JVC Everio GZ-HD300 Test

[skateboard19952006]

battery life plz, non-stop film??

[akumie]

hi, how did you do this?

I also have Everio MediaBrowser HD Edition and videocamera JVC GZ-HD300 but when I upload a video directly to youtube threw Everio MediaBrowser HD Edition it is always only 240p on youtube

I do know it is hard to edit videos in HD because if I use Everio MediaBrowser HD Edition to convert to avi for moviemaker the quality is always worse but I would exept a video with no editing directly uploaded to youtube to be more then 240p when the video is in HD

Any ideas?

[itzHarlanBK]

[peanutt82004]

Hey CSXJoe can you make a video on how to use this camera. Like how to upload to youTube. Im having a hard time using this camera. Whenever you do the movie conversion it converts to a low resolution. is this normal. Please help me out.

[rmstudio]

[4vans82]

[ziadtheking]

@4vans82 YES it dose to upload a video connect it to the mac then open up imovie it should do it automatically if not go to files on imovie then choose import from camera. hope this helped

[Skandinaver92]

very big pump

[wowlaxis]

do you got a pool?!

[CSXJoe]

@wowlaxis no.

[jamesswisher1234]

can you put a baby death lens on it

[xxynxx]

what settings did you use?

[Artifact85]

you like the camera? i might get it

[Leo9dbass]

You have a steady hand...LOL

[DjSkrapi]

I just bought that today... God I hope it's worth the Money!!

[TheChoggle]

does it have the crakling sound, like in this video at 3 seconds?

[RockSmithStudio]

It is...as long as you know how to upload it in avchd, which is easy if you have sony vegas or some editing software.

[DigitalAuraHQ]

I have Sony Vegas 8 and it won't recognize the mts files. I called Sony and JVC and neither offered any assistance. Any advice?

[RockSmithStudio]

Well, first go to import part of sony vegas. There you should see AVCHD camcorder. You will upload the videos directly from the camcorder to the vegas. Is your Sony Vegas 8 Platinum, Pro, or normal? If normal, you might need a more upgraded version.

[DigitalAuraHQ]

Thanks for the quick reply, I have the Platinum version of 8. When I try to import the files I go to import media>EVERIO_HDD(F:)>AVCHD>BDM­V>STREAM to access the mts files but when I try to import them I get this message: "Warning: an error occured while opening one or more files. The cause of the error could not be determined." Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Am I going through the wrong Import?

[RockSmithStudio]

ok, you need to go to the file, go to import. There should be many import options: Import Media, Camcorder, AVCHD camcorder. Click the AVCHD camcorder. Make sure your camcorder when plugged in it's on playback option. Then select the JVC and it should work.

[DigitalAuraHQ]

There might be a problem with my camera. I followed your instruction and under file>import I only see "Import Media" and "DVD Camcorder". My camera is on the playback option also. Oh well, I appreciate the help anyways.

[charlienethercoat094]

ive got one of these in the post to me right now, i have sony vegas pro 9 do you do the same or just drag the files

[vzarou]

@DigitalAuraHQ yes it work in mts file i always use that

[LetteVonLush]

lovely tester of veiwing the gravel! lol

[TheChoggle]

oh yah, hmmm, kind of a static-like sound

[iozze]

did you realize about the sound? I heard some weird noise while you are outside.. it sounds like raining over ur camera.. I am just wondered how can u fix that without loosing video quality?

[TheChoggle]

it's wind

[iozze]

no way.. listen it again.. not only when he is outside... at the beginning for example 0:02 there is abnormal sound when she speaks

[iozze]

other example at 1:44

[CSXJoe]

Its wind. the other noise like static was from the editing program I used.

[PS3Insight]

i know wat noise u mean, sounds like its raining lol, but i dont know how to fix it, unless u get an external mic

[dzpisx]

Its called Wind reducer, it sucks. So does Auto Gain up, and auto stability mode.

[diddly206]

@PS3Insight you can not use external mics for this camera.

