Izzy Video tutorials make it easy to learn video.

Do you want high quality video lighting, but you’re limited to a small space?

This is a very common struggle for video shooters. A formal studio can be expensive to rent (or build). Also it can be inconvenient because it requires you to travel to it and maybe schedule it ahead of time.

If you’re like a lot of people, you might want to set up some lights in your house and shoot video where it’s inexpensive and convenient — right in the comfort of your own home.

But how can you create high quality lighting in a small space?

It’s simple if you use the right techniques and equipment.

Here’s how… (more…)

The close-up is the most important shot to master. Whether you’re shooting cine-style video, corporate video, family video, or really any kind of video.

In this new tutorial, I’ll show you:

• Several different types of close-ups, along with their names and how you can frame for them
• Tips on when you might use them
• Extra techniques along the way

I hope you find it helpful!

Ready for another in-depth Final Cut Pro X tutorial video?

This one digs deep into using the Ken Burns effect to add motion to photos. It’s easier than ever to do this because of the built-in tools inside Final Cut Pro X.

And since so many people make photo slideshows (also sometimes called photo montages) inside of Final Cut Pro X, I thought this one would be helpful.

In this video, I’ll show you:

• The basics of how to add and adjust the Ken Burns effect
• Time-saving tips that really speed up the workflow
• Extra hidden tips that aren’t included in the help manual (and that many people don’t know about)

It’s more than 10 minutes of solid training around this topic. I hope you find it helpful!

By the way, this is the 12th video about Final Cut Pro X that I’ve posted in the member’s area. If you’ve already seen my original Final Cut Pro X training, but you still want to learn more, you should check out an Izzy Video Membership too.

Once again it’s based on a common question I get about still frames and photos.

Some of the things I demonstrate in this new video:

• How to create a still frame
• How to create a still image (different thing)
• How to create custom keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow
• How to change the duration of a photo in the timeline
• How to change the default duration of photos you import

Yeah, there’s lots of stuff in there.

Once again I do my best to demonstrate these concepts in a way that’s
educational and (hopefully) entertaining.

I hope you find it helpful!

I’ve received several requests for behind-the-scenes looks at projects I work on. So for this new video, I’m doing just that.

The project is a short film called “Within”, and this video breaks down a specific shot.

Get answers to questions like these:

• What are some options for moving the camera during the shot? (And which option do I prefer?)
• What are some tips for setting up a moving shot?
• How did we solve an unexpected problem?

If you’re interested in moving the camera, or you’re interested in fun video equipment, I think you’ll like this new episode.

Enjoy!
