What's a vibrant performance !  I can't hear any digital sound ^^

Nice ! I like code progression from 2:50.

IMHO,  thought that your production was wonderful.  I appreciate the scrolling lyrics as they tell good stories and have poignant messages to tell.  I agree with Mark (above) - you are a talented guitarist.  I have attempted (with the emphasis on attempted) to do a few videos and have used HitFilm.   The reason for this choice is that they have lots of video tutorials. 

Good work and I look forward to more of your postings.

Thanks for listening and giving me such a beautiful comment !   (It's all about myself, BTW)     Yes I intend to try out HitFilm to improve my video. ^^

Very nice indeed. Dropped a "like" over at YouTube for you.

Liked the "thanks" of the end of the video, and I agree too many decide too soon and miss a lot.

Keep up the good work!

Nice did not understand a word, but well produced.

Hi, thanks for listening !  At first I sung all this lyrics in English but I chose my mother tongue to sing  more emotionally.  Regardless of language, I believe music is the best tool to communicate with any person all over the world.

Hello Yuki, 

 

I'm surprised you play a nylon string .  I studied that thing for years. Do you know Kazuhito Yamashita?  If not look him up.  The CG repertoire is amazing.   I enjoyed your production and it gave a tear to my eye.  The child like drawings are perfect for your song .  Only crit is maybe have more edits...like zooming in on your face towards the end, stuff like that.  This is a good one.

Thanks for your commenting ! I'm very glad to hear that !   I didn't know this Japanese guitarist but just watched his playing "Concierto de Aranjuezm" on youtube.  He is amazing and emotional. Once I learned ABC of classic guitar but I couldn't make it ^^.   Yes I need to learn about editing more, using another software, not Powerpoint.

Are you a left handed or right handed guitarist.

Hi, Thanks for commenting !  I'm a right handed.   My camera application made part of videos in wrong way  without intention.  I was also confused, watching the result. ^^

If you're looking for special effect stuff I'd suggest Hitfilm since it seems to lean in that direction.  You could get the demo version of Hitfilm or try Hitfilm Express which I think is free

Thank you very much !  I've been checking those products that you recommended.  As far as I saw, yes, Hitfilm Express seems to be the one I should try out.

I chose  P.P because  I've already used its animation function in business but I found it's little bit hard to create music video as I mentioned.  I think I can take advantage of this experience.

I think the guitar lacked some clarity and high end sparkle. I know the normal sound of nylon strings can be helped a little by lowering the real low frequency and adding a little high end gloss.

I appreciate your profound advice.  That must be what I have to adjust as mixing down next time.  I keep it in my mind.

Wow, thanks you💛. My artwork is kids-like but drawing with emotion.

sing a second time and combine with original voice, to help with some pitch issues.nice job recording.also less bass guitar notes.nice acoustic sound.jack c.

Thanks for commenting.  Yes, I know I have many pitch issues so that I repeatedly tried to sing many times through entire song. Next time I will combine the best part of  each voice tracks as you suggested.   In addition to that I have to practice more! 

Thanks !!  I appreciate your positive comment.  I'm curious what program do you use for making video as a reference ?

Hi from TOKYO ! 

Thanks to Bandlab staffs for proving us such an amazing software for free.    I've really made use of it in this year. Spending many months  I've created my original songs and made Youtube Video,  combining two songs ,some pics. drawing and a movie by Cakewalk and PowerPoint.  I added how  to create below. Dose someone know better means to make this type of music video ?

Youtube link: 

-----Below is process I made    #let's say first song is F, second song is S. and Powerpoint is PP

1.  Recorded acoustic guitar tracks with Steinberg UR22C and single Bluebird SL microphone and added another tracks( Drum, piano, strings  provided by Cakewalk and Vocal  to create two MP3 files.  #I spent several months because of many many scratching and building....

2. After planning video story, I put all staffs (photos, movie) into each page of PP then I also embed those MP3 files into it as background music. 

3.  Added text(Lyrics), using  animation function. I adjusted delay and duration time on each page.    

4.Then I tried to synchronize page feed and songs, adjusting page switching time on PP. BUT it doesn't work correctly.  I mean, even I set 3 seconds, a next page appeared after 5 seconds etc.  What more worse, this delay time were changed  (I found some similar cases at FAQ of PP).  somehow I adjusted to create a better version but not perfect. 

5. I exported this PP contents into one MP4 file for uploading to Youtube.  I thought I made it but I was wrong,  Besides my background music, I hear strange click noises at some points.....   It seemed that those noises were generated as making MP4 file by PP.   Finally I gave up.  I deleted two MP3  from PP then created just soundless MP4 file.

6. I imported the two MP3 files and the one MP4 file into Cakewake and adjusted starting points of each songs.  Finally I made a success to export it into this Youtube MP4 file

I know it's not the best way to make it.  Could anyone tell  me the best way to create next music video !
