The videos of yours that I have seen don't really make much sense to people outside of your religion. If you have a message you are trying to send I think you need a better way to send that message so those of us who don't understand what your culture is about can be informed.

Also, the quality of the videos is not that great. Your stuff looks like it was made on Windows Movie Maker. If you want to be taken seriously as a video professional then you need to have some professional software and know how to use it. I think you have some creative ideas, you just lack the tools and the basic knowledge of how video/film is put together. If you want to be a good filmmaker, you have to study film and the process behind it. Learn how to tell a story visually, Make it engaging and informative. Make it so your audience, not just yourself, will be drawn in and stay to watch. If you can't hold your viewers attention, they will not watch it for long.

You mention sharing software. If you mean sharing the software I paid money for, I can't help you. None of us can, nor would anyone on this site condone pirated software. We all worked to pay for what we have, I'm afraid you will have to do the same. Now if you want suggestions on what software to purchase, my vote is for a Macintosh computer running Final Cut Studio and Adobe CS4 (includes Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator).

If you want to go the PC route, Adobe CS4 (the same I mentioned above plus possibly Premier) and Sony Vegas for NLE if you don't want to use Adobe Premier.

That advice I can give you. My best suggestion is to visit www.videocopilot.net and watch Andrew Kramer's series of After Effects tutorials. Start with the basic training series if you are new to After Effects as it will teach you the fundamentals and allow you to keep up with him in the more advanced tutorials.

Also check out www.creativecow.net. Aharon Rabinowitz and Eran Stern (I think Andrew Kramer is in some of them as well) have a very good series of tutorials that cover a lot of useful techniques.

Those are two excellent sites and that is exactly where I went to learn details of navigating the software. I love how Kramer has the basic training and then a wide variety of popular "tricks." I still go back to those sites when I am trying to expand and do new things.

Same here, Andrew Kramer does stuff I would never have thought of doing with After Effects as well as doing things I always wanted to know how to do.
