- PC editing
  There is PC editing software out here Adobe Premiere Pro and Sony Vegas are two good ones to try. Both offer free trails for download. you can find em on the company sites or MovieDemo resource area.

- Final Cut Pro
  He uses Final Cut Pro, which is not free software but worth it if you're seriously thinking of doing video editing

- copy paste would do the trick...
  or maybe u need a quicktime or realone player to run ur video... once you have all the necessary plug-ins there won't be any problem.. for pc you can use adobe premier, incite or the windows movie maker. adobe premier could do lots of tricks, Final cut pro/express is somehow more advance and easy to use. its like a combination of premier and after effects

- use a capture card
  there's a lot of capture card available nowadays but its almost obsolete since we now have firewires and usb connections and other hardware stuffs made for video capturing... but i'm not sure coz its been 2 yrs now since i stopped doing video editing. But since you have a tape camera use a capture card for your pc/mac (the most popular before was pinnacle) look it up on stores....

- True...
  That's true.
  The same effect can easily be done with Adobe Premiere Pro, which runs on Windows

Is there a way to isolate this effect?
It's very cool but it might look better if only the arms of the subject were blurring. Is this possible?

Code to do this in AviSynth
#open your clip
myclip = msg.trim(215, 369)

#create blank mask (select everything) same length as your clip
mymask = blankclip(myclip, myclip.framecount(), color=255255255)

#overlay myclip with itself, add 5 blank frames to start of overlay clip, then trim these after overlaying
return overlay(myclip, blankclip(myclip,5) myclip, 0, 0, mymask, 1.0).trim(5, 0)

Great tutorial!
I gonna try that in Sony Vegas.
I noticed that you often use FinalCut or Apple's Motion... are you only using Apple's software?
Will you , by any chance, be introducing some AfterEffects tutorials ? :)

great job, your videos are pretty interesting

wow
ur a frikin retard, first retarded mistake: WHY THE HELL ARE YOU USING FINAL CUT !?!??!

for a better effect of the punching, have jus tthe arms punching by creating a feathered mask that covers up the body, this way it will look like the matrix even more by making it look like jus tthe arms are swishing around
