[BruneiRollingstuff]

whats the song called?

[UncommonAsian]

@BruneiRollingstuff Sorry for the uberly late response. I forget the name of the song, but it's one of the tracks that come on a mac - I think you need iLife 08 or 09 (specifically garageband I think).

[GetOutSideMoreOften]

do you think this camera would be good for biking videos..like videos with alot of action

[dayboyy24]

man i really want this cam but i never see really good color correction videos like the hv30 vids why is that?

[UncommonAsian]

Depends on the camera and what look the person doing the editing is trying to pull off or experiment with. Also depends on the video media (hg20=strictly digital, hv30=hd dv media). Depends on the editing software someone has. Apparently it depends on various things.. ;)

[UncommonAsian]

lol. I know.. You now have told me twice.. ;P .. haha -- I'm sure you'll love it..

[CoasterChick22]

Lmao I have? haha i'm a tard. Just excited.

[Farbentzug]

can you explain me, how I can put my videos from the canon hg20 to the mac? For pc, there was this software included, but how do you make this with a mac? Thank you very much.

[UncommonAsian]

It really depends on what you have with the mac. I'm running on an Intel Based late 2006 Model MacBook (the white one). I also have a program that supports the AVCHD format -- Final Cut Express ($199). You mac HAS to have some sort of Intel Processor to work with the HG20 -- so let me know what you got, and I'll do what I can to help! ;D

[Farbentzug]

I mean, the "put-videos-from-the-camera-to­-the-pc-software" is the Pixela Imagemixer, and it only works for pc. so how do YOU do that? That was my questions. I have an iMac (the new one) 24 inches...it's the most expensive of the 4 iMacs versions if you need more informations.

I really thank you if you can help me.

you dont need any other software than what you have. you MUST have at least iMovie right? well get yourself a firewire cable and hook it up to your camera and then import it. theres no need for any other software just for getting the footage

[UncommonAsian]

You know what? I didn't even bother to see if iMovie 06 would let me transfer the files from the cam.. However, now that I have iMovie 09, I know that THAT definitely gets the job done.. So does Final Cut Express 4.0.. Anyhow thanks for helping out with by providing these people the advice. Cheers

you should educate yourself a little bit.

[xypowerpop]

[UncommonAsian]

Thank you, thank you! :D

[ericos]

HAHA you and your test video's! lol!

The view at 0:33 was so beautiful. OMG!

[sfcalvinaz]

Thanks for sharing these tests & experiments & dry runs! Much appreciated. I dig that you are into high quality equipment. I'll have to keep an eye on your career, might need to hire you some day! LOL

[UncommonAsian]

No problem -- I have to do these tests runs to get more acquainted with my hardware and software, especially since I'm learning everything on my own as I go along. Anyhow, you said hire me? Haha - what do YOU do?

[sfcalvinaz]

When I am rich & famous. I already made a million & lost it before I could spend it. So I am starting over on that second million! LOL
