I think it would be good to start him off with some program besides WMM. So I was wondering if you guys know of any program besides WMM that would be easy for a noob to use. I also was wondering if you guys could give me some other ideas of things I might need to show him. I'm teaching him about video and audio codecs. I'm showing him some of the best videos on here to show him what makes a good video. So if you guys could help it would be great. He should be making a account up here pretty soon. :D
Virtual DUB!! I made my first Linkin Ball video with it!! it's SO simple! you just prepare the clips, and put them together (useing the 'append avi segment') like a puzzle, via the file menu. After that it gets REALLY complicated. but really, this is probably the CLEANEST way possible (clean as in exactly the same as the source), if you don't use filters, you can just keep it in the RGB colorspace!!

I thought I was SO smart cuz I timed a few things... so a stopwatch is handy. Sure programs like Premeire are WAY easier, but the sense of accomplishment plus the unAVOIDABLE opinion that you get saying it sucks is INCREDIBLE. Mostly because your second video will be TONS better with alot less mess (useing a 'proper' digital editor) and alot less time, but you'll understand more.

I really think this is the best way.

But otherwise, if you just want a quick video, I'd d/l a premeire trial (or whatever editor YOU use)... and remember, it's his first video. He/ she will be THRILLED with it no matter what.

Erm... if you'd already showed him some really good ones than (and hopefully this won't happen) he may be depressed cuz his VDub masterpeice is not as good as those and will be TWICE as happy with his second one.

I don't really suggest you look at alot of good ones before your first video... but that's just how I did it.

I don't think it depressed him. I think it may have inspired him to make good videos. I remember the first time I saw Euphoria i said " I wanna be that good".

That, and forum ettiquete.
I'd put forum etiquette first, since with that this person would have much better luck getting on-the-spot help with a specific problem instead of generalized technique or theory.

Make him read all the tech guides. Knowing the theory and how to prepare his editing material. Editing comes only later.

Before asking, THINK!!! Have you read The Guides, consulted The Wiki and watched The Corn?
