. Then the “picture” will be good, and the plot will interest viewers. We have already talked about this. But special attention needs to be paid to additional equipment. Without anti-shake or proper lighting, it's difficult to create a good video that people will want to watch.
Light
First level. The simplest thing is to make the lighting yourself. For example, you can buy a couple of ordinary lamps with LED lamps or another source of white cold light with a color temperature of 5500K. Supplement these lamps with a photo umbrella or homemade reflectors made of foil and cardboard. The resulting design is able to provide the clear and bright light needed for shooting.
Please note that you should not buy fluorescent and halogen lamps. Due to the characteristics of the spectrum of the first lamps finished video will have a greenish tint. And the latter heat up very much. The blogger will sweat, and even makeup won’t help.
Total:
- Two luminaires with cold light LED lamps with a color temperature of 5500K
- Photo umbrella or homemade reflector made of foil and cardboard
Average level. Homemade products are being replaced with higher quality materials. In particular, softboxes and photo umbrellas are purchased.
In addition to them, you need to take professional halogen lights with a power of 250-500W. For example, GreenBean Fresnel 300. Whenever possible, lighting stands are used to allow optimal placement of light sources. If the brightness is too high, a diffuse filter is used, which “softens” the light, as well as reflectors. Typically, the light is placed in such a way that one powerful lamp acts as the main source, while the others perform the functions of flood and back light. This arrangement is called “three-point lighting.” It allows you to achieve uniform and eye-pleasing illumination of the main scene, eliminates annoying shadows and unevenly lit areas, and adds volume to objects in the frame.
Total:
- Constant light source - three halogen illuminators with a power of 250-500W
- Softbox and photo umbrella
- Reflector and diffuser
- Stands for light sources
Advanced level. Experienced bloggers use different light sources and modifiers. One of the selection criteria is the color rendering index (CRI). For high-quality equipment, it should be no lower than 90, and a maximum of 100. The higher the number, the more natural the color of the object turns out, as if it were illuminated by the sun and not by a lamp. LED panels are used as sources of diffused light, which can illuminate the background and allow for modeling lighting. They are powerful but adjustable. Therefore, it is convenient to adjust the desired brightness level. Expensive models have their own filters and reflectors. When the panel is turned on, the light is repeatedly reflected from the diffusing material, making it soft and diffused. On-camera lighting is also very interesting, because it gives you the opportunity to shoot outside the studio. It mounts directly to the camera, providing rich illumination and stable color temperature. Such equipment is expensive, but after it there is practically no need for color correction.
Total:
- LED panels with a CRI index of at least 90, equipped with reflectors, filters and other accessories
- On-camera light sources
- Lighting stands
- Softbox
- Color filters and attachments for light sources
Sound
First level. Many bloggers-streamers make do with a standard headset, that is, headphones with a microphone. They are cheap, and at the same time there are specimens with good sensitivity. When image is more important than sound, this option is quite suitable. You can also use an external clip-on microphone. At a price of 150-300 rubles, it has a good level of noise reduction and sensitivity. It is also invisible in the frame and easy to operate. It is better not to use a microphone that is built into the camera/photo/smartphone. There will be too much extraneous noise.
Total:
- Headset, clip-on microphone, or microphone built into the camera
Average level. Having gained experience working with video and sound, you can think about how to achieve greater clarity and purity of sound. Wired audio recording systems can help with this. Among them are condenser microphones. They make the voice more alive, filling it with colors and preserving all the shades of spoken language. There is a cheaper option, shotgun microphones. Such devices record sound from a source within sight. Where the microphone is pointed, it records.
Total:
- Shotgun microphone
- Condenser or pulse wired microphone
Advanced level. Professionals readily use condenser microphones or wireless devices like the Sennheiser EW 345-G3-A radio systems.
They are sensitive, cover a wider range of frequencies and transmit more reliable sound. Additionally, various accessories are installed, such as a pop filter that filters out extraneous noise and “clack” sounds that occur when recording sound. If you are using a wired microphone, you can hang it on a stand using a spider holder so that the sound is recorded, but the microphone does not enter the frame. In some cases, an on-camera microphone is used. It works on a similar principle to a shotgun microphone and is equipped with a filter low frequencies and is able to regulate the level of the incoming signal. To achieve better sound, the room in which the filming is taking place is lined with soundproofing materials.
Total:
- Wireless radio system with noise canceling functions
- Pop filter
- Spider holder
- On-camera microphone
- Soundproofing materials for rooms
Image stabilization
First level. To avoid camera shake, it is best to mount it on a tripod. If you don't have a tripod, you can use any flat surface. An ironing board works great. It sounds funny, but it is used even by journalists who need to quickly film a report and there is no videographer nearby. If video jitter cannot be avoided, you can use software stabilizers. Among them, Warp Stabilizer, Deshaker and proDAD Mercalli are very popular.
Total:
- Ironing board or other stable, flat surface
- Tripod
- Software stabilizers
Average level. Experienced video bloggers use tripods and monopods, as well as handheld stabilizers to mechanically reduce vibrations during filming.
Moreover, tripods can have floating heads, ensuring smooth sliding of the camera. Optical and digital stabilizers, which are available in additional camera lenses, have also proven themselves to be quite good. But here it is important to remember that digital ones need good lighting, otherwise the output will be a low-quality video.
