HD VS STANDARD. Upgrading your youtube channel

[hobocamptheater]

a better lighting setup might have put your point forward a bit more because the poor lighting causes the 3 video qualities to look quite similar.

[taoistflyer]

@hobocamptheater I've picked up a few lights since then, but nothing special, they do make a difference.

[taoistflyer]

@RaduCartitaBoy I've never tried it but id like to, I've heard good things about it and HD video.

@xxxrandomedudexxx2 jvc gz hm 320 1920x1080p FULL HD! plus 37mm lens threads

my new HD camera records a .MOV file (quicktime) so i have to convert it to edit it in WMM

[taoistflyer]

@thetruthfulflyer I hate .mov files, try VLC video player to view them, VLC also has a wizard that can encode almost any file type, the free avchd encoder is a good one as well, it's hard to get software that works with the raw footage. Mine is encoded by the camera during filming, then I encode it to an avi, then i export it from MM or adobe encoding it again, then youtube encodes it when I upload it.

altogether my videos are encoded 4 times before you view them.

[thetruthfulflyer]

@taoistflyer yea, i now use an encoder for my vids

got the panasonic hdcsd10 im just really bad when it comes to rendering settings:P

[taoistflyer]

@Jamii3S 1280 by 720 at 29.9 fps works pretty nicely for me. a suggestion, if you use the free avchd converter always let it finish its render. sometimes closing it during a render can lock it up in such a way that it wont convert anymore unless you put a new user account on the computer and encode with that account, it's a strange glitch and it took me a while to figure out how to get around it. doing a final render using divix helps during editing.

@MusicProfile try the free MOD to AVI converter

Well done and spot on TF...

[KillerPebbles]

Could you send me a message on how to get the video files from the panasonic sdr-s26 to work directly with windows movie maker? I have the same camera but I have to convert the video files to work with windows movie maker which takes down the already standard definition.

[taoistflyer]

@KillerPebbles you cant just drag and drop them into movie maker in xp without converting them, i've tried a number of codecs but panisonic dosent seam to offer much other then the included half ass sofyware packge. it's been said that windows 7 has the ability to edit the raw files, but it would probably require ffd show or some other codec pack.

i'll send you a link that may help.

[oompaloompajezuz]

it would be good if you could learn to spell Standard correctly.

[taoistflyer]

Sorry my spelling sucks, I guess spell check failed me that day.

@taoistflyer this video is smart made great one

[hicks003]

great video, nice editing

[lar321]

I have a Panasonic SD10 HD camera and a 6 yr. old computer with Windows XP. I'm thinking of getting a new computer with Windows7. Will I be able edit the AVCHG format and send the video to YouTube in HD with Windows7 ?

You said something about that in your video.

[taoistflyer]

supposedly movie maker on windows seven can edit AVCHD files, although I haven't tested it, and from what I know it doesn't have the track line editor yet so it would be just like using the software that came with the camera.

google

- ulead movie studio avchd cnet -

read the article entitled

The hardware is willing, but the software is weak .

At the end he talks about

Corel Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 being able to open the mts files directly , it may be an editing solution for XP users.

[altecrl]

Thanks man. You helped me! I bought a sony hdr xr500 and I didn't know how to convert avchd format, but now I do! ;D

[taoistflyer]

I'm glad it helped, it gave me a few headaches untill I found the free converter, now my big problem is lighting, hd cameras require a good amount of light to look good, I need to get a few cheap shop lights.

[B4its2L8guy]

But your video is not in HD...onl;y HQ. Is that on purpose? It took me a couple of tries using different encoding to get youtube to show my video as HD.

Great videos, been watching for over a year! Broke my teeth with an AirHogg and now fly the Blade 400, and planes as well. Keep up the good work.

[taoistflyer]

It was due to my encoding, I had to encode the clips to an 848 by 480 res before I could edit them on my computer, but the original hd footage encoded down a lot nicer then the standard def footage, I need a better machine or windows 7 to do avchd encoding at full HD res.

I'm glad you've got your hands on a good 3D machine, If you're ever in Dallas bring it by, we'll go fly.

See you in the air.

[kevinisonfirehelp]

Hey umm can u help me out? what is a good video camera that can record good were u can see things good and hear good around 1 - 150$ plz msg me back =) thanks.

[taoistflyer]

You should look at a camera like the casio exilim 8.1 (not that one specifically but something like it in your price range)

It's a standard still picture camera with video capabilities not a camcorder. camcorders get a better picture, but you need 10 times the light so they aren't as good for indoor filming. Look at how the lighting seams better on the first video even if the resolution is lower.

most cameras like it record in an easy to use mpeg format.
