I was visiting at my friends at Brasov, Romania and decided to make my first video only using my mobile phone. The phone is Nokia N8. The lightness of the phone made it difficult to make stabilized video even I had my manfrotto travel steady cam with me. The time lapses was still successful for my opinion.

Programs I used

• Adobe Premiere Pro CS5(Main Editor)
• Adobe After Effects CS5(for stabilization of some footage)
• Adobe Lightroom 3.3(Data manage and Timelapses)
• Neat Video Plugin(for reduce noise)

Edit: I forgot to tell how to Interpret the footage before adding to timeline. So basically you need to interpret the footage if your framerate is showing like 500 frames per second. So select all video clips and select modify-> interpret footage and write frame rate to 25 frames per second in Europe at least. In US you might need to use 30 frames per second.

I had my GoPro attachments that I used to attach my mobile phone to tripods, suction cup and steady cam. The program I used in the phone for time lapses was FastMotion that I bought from OVI store.

There are great workflow in YouTube how to edit 3d footage with cineform and Adobe Premiere CS5.

I had to buy Production suite 5 because it just make things so much easier. I have been testing it for a while and today decided to buy it. Is it worth it? Don’t know, just have to hope it will.
