ProMovie Recorder vs. FiLMiC Pro... good alternative?

Filmic Pro is very cheap for a huge amount of value, if you don't have $20 to spend on making an already budget option a feasible one, you aren't invested enough into making videos.

Made for feminists who themselves don't support and watch it. Just like WNBA.
Is the Humble Bundle "Vegas Edit 21" and "Movie Studio 2024" the full Vegas Pro?
Main Post:
I have always enjoyed using the Vegas video editor since it was Sony Vegas back over a decade ago. I've always used the... ahem... free version because it is just for silly personal things, but at $43 I'd be happy to finally support the company.
But... is it the full version I am used to or some lighter/simpler version? I don't need to do anything crazy but like to have multiple tracks, keyframed overlays, motion tracking, etc.
Thanks.
Top Comment: I believe it's the full version yes. I own the humble bundle version and it's a perpetual license which you can just install whenever you want. You basically own it for life.
Just watched Submerged - New Apple Immersive Movie - my thoughts **no spoilers**
Main Post:
Overall I absolutely loved it, it was shot very well, colours were nice and to see an immersive movie shot at the level of quality was amazing.
This is pure info for people and the views are my own opinion and nothing is right or wrong here.
Types of shots - you have level full BMD/Apple immersive cam shots (full 180 FOV) & you have vignetted stereo close ups from another camera system (potentially two camera with lenses that offer high depth of field that you simply can’t get with a dual lens system.)
Movement - there are some slow dolly movements forwards and there are fast forwards and backwards dolly shots which for me actually felt surprisingly comfortable
Angles - mostly level wide & level close which to me are totally fine. There are some angles I wasn’t so sure should have been tilted downward, some slight downward angles or even fully top down shots really broke the immersion for me as I could see rooms tilted or the horizon, which felt off.
A few shots where you are top down in what is basically a tunnel kind of worked as you lose the feeling of the anything that “should” be level in real life (only way these situations can be tilted would be from a neck tilt and you are force to be tilted with your neck level as a viewer.
These are shots I personally would prefer level with adjusted heights and let my neck do the tilting if the shot is long enough to allow it.
The visual effects are great and it’s very exciting to see what they did with underwater work and also just dealing with pyro effects and water overall.
Final thoughts are is a brilliant first attempt by Apple and I obviously want more, I could quite easily watch a longer movie than this at 17 mins, allowing for character buildup and a broader storyline while feeling like you are in the moment.
Let’s see what’s next! Hope you all enjoy it
Top Comment: Yeah great first attempt, keep at it and keep em coming!
Pro-singalong and anti-singalong moviergoer quotes from NY Times article
Main Post:
Under the headline "'Wicked' Fans Singing in Movie Theaters Are Anything but Popular" [paywall], The New York Times today [Wednesday, Nov. 20] presents a defender and two critics of fans who lift their voices in theaters:
In favor
- "People who just are judgmental in that way — please wait to stream it. Don't go the first day and yell at people for singing, for sharing that kind of joy, when we've been waiting so long in anticipation for this movie. You can't stop someone who loves it so much." -- Leah Barnes, 28, of York, Pa.
Opposed
- "It started slow [during 'Popular']. Then people heard each other — it was like they encouraged each other. It was a beautiful scene, and then you’re taken out of it. . . . I was so horrified [during the finale] that I could hear other people over Cynthia Erivo [singing 'Defying Gravity']. That stunned me." -- Angela Weir, 35, who lives near Charlotte, N.C.
- "There is a time and place for singing in movies. People need to practice theater etiquette and act as if you're at a Broadway show. You wouldn't sing at a Broadway show, so why would you sing at this movie?" -- Jordan Cray, 35, of Maryland

The issue with that line of reasoning is those people ABSOLUTELY WOULD sing at a broadway show.
