If you have Hi-8 footage, there are Sony “digital 8″ camcorders with Firewire …


Where can I find stock photos for use in video projects?


When moving footage is not available, don’t forget about still photos! You can animate still photos with motion and scale, crop them, apply filters (like sepia, B & W, color tint) and sometimes stills can fill empty spots in your timeline as well or even better than a video clip.
