Michael Coffee Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi everyone, does anybody know of a good/easy to use software for making music video pitches like these ones? http://djbooth.net/news/entry/how-a-music-video-made-treatment-rapsody http://www.slideshare.net/Maah246/music-video-treatment-15425578 Something where its easy to resize and place photos etc, and simple enough to use without having to feel like a pro graphic designer? Drag and drop, or easy to use templates? Regards, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylee Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 are you using a mac or a pc? ipad/tablet? you prolly already have software thatll work fine, not quite as simple as drag and drop, although Pages on a mac is pretty close anyway, this stuff is super simple. i bet if you tried using ~any~ word processing app you could do this just fine... its just some text and photos! dont be intimidated i promise its super simple Michael Coffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Coffee Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks Kaylee - I might pages - have a pc desktop and a mac laptop.. I will keep trying! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 There is storyboard specific software, but as mentioned pages or word works fine. You could create a custom template (or just modify an existing one) with photo and text boxes, so when you drag images they resize to fit the box automatically. Edit - a quick google search shows others have already done the work, find your favorite and bust a move. Michael Coffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 If you have Mac, I'd recommend Keynote. Then you can run it both as a presentation - as well as export to PDF for digital delivery. kaylee and Michael Coffee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Coffee Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Getting there with ms word - thanks for the suggestions! I bet after messing around for hours on the pc with word, it will take about 5 minutes on the mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's excellent for presentations and presenting ideas. Michael Coffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Coffee Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hey thanks Dahlfors, it took literally 1 minute to get Keynote to do exactly what I wanted! Cheers! dahlfors and kaylee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I usually build stuff like this in Photoshop. This is not a music video pitch but it follows a similar layout. It's the 2-page "sell sheet" I made that was used to pitch Down and Dangerous (my microbudget crime drama) to cable and satellite VOD providers across the US & Canada, as well as, Paramount Pictures for international distribution. Fortunately, we happened to have the type of movie they were looking for, but I'm sure this didn't hurt. Anyway... I find Photoshop makes this sort of thing pretty easy to create, and revise, and revise, and revise... Jonesy Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Jones Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 One more to add to the list..... Keynote. Obviously you need a Mac, but I prefer this to most of the others just because of speed. Super easy to move things around, resize, image adjustments, text, etc. and you can export as a pdf at whatever page size you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
