I'm starting a YouTube channel, and my first video has been giving me a lot of trouble, it's a painting video, sped up but with all the little parts slowed down to highlight the process. I've got a pretty good lighting setup, decent microphone and beefy editing computer, I thought I could get this done with my old eos rebel t3i, but I forgot about the whole fat32 thing. I cannot film any more than a 4gb video at once and the camera software on the PC has no easy workarounds for that,so I'm constantly looking back at my camera to see if its still recording or has silently shut off.

Now another types of videos this may not be a problem but in these videos I'm literally sitting with the camera pointed at my work for 4 plus hours straight, that's a lot of restarting and transferring stuff. I need a camera specifically made for long form video and I don't have a lot to spend right now. I'm happy with a $200-$300 rig that has good enough quality, at least 60 fps and ntfs storage (or whatever the camera solution for this would be.)

I would assume I may need a camcorder Does one exist in my price range?

I noticed that this YouTuber uses an effect where a still photo is brought to life, usually with a gentle pan or zoom effect.

Is this a plugin, or just somebody manually chopping up the image with Photoshop and then putting it back together with After Effects?

I'm just an amateur who likes to edit videos using premiere pro, and searched around for a good controller. Specialized ones were expensive, so bought a second hand midi controller:

Behringer X-touch compact and Bome midi software .

I chose the Behringer as it has a LOT of dials (16) in addition to many buttons and sliders - generally more than the more expensive specialized video editing panels.

The Bome software has a learning curve, though once you know how to do a couple of things (dials and buttons) it's copy/paste. You can alter every dial, button and slider for any program (I was happy to see that it worked for a music program I was using without having to change anything).

I also use it for lightroom (using the lightroom midi free software).

Here's my config which is improving:

I can share the config if anyone wants it. I'm not paid by any of these companies.
