The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

It may be useful to know what tech/software is required to edit the footage...

i use final cut pro but we scaled down the graphics so it could be used on most programmes.

Here's my question for MarkH - you obviously care about AFCRDTV. Will you volunteer to help run it?

No because I have no video editing skills. If I did have then I would have offered my services way before being this close to the start of the season.

I guess Windows Movie Maker could do the job? Anyone with a bit of time on their hands could figure that out, it's freely downloadbe I think although not supported on Windows 10.

If you happen to have access to Final Cut Pro then that would work as Bozzer has mentioned. Adobe Premiere Pro would also work, that's part of the Adobe Creative Suite package.

It's very easy to find a reason why you can't do something. Why not give it a try?

Not sure how much I'll be able to help in the filming of the game as I most likely won't be at many of them. However, I do own a copy of Adobe Premiere Elements and am willing to give it a go if needed! I probably won't be able to do all the games due to uni but I'd do what I can.

One option might be to ask anyone going on the coach if they would help with filming (even on the day). It may not work, but personally approaching people for help might sway a few.

It would be a blow for the club to lose this, since it is another way in which the club can communicate to fans, as well as market itself to a wider audience.

Whilst the call is for four more volunteers, ideally how many do you need on a matchday minimum and how many do you currently have signed up to do AFCRDTV?

I live in Australia. The only time I get to see my team play is on Youtube. I need someone to film the matches, or else I just find out about the club via Twitter or Facebook, which is very unsatisfactory.

Thanks to all who have worked on footage in the past, your work is appreciated.

I don't think that's really going to work, a) most in the coach are volunteers in another shape or form and b) I don't really want another job of having to go up and down the coach begging for someone to film whilst everyone feels awkward and says no.

In fact I don't want to be having to beg, and persuade people. As those that have done it in the past can vouch you don't have to be technically savvy, you point the camera and zoom in and out that's really all there is to it. As for editing, again I had no experience whatsoever of this but i sat at a computer and learnt with YouTube videos how to do it.

The call was for four more as we have 4 at the moment to film, but we only have myself and possibly one other to edit. I have put a rota together so anyone who has expressed and interest can be added if the email me and even if they can only do 20 minutes filming once a month it all helps. However on the rota at the minute for next week is me filming 3/4 of the match, filming the interviews and doing the editing. If that is how it is going to go every week I won't be doing it.