[BoardCanAB]

if it has a tripod screw you can my friend jsut got one. not sure if his cam has a plug in to connect the mic and he got a opteka fish.

[jhpeeble]

haha i JUST figured it out. nvmnd

[jhpeeble]

just got the mts files out of the 'stream folder" and drug them to my desktop. now what?

[jhpeeble]

I have all the settings made on the everio. Then I select the footage to be "exported " on the camcorder. Then I get the prompt list. I did the "export to library" and "back up" but have no idea what file im looking for on my pc?? it was more straight forward using the software. please help lol

[jhpeeble]

ok, just got mine and catching hell lol. The jvc software that comes with it does rob the quality of the footage so Ive been reading you guys comments and trying the alternative route...sigh.... easier said than done. First off I run vista.

[TheRealEddieV]

what is the format when you put it on your computer?

[CSXJoe]

I just hit "back up to computer" go to my computer and find the file drag it onto my desktop the change it from a 001.MTS to 001.M2TS then put it on vegas and save it as a 001.WMV

[austinkennyskate]

@CSXJoe dont you have to render it to a wmv?

[DeenMango]

How did you get the quality to be so good? Are you using the everio software to download it to your pc?? Thats what I do and the quality is total crap. Got any ideas for me? If you don't upload your videos to your pc using the everio software, how do you get it to your pc? thanks pleaase reply

[Ashyo99]

Its a really good camera. you just formatted it terribly

[CSXJoe]

Its the raw file. I didnt do anything to it.

[AnalFuckingCow]

damn this cam is terrible.

[funnyXP26]

how can you say that???? besides the sound...

[airscrew1]

Can the files from this camera be edited in Adobe Premiere?

[Diedier2]

Is it possible to use an external microphone?

[multikool]

Are you uploading directly from the camcorder to the Youtube Site(one touch mode)?Or are you using the downloaded JVC CD-Rom info?My uploaded videos don't look as great as this.Possibly because I'm uploading through the JVC CD-Rom info.

[version2media]

he did what i did..just got the actual file and upload it to youtube..the file from the camera folder..i believe the MTS file

[tooch1995]

hey wat fomat does ur vids come in because i cant get my files to work on my cpu

[version2media]

you have to change the file depending on computers..my raw files wont work on this computer which is vista (windows media player) it does work when i put it on my editing program sony vegas...

and my other comp which is windows XP handles the raw file perfectly and does everything with the camera perfect..

so XP handles this camera better than VISTA

[CSXJoe]

I Have Vista and I just load the raw file into sony vegas then save it as a mpeg4 or .mov

[version2media]

oh well yeah i do that too...i was just trying to make it simpler for that fella with the question..asuming he didnt have sony vegas. but yeah lol just adding the raw to vegas is way quicker..saved/saves me alot of time.

[BossManATL87]

How much you paid 4 the camera?

[HavokProductions1]

it cost 699.99

i'm currently looking to buy this as my 2nd HD camcorder..CompUSA currently has a 100.00 instant rebate on it..leaving at 599.99

[CSXJoe]

Its a great camcorder. mines took a drop from 4 feet onto rocks and still works!

[HavokProductions1]

could help me out..i'm interested in buying

does it have a port for firewire?

does it record in nightvision?

would you recommend for recording football-sporting events?

[CSXJoe]

no firewire.

night time recording is bad.

[jayblaze145]

hey how is the night vision or just taking video in the dark? anyway you could make a video in the dark or so?

[LangIsAnArt]

maybe something was up with the mic sensitivity...?

[CSXJoe]

naw it was just really windy.

[LangIsAnArt]

do you think that the wind reduction feature helped at all?

[CSXJoe]

it helps. just not in 40MPH winds lol.

[averygoodpoint]

Nice!

[ClearCut83]

There is a wind reduction setting on the camera, and it works great. Try it out sometime, nice video!

[CSXJoe]

i was using it.

[ClearCut83]

Oh, alright then...well thanks for sharing the video, looks great!
