TUTORIALS and DEMOS

These videos may help with your filmmaking questions.

UPDATE: Premiere Elements 2.0 and Windows Movie Maker tutorials added!

PLEASE NOTE: The first three demos are done using Final Cut Express, which is an excellent entry-level editing/compositing program for Mac users. If you use Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Sony Vegas, CompositeLab or any other editing/compositing program you CAN accomplish the same results, but the commands will be different. (CompositeLab users please see helpful link below.) Please consult your manual index for "Compositing", "Greenscreen" or "Keying" instructions that will be correct for your program.

This video demonstrates the use of the effects pack designed for use with KAPOWWE toy shotguns. This pack is a free download from KAPOWWE.


If you can do muzzle flashes, you can do multi-layer compositing. This shows how to use our white-background Dert footage.
