While searching through the forums provided, I tried to keep an eye out for useful information as opposed to items that are interesting but not very practical for us as students.
On the 2-pop site, I found the following: "How to make video look like film"
This forum thread is all about how to make an amateur video look as close to film quality as possible using the fewest/cheapest tools available.
While the thread poster focuses on After Effects (as do the replies because of that) this information could easily apply to people using other motion editing programs such as Final Cut Pro. Not only are there suggestions for basic use in the program, there is also information given about plug-ins that might be useful in various editing programs.
Some of the plug-ins are program specific, such as 'Nattress' which is a plug-in for Final Cut Pro in order to make video clips seem more "Hollywood" whereas 'Magic Bullet' does the same thing for After Effects. This information is then useful for us because we are not all just Mac, or just PC users. Knowing what programs have which add-ons/plug-ins and what each of them does is something that we will all become familiar with over time, but having the information at your fingertips never hurts either.
