I've wondered this myself. I use Windows Movie Maker, Audacity, and a $25 microphone, so editing the audio and videos honestly probably takes about 80% of my time. The majority of the remaining time is just recording footage, because writing the humor actually comes naturally to me, but the amount of my time that the editing eats up makes me just want to quit.
I spend way too much time sifting through the audio of myself talking, salvaging what I can since it seems like every drop of saliva in my mouth is magnified. I don't know if a pop filter (an actual one, not something you just slip directly over the microphone) would reduce it, or if superior paid for audio editing program could fix this and save time having to delete every obnoxious pop. But the most time is still going through various clips, assembling sufficient footage and splicing it together, as well as recording some background music to play over the footage. I feel like I spend way too much time fixing the crap that comes up with WMM just screwing up. But I don't know what would be better, since the only other thing I tried was Lightworks, and that seemed like a convoluted mess to me.
It's a little off-topic, but would anyone have any recommendations? It's not that I hate editing, I just hate how much of my free time it takes up.
Thanks
