Discover Everything You Need to Know to Make Killer Videos with a Flip Style Camcorder… In Under One Hour!
Using a flip style camcorder is easy – point and hit the big red button. Then when you review your footage, the video is shaky, the light is all wrong, and the audio quality sucks. Does this sound familiar to you?
Let the journey down the rabbit hole that is web video production begin…
Wasted Time and Lots of Frustration
I have lost countless hours of work spent Googling and being frustrated with these problems. Producing web video is the combination of several skill sets: pre-production, production (including acting), post-production (aka editing), and publishing. A weakness in any one area is very apparent in the final product you deliver to your viewers. It is a tough problem to swallow, especially if you bought a flip style camcorder under the expectation it would be quick and easy.
The Cost of Not Knowing
Truth is, you cannot afford not to be using web video to promote your business. Plus, unless you have bottomless pockets or ridiculous profit margins, it will be cost prohibitive to hire a professional videographer. In case you haven’t checked into the costs, you are looking at upwards of $1,500 to hire a professional to produce a simple 3 minute video for you (a video in which you are the talent), and significantly more if you want to hire an actor.
Doing it Yourself
I love the DIY approach, but it’s easy to make it harder than it needs to be. I found myself doing things the hard way until I found Dave Kaminski (WebVideoUniversity). After a quick chat with Dave, we gave each other complimentary accounts to our respective services and became cross-promotional partners shortly thereafter.
The Difference Between jiveSYSTEMS and WebVideoUniversity
I have been a member of WebVideoUniversity for several months now. By studying Dave’s tutorials, I have learned how to film and edit video for the web. If you are familiar with jiveSYSTEMS, you may be asking, What is the difference between WebVideoUniversity and jiveSYSTEMS?
- Our service is geared toward recording and sending video quickly, record and send simplicity, mainly geared toward webcam users.
- WebVideoUniversity is for businesses that want to produce video for the web using a flip style camera or higher, and want to edit their video to have graphics and transitions.
For example, when I am sending a communication to an individual or group, I will use jiveSYSTEMS because I can record and send the video quickly. Whereas, when I want to produce a video for a high traffic landing page or blog post, I use my camcorder, lights, and editing software (which WebVideoUniversity taught me how to use).
Within 30mins of joining WebVideoUniversity, I could edit and render my videos to a web-ready format, a skill I wasn’t able to master after many days Googling. It’s in the way Dave breaks things down that makes his tutorials and coaching so special. He gives you just the right amount of information in an easy to understand and apply format. As a member of his coaching group, you get email access to Dave.
I email Dave regularly to troubleshoot questions like:
- Does a matrox card accelerate encoding in Sony Vegas?
- How do I attach a shotgun microphone and light to my camcorder?
Despite trying, I have yet to stump him. Dave has also provided guidance that has helped us improve the encoding engines for our video email and web video marketing software. He’s the real deal!
His coaching program is not for everyone:
- it’s $100 per month to join
- not everyone has a need to go that far down the rabbit hole
Because of this, Dave has created an inexpensive mini-course which is a one-time payment of $49: Everything You Need to Know to Shoot Killer Video With a Flip Style Camera… In Under One Hour!
