Whewwwww, what a bit of fun we’ve had over the past week or so.<\/p>\n
Opening up and sharing the non-business side of our life, via music-driven video montages, has prompted a lot of you to instantly hit the REPLY button on your email.<\/p>\n
We’ve received quick comments, at our support desk, like:<\/p>\n
“Holy smokes, you both have an amazing, fun-filled, relaxing, enviable life behind the scenes<\/em><\/strong>.” (Thanks… it truly just SEEMS like we ONLY work our butts off, in a sincere, frantic kind of way, all day and all night).<\/p>\n “It’s good to see both of you like that… I’m used to perceiving you as the interviewers and writers shaking things up a bit… but, the Love Without Limits vids you did but a big fat smile on my face… feel like I know you much better now<\/em><\/strong>.” (You’re welcome. But, just wait till you corner us at a seminar or live event and tell us you brought us some high-priced cheese. Yep, just remember that. We love the good stuff).<\/p>\n “Cheers to you and Heather, your soul mate, you guys are too damn cute on that video!<\/em><\/strong>” (We didn’t mean to be… we’re just made that way. Yes, the pleasure of making them were all ours).<\/p>\n “Now you went and done it… created a sappy, but heart-warming, love video, and now my wife’s gonna expect one<\/em><\/strong>.” (No worries, this post will save the day for ya).<\/p>\n So, while the congrats and Atta-boy \/ Atta-girl replies came rushing into our support system, another kind of reply topped the list of tickets last week.<\/p>\n The theme went something like this:<\/em><\/p>\n “I will so owe you big time if you tell me what program you used to create those videos!” … and… “Wow, what video player \/ hosting service are you using to embed the videos on your LWL blog?” … and… “Can I pay you to create some montages for me? I have a lot of family videos, and I need some direction on where to start?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Basically, the “How To” questions piled up.<\/p>\n So, in this blog, we’re going to REVEAL two things:<\/p>\n #1)<\/strong> The video editing software we used to CREATE Love Without Limits, Part 1 & 2, and the video conversion \/ hosting service we’ve been using for over a year, with great results.<\/p>\n #2)<\/strong> The name of two entrepreneurs, who after they experienced first-hand the difficulties of mixing and sharing video, created a little-known free site (so few people know about it, but need to) for making the video process — from creation, editing, effects, and conversion, to hosting and sharing — fast, fun and rewarding ! Your grandmother, or anyone even with a smidgen of computer experience, could use this site to output eye-popping video \/ photo montages.<\/p>\n Read on (and see our third montage video) by clicking the “continue reading..” link. You’re going to love the resources we’re sharing with you so you can do what we’ve done (and even better).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ===========<\/p>\n Adobe Premiere Element 4.0<\/strong><\/p>\n If we do in-house raw video editing, clipping \/ cutting, adding effects, transitions, etc, we start with Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0.<\/p>\n It’s certainly part of the enthusiast-level \/ home-user class of video editing suites (iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas); yet, it far surpasses, in our opinion, any of the products in this class.<\/p>\n We got it as part of an Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 bundle, when we bought a recent Laptop from Dell.com.<\/p>\n The program works well for beginning editors, and has many useful features such as editing video, adding titles, adding musical accompaniment, and adding voice-overs. It can save products on DVDs and for web-sharing on YouTube.<\/p>\n It’s intuitive, has an extensive help menu, and is cost-effective (around $80 at Amazon.com).<\/p>\n OurVideoHub.com<\/strong><\/p>\n We’ve been looking for a one-stop-stop learning resource in reference to all things video<\/em> for a long time.<\/p>\n It had to be a place where the owner has a genuine, all-consuming passion for researching, sifting, sorting, and passing on the BEST tools, tips, and techniques to help us utilize web video in our business.<\/p>\n We basically wanted to find somebody that does in the video arena what we do in the spiritual-growth \/ human-potential arena: live, eat, sleep and breath their We found that person in Joe Chapuis.<\/p>\n He absolutely provides the best-of-class “how to” monetize-video info on the net.<\/p>\n He’s an intelligent, forward-thinking, all-around likable business man who has put together a niche video RESOURCE site you’ll want to go to often.<\/p>\n And, here’s the best part: he provides his members with one of the most interactive, and feature-rich video-players available. And, it comes with hosting too.<\/p>\n
