What do I need to make movies in SL?

I am now pre-planing my Burning Man project.

THIS IS HIGHLY PRIVATE - I WILL NOT SET UP ANY COMPANY IN SL THAT MAKE PRO MOVIES.

I seek al kinds of info about a software for MAC that I can use to produce a film about and around my BM project.

Please - any suggestion and links - are warm welcome!

The software should be a good one but easy to ustand - I cant read a manual

PS: The software must be used in hard surroundings as sand, mud and clear sun.. close to a dessert climate!

PetGirl,

I'm not sure that you're asking what software you need to capture video from SL or to post-produce a video from snippets captured from SL

In the first case, you can either use SL's built-in movie capturing application (Ctrl-Shift-A to start/stop, I believe), or, if you don't like it, use SnapZ Pro instead. It should be easy enough to install and use, although, in my case, I did read the manual first

For video post-production, I'm a great iMovie fan. It's free and comes pre-installed on your Mac; it works easily enough; there are a few special effects available and they're easy to apply; and you won't need to read any manual, it's simple to use!

Pros will use Adobe Premiere or Apple's Final Cut Pro and pay hundreds or thousands of US$ to get finely printed manuals to read for a few weeks until you understand how these work

I also loved to tinker a bit with EffectsLab Pro. It's a great post-production software, targetted to do special effects, and it's easier to use than any of the above mentioned video editing applications (and far cheaper!), although it's harder to use than iMovie! But it can do all sorts of amazing effects.

I hope that helps...
