laptop for light video editing image
J
I am looking to buy a new laptop and would like to know if an Apple or Windows based laptop would be better for video editing and website design. Also any other information I should consider would be helpful like memory size and speed... Thanks
Answer
Well, it all depends on prsonal preference. Here are the facts: Macintosh is better for graphics editing, their video cards are great. But they are not user friendly, the programs are very difficult to use if you don't know what you're doing. My advice to you is to go get PhotoShop and buy a Windows Vista laptop.

What's a good camera/camcorder and video-editing program to use for YouTube?

I have a Canon PowerShot SX150 and an iPhone 4 but I am sure about their ability to record high quality videos. I tried to use my built-in webcam from my laptop but it sucks, the video quality is all grainy.
I really just want something that will take good quality(so it's a given that it has to be HD) videos that is cheap but my ideal camera/camcorder would have an unattached mic and or place for one, how low capacity files, and wifi would be nice. I'm not sure if I want freeware in regard to video editing yet, depends on how much much the programs are.
*has low capacity files
I don't want to spend more than $300
Answer
"Grainy" or noisy video = not enough light.
If you continue to want to capture video indoors or under poor lighting conditions, you will continue to have video "quality" issues unless you either:
1) get a camera or camcorder with a MUCH larger lens diameter and MUCH larger imaging chip system
OR
2) add light.
Since you've decided on the external mic being a requirement and none of your existing devices can do that - well, your computer and web-cam can, but that is not too flexible for a lot of projects...
If you look at the entire range of consumer and prosumer camcorders available you will notice that as the entry level, the lenses and imaging chips are small (OK, you can see the imaging chip, but its size is listed in the specs). Starting at around $100, this is pretty much the same from every manufacturer (smaller than 30mm; smaller than 1/6 inch). In the $500 range, the lens diameter and imaging chip get a little larger (usually in the 37mm - 43mm + 1/6 inch). In the $800 they get even larger (43mm - 47mm + 1/4 inch) and in the $1,200 range get up to about 58mm + 1/3 inch... when you jump to the $2,500 range of prosumers they get to 72mm and use a 3CCD or 3CMOS imaging chip array that is 1/3" or larger. As the lens diameter increases in size, that allows more light in and as the imaging chip size increases, it can deal better with what light is allowed to get to it.
If you insist on staying in the area of inexpensive consumer cams, then the alternative is to add light to compensate for the small lens and small imaging chip.
JVC appear to be the current (decent) wifi-capable camcorder manufacturer. The JVC GZ-EX310 does not have a mic jack. Canon's HF R200 has a mic jack and no wifi capability.
I do not know what "how low capacity files" means.
You may already have a video editor on your computer. Windows has MovieMaker and Macintosh has iMovie... Depending on your needs, they may meet your requirements.
To further improve video capture quality, never capture video when holding the camera in your hands. Use a tripod or some other steadying device (chair, table, stack of books, shelf... anything but not handheld).