Total:
- Floating head tripod
- Monopod
- Hand and waist stabilizers
- Optical and digital stabilizers
- Software stabilizers
Advanced level. To shoot high-quality video, more complex equipment is used. In particular, two- and three-axis stabilizers, steadicams, camera cranes, shoulder rests and body kits. You can also use rail and motorized sliders, which allow the camera to smoothly approach or move away from the subject. Of particular interest are modular systems type Manfrotto 595B. They provide the ability to smoothly stabilize a DV camera and serve as a base for mounting accessories, including remote controls, microphones, mixers, lights, monitors, and joysticks.
Total:
- 2- or 3-axis stabilizers
- Steadicam
- Rail or motorized slider
- Camera crane
- Shoulder rest and body kits
- Modular systems for camera mounting and accessories
Shooting
First level. For pilot videos, a smartphone, a web camera or a regular point-and-shoot camera that can shoot in HD resolution is sufficient. It is much more important in this situation to install the camera correctly so that it is located at a sufficient distance from the subject, does not fall to one side and does not shake. We have already talked about how to avoid tremors a little higher. If shooting will be carried out using different devices, take into account the difference in color rendering different models. Then, during editing, it will be possible to stitch the picture together without annoying artifacts and sudden color changes.
Total:
- A smartphone, webcam or camera capable of shooting in 720p resolution.
Average level. It is believed that shooting with a GoPro camera is at the level of experienced and well-promoted bloggers. A good example - "Khach's Diary", which is hosted on YouTube by Amiran Sardarov. Most videos are shot with an action camera. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Sometimes you need to organize shooting in calm conditions. And for this they are used SLR Cameras with good optics like Canon 50mm 1.4 or Canon 70-300mm 4.0-5.6 IS USM, or inexpensive camcorders. Let us once again emphasize the importance of additional optics. It usually has a wide and fast lens, as well as an optical stabilizer. This allows you to achieve high image quality.
Total:
- GoPro camera
- DSLR or inexpensive camcorder
- Additional fast lenses
Advanced level. Popular bloggers use top camera models like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and Sony Alpha a7S, as well as camcorders capable of shooting in 4K resolution
They provide a clear and rich picture, have wide functionality and can be complemented with various accessories such as a mixer, backlight and diffuser. When choosing equipment, the technique and location of shooting play a huge role. And also - the requirements of the blogger himself, which he places on the devices he uses.
Total:
- Top-end camera or camcorder
- Mixers and other accessories
- Additional fast lenses with stabilizers
Background
First level. As a background simple will do white sheet, light wall, beautiful photo wallpaper. There is no need to come up with something with the background until it is clear how interesting the blog itself will be.
Total:
- Bed sheet, light wall or photo wallpaper
- Mount for fixing the background
Average level. The background is a fabric green chromakey, which hangs on a handmade or purchased holder. There are mobile and folding holders different sizes, which allows you to select the desired height and length depending on the size of the room in which you are shooting. It is important to avoid clothing with shades close to the background color. Otherwise, it may be accidentally deleted in the video editor along with the background.
Total:
- Green fabric chromakey
- Handmade or purchased background holder
- Lack of colors in clothes that are close to the background color
Advanced level. Two types of chromakey are used: blue and green.
Blue chromakey in professional filming. Before
Blue chromakey in professional filming. After
The background is selected depending on the presenter's clothing, the materials and lighting he uses, as well as the camera used to film. In addition, paint or chromakey clothing can be additionally used. You can see why it is needed in this video. Objectively speaking, the color of chromakey can be different. It's just that green and blue are the most common.
Total:
- Chroma key blue, green or other color
- Chroma key paint or clothing
- Background holders stationary, mobile or folding
Software for working with video
First level. XMedia Recode, VirtualDub. The programs are free and quite functional. Support batch processing video, plug-ins, integrated filters, simultaneous work with multiple audio tracks, convert audio and video to any formats and are capable of processing files larger than 2GB.
Total:
- XMedia Recode
- VirtualDub
Average level. Shotcut, Lightworks, Movavi Video Editor. The first two programs are free, the third has a free trial period. Very rich functionality. They support video stabilization, picture-in-picture format, recognize bitrate, have their own audio tools, and work with video up to 4K format.
Total:
- Shotcut
- Lightworks
- Movavi Video Editor
- Similar software with similar functionality
Advanced level. Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Sony Vegas Pro, Pinnacle Studio.
Expensive software that has everything you need to create high-quality video products. Fully compatible with video recordings of various formats in 4K and 3D resolution. The program libraries contain more than 2,000 different 2D and 3D effects, and an integrated audio editor allows you to quickly process audio tracks.
Total:
- Apple Final Cut Pro
- Adobe Premiere Pro CC
- Sony Vegas Pro
- Pinnacle Studio
- Similar software with similar functionality
Computers
The only section in which there will be no gradation by level. The device on which the video will be mounted is required to good performance and the ability to work with heavy programs. Accordingly, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient quantity random access memory, a powerful processor and a powerful video card.
Let us emphasize once again that equipment for a video blogger is selected based on his experience, as well as his goals and objectives. You should not immediately choose expensive and advanced equipment. Although, in the case of lighting devices or stabilizers, it makes sense to choose a more expensive and better device. The exact list of equipment used, necessary for shooting a video, is determined by you. Try, experiment, and everything will work out!
