[nemjit1]

What's up with the watermark?

[TruthWarriorFilms]

Nice vid & and great shots brother! Who is the awesome music by?

[Transter2001]

@TruthWarriorFilms Thanks. I think it was Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

[Badboykilla96]

question! so when u record videos! and when u plug tha camera to tha computer by using a USB cord! all ur files come up on tha comp that u recorded right? and if so what file type are they? and say if i record on full 1080P HD do i need to buy a special blank DVD to burn a HD video clip onto it? thanks!!

[Transter2001]

@Badboykilla96 The files are .MTS and they are openable with the OEM software that comes with the camera or Mac Final cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. I haven't tried burning a DVD yet, but I guess that you would have to export it out through editing software and the programme will format it.

[GRINDSHINETV]

what store did u buy thiz from

[robblac]

not very clear or sharp, im surprised, i wont be buying one

[kudjo24]

ummmm, y doesnt it look HD?

[ferrisphotography]

I think it is good video quality, but it doesn't look much different than some HD Flip video that I've seen.

[islandboy40]

wow this vid is insane! Thanks for posting this. Did you use a firewire cable to transfer to your pc? Also, how big is this file when you uploaded it to youtube? Just wondering how long it took to upload a file this long. Thanks!

[Transter2001]

I used USB between the camera and the PC. It probably took about 10mins to upload, Can't remember how big the file was, sorry...

[islandboy40]

Thanks for the tip! I ended up buyng it's twin the HF S10. couldn't be happier.

[RyderStudios]

om goodness.. that's just wow.. canon has blown my mind outta the galaxy with this camcorder.. O_O

[Transter2001]

I also use a pro Sony HVR V1J, and the quality is not that different, considering the huge difference in price

[ugotbawlz]

That is an insanely nice camera for the money...absolutely blows away my Sony. I might have to take a trip to Best Buy for one of these. Very Very Nice!!! As you have shown in this video, one could realistically use this camera to capture some nice commercials, or movie shorts. Very nice job.

[alexmcginness]

This video quality just kills my HV20 dead.

[ZackP27]

@alexmcginness thats because this camcorder *exclusively* has a 8.59 megapixel sensor made by canon.

[Iman]

Ummmm a secada?!

[Transter2001]

Yup

[Badboykilla96]

yoo im lookin to buy this camera ruffly how much did u pay for urs??

[Transter2001]

120,000 yen (1326 USD) but it's now dropped about 200 dollars.

[Badboykilla96]

oh cuz i seen one on ebay brand new for about $900

[Transter2001]

Good luck with that!

[marvelman217]

Hey this is great example of the canon. did you have auto focus on or manual on? And did you walk that slow with the camera or slowed it down in the editing process?

[Transter2001]

It was on Auto, and slowed down in post-processing

[detectivecaution1]

Hi, Good Job! Can you please tell me after you had the video in the camera what did you use to save it and in what format What format was it uploaded to youtube in Thanks Grant

[Transter2001]

Thanks. For this video I used Windows movie maker, so it's a wmv file. The camera saves as AVCHD, and these days I edit in AVCHD and then convert to wmv afterwards.

[alexmcginness]

@Transter2001 Hi, what program do you use to edit the AVCHD files with. Thanks.

[Transter2001]

Adobe Premiere

[alexmcginness]

@Transter2001 thanks.

[danceofthedruids]

Thanks again for a great demo .... this is a great camera. I would take it over the Sony 520 anyday.

[MrSniffles06]

I want this camera so bad. But why is there such an awful motion blurr when you pan walk with it?

[Transter2001]

I was just getting used to it. Now I've used it more it's not so bad. Depends on the shutter speed and how much light you got.

[Mauro888]

What is this music?

I ll have my canon very soon...

I l try it and post the first video.

[Transter2001]

not sure - probably Japanese though. Have fun with the Canon!

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

shit you jokin me? this is like the best hd camera i think for consumers anyways how much did you get it might get this soon..

[Transter2001]

I paid 110,000 yen

[lexam55]

how much into u.s. dollar?

[herofiscus]

this vs hv40?

[Transter2001]

couldn't say - this is my first camcorder.

[luggage12345]

Hey.. it was uploaded on my b-day.. lol

[Myhrmans]

This is great !:) Maby if you have time you could send me a 1080p short movie unrended so I can see how it´s look ! and KEEP the good videos up!

[Transter2001]

The OEM software gives instant playback, and Adobe Premiere and, I think, Vegas Pro have AVCHD codecs so you can preview without encoding.

Now I've got the settings right in Premiere Pro, rendering and encoding aren't that bad. Encoding takes about 30sec per 1sec footage, rendering depends on what effects you are doing.

[Redpin320]

what if you just wanted to see the video you took on your camera unedited with on 24mbps mode?  does it only take that long to encode if you're editing it?

[Graphicspittz187]

Wow i want this camcorder

[SeerTrulth]

Nice shots, but it's a shame how this camera misses most colors, accuracy-wise. Looks surreal.

[Transter2001]

The AVS 6 profile was HD video 1080p, 29.97fps, WMV9, 9000kpbs. I just tried my first native AVCHD edit using Premiere Pro, with a 2.93ghz core2duo, 4gb RAM, Vista 64bit, NVIDIA 9300 GM S card. The editing was pretty painless, but Adobe Encoder took 2 hours to do a 10 second sequence, which came out very jumpy, so I'm not posting it, and will have another go.

[GaijinBiker]

Could you tell us your settings for AVS Video Converter 6? Like, what format, frame rate, etc. do you convert the MTS file to?

Also, please let us know how Adobe Premiere works. I have read that the AVCHD editing is essentially unusable unless you have a super-powerful computer, and maybe not even then.

Thanks.

[Transter2001]

I should add to the previous comment that the encoding took ages and was jerky because I should have rendered some slo-mo clips before encoding. normal footage takes about one minute per second footage to encode on my machine.

[HelleRita]

nice... could you show the steadycam thingy? This has really made me think about having a cam like yours *s

[Bertziethegreat]

You simply hold the tripod by the neck.

[edgards]

Amazing quality on this video, great camera.

[Ultimateracepro]

Very clear - did you capture with Nanoflash or something like that?

[Transter2001]

I used AVS Video Converter 6 trial version. Starting with Adobe Premiere this week, so hopefully will be getting better results...

[platerplane]

thanks dude!! nice footage
