I'd like to know if there are parents, grandparents, or others who have a digital camera and tons of photos and videos on their PC and just don't know how to start making home video movies to share with their friends and families? Since my daughter was born I have a passion for taking photos and small videos of her and my wife. I create DVD's and other media I can email to friends and family literally around the world. 'First steps', 'Dance recitals', 'Riding without training wheels', etc. I love it, and believe others would as well. Wading through all the hardware and software choices can be daunting. How much would someone pay to be taught, and how much time would they invest in learning how to do this? I am just an amatuer, but my computer and electronics background has really helped me dig into this and I believe I can help others who wish to capture their family memories, share them with others, and keep those memories safe forever. Please let me know what you think!

.there's always a niche in every market so i say go for it..have you ever heard of "FLICKOS"?..if there is one in your area then they already offer classes as well as small editing bays for people to do it themselves.most of the people like myself have learned off the net..some things are not good that way but there is tons of excellent free video tutorials all over to teach everyone this but then again you'd need to be computer savvy.so if you know alot about the computer itself which i think you should before ever doing ANY editing then that would be cool to teach within the editing training.

I think you have a great chance to get a business going as it is an untapped market. A lot of people have a lot of photos and video around that they don't look at or watch because it is just too much to sit down and watch or look at if it is unorganized.
How much someone would be willing to pay would be how much would they expect to get out of it. Our local community offers continuing education courses through schools and university for things similiar (electronic scrapbooking) to that and they vary from around as little $50 for 4 hr Saturday session or, if you can get Continuing Education credit towards them, up to $300-$400 for a few weeks 2 hr sessions. Would depend on how indepth the training would go.

I'd love something like this but wouldn't be interested in paying a high price for learning it,considering it would be a hobby...
also,it all depends on how well explained everything was...
would it be on dvd to learn at my conveinance?
or lessons from your home?(not to crazy about this idea)
and alot of people say beginner's but is it really beginner's,or what you consider beginner's?
$10-$20 for a dvd that I heard other people liked or had some good reviews...

Absolutely! I'm an aspiring film student-and I attended a very small high school and film was not offered as a class. It wasn't until collage that I was able to learn to edit. Great idea!!
