I need feedback
This is the first movie I've ever made. I used Adobe Premier and have no experience. I'm hoping to get some feedback from you guys. The ending is a bit abrupt, but other than that I think it's pretty decent for my first try.

you need better footage to work with.
also, try doing some creative cuts to add to the material and kepe it exciting and interesting. when doing this you should have the audio track laid and then do the cuts to match the music as best as possible.
not bad though man.

watch a lot of professional short films like this or movies. most of them will have a ton of 1-2 second clips of different camera angles with very few long shots, it keeps it exciting IMO.
heres an example of what i mean. ignore the stupid, ugly car and focus on the editting. note how it flows with the music as well.

I'm a fan of Vegas. When I made the switch, back before Sony bought Vegas from Sonic Foundry, Adobe Premeire was still stuck on the whole A deck B deck linear world. Have they changed yet?

It's Jurassic 5 - Long Road to Glory. Ozomatli is good though. I'll try to incorporate them into a future video. And I was using an old version of adobe, 2.0 So I think it's a deck b deck.
