      Title:
      Video Resources!
      Content:

      So at our first meeting we discussed resources on the web. As promised I have put together a list so that everything is at one place :) Please posts good ones that you find so that others are able to benefit as well!

      Free tutorial Sites

      • VideoCoPilot.net Andrew Kramer constantly updates this site with outstanding tutorials for After Effects. Go to the website and click Tutorials, there you will find 82 to date. All free! He has some products to for purchase and honestly they are VERY useful. Personal note, I think this is a bit more towards intermediate/advanced stuff. So be sure to check out his After Effects Basic Training at videocopilot.net/basic/ There you will find 10 lessons that will get any basic user up to speed!
      • Adobe.tv. Why wouldn’t this be a source of knowledge! Lots of good stuff here. Hardly any cons here; but if they had to improve one thing it would be the actual organization of data and layout. Best with good connection speeds. These are small cons for the huge amount of content at this site.
      • CreativeCow.net Another site thick with content for tutorials! They also have 9 different podcast, about half of which are video podcast. Also they have a magazine. The only real con here is organization of the videos, but a huge A+ in my book.
      • StudioDaily.comThe part of this I used was the printed magazine. I believe they are stopping the physical magazine (this month) and going purely digital. Not primarily an Adobe software resource probably more of a main focus is hardware. From that site it has links to film&video and HDStudio.

      • AETUTS Stumbled across this one after our meeting and Buck called me also bringing up this site. Check it out! It seems to be growing very fast also!

      Pay / Subscription Sites

      • Lynda.com Many video tutorials. Not a lot for advanced / experts IMHO. But will take you from beginner to intermediate fast!
      • Total Training.com Another site that offers decent video tutorials.

      • Digital JuiceLoads of goodies here folks. Add a ton of production value to your videos with pre-made lower thirds or animated backgrounds. The Sound Effects volumes and Stacktraxx are GREAT!

      • Smart Sound Sound stock

      Forums

      Tools for Filmmakers

      • Film Maker.com (url= http://filmmakeriq.com/) Nice site! When I posted this, the featured articles included: 1001 Adobe After Effects Tutorials; 144 After Effects Plug-Ins; and many more!

      • Micro Filmmaker Lots of tips and tricks. For a small fee they will give you a professional review of your work!

      • incompetech This guys is good... and NICE. Composes original music for you to use in your projects, all he asks in return is a credit and maybe a donation. The website could use a little bit of a face lift, but it is worth a visit! 

      Don't see something here that you use often and think the group might benefit from it... POST!

    • I've used all of the free tutorial stuff listed for a while now. Would camera makers be a "Tools for Filmmakers" Thing? Because if so, you should totally put the RED up there. www.red.com. If I had the money, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

    • I think that if we all had the money, we ALL would be shooting on RED :). I like the idea of putting stuff like www.red.com on a list, but I think perhaps when we do a 'hardware meeting' then a new list will go up and bet your butt RED will be mentioned ;)
