How to take a webcam picture?

the best laptop for video editing 2011 image

Yup Yup!

So i just got the Toshiba Satellite L755-S5439. Is there an application to take pictures with the builtin webcam? Like one thats already downloaded. And yes, i know about cameroid and stuff. but I'm looking for something that came with the laptop. Thanks in advnace :D

Answer
Your laptop came with Windows 7. I'm sure you will like to make and edit movies too. Install Windows Live Movie Maker 2011:
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-movie-maker?os=other

WLMM 2011 will allow you to take videos using the webcam. Capture a few seconds of video of yourself and save it. Play the video and pause it. Take a snapshot and save it.

Where should I buy my computer?

paupau

I have 1000 to buy a laptop for college. I'm a English major so I don't need too much fancy stuff. I do take a lot of pictures and put them on my computer, if that means anything. I also need wifi. I'm not sure if I should get a pc or a mac, a mac would be more expensive, I understand, but I don't know if its worth it. Thank you for your help.

Answer
A mac wouldn't really be worth the extra money, based on your needs. I would suggest looking at either an ASUS or Toshiba laptop or a Lenovo Thinkpad. They all have very good build quality. Toshibas and Thinkpads are very durable while ASUS laptops have some of the highest quality hardware available.
For good prices on computers, you may want to check out Newegg.com and Tigerdirect.com

@Skylar Oh wow. Well, fanboys will be fanboys, I guess. Where to start?
Well, Macbooks do come with some simple photo and video editing software, but then, so do some Windows computers. And there are free programs for those that don't have this software. Both offer more advanced programs, but they're around ~$200 on both platforms(Final Cut Pro, Aperture, etc on Macs).
Microsoft Office Home and Student does not cost anywhere NEAR $400. You're just making stuff up, there. It costs $150 if you buy from Microsoft, and you can find it cheaper on Newegg and Tigerdirect.
PCs don't NEED virus protection, all you need is Common Sense 2011. Virus protection just means you have to be less cautious. And there are TONS of free antivirus out there. Most notably MSE and MalwareBytes free version.
I don't know where you got that "...the last time a Mac had one that wasnt installed purposly was 2006" thing from, but I know people who have had viruses on Macs. It's possible to get viruses on Macs, it's just unusual because there aren't many coded for the OS.
Many laptops come with warranties. Not sure what you're talking about there. Why are you calling Microsoft for a warranty?
Yeah, Windows PCs come with a "website builder", too. It's called a text editor. Of course, most people don't use those. They don't use Adobe Dreamweaver or whatever is on the Mac, either though. They make IDEs for these things.
"Microsoft says you need to get a new computer every 18 months to not lag." Oh wow, I have no idea where you pulled that one from, but that isn't true in the slightest. I've seen plenty of Windows machines last MUCH longer than that. In fact, I have one in my living room from '04. Still works fine.
"Add that up also. And for netbooks the life spam is 6 months". Again, no. Are you just making up numbers or something?
"Macs are used in so many schools, and by so many in college, and so many teachers for a reason." Well, yeah. They're fairly reliable and there aren't very many viruses on them. Guess what else a lot of schools use? Workstation desktops and Lenovo Thinkpads. Those run Windows.
"and they are so dependable." Yes, they are pretty dependble. Less so than ASUS, Toshiba, and the higher quality Thinkpads (X and T series, mainly), but Macs are definitely up there.
Oh, and you can't upgrade the hardware in a Mac. Personally, I view that as a problem. That's just me, though.

Brand buying advise

You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down.

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.

Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.

Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.

Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.

Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.

ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.

Choose wisely.

Need advice, recommendations for a laptop to be used as a video editing workstation?

best laptop for video editing yahoo image

Nickname

I currently am using a Dell XPS 3.6 ghz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HD running a consumer version of Avid called Pinnacle Studio (v10 Plus). Problem is this is my "everything" computer (Internet, MP3s, documents, spreadsheets) so it bogs down when I try to do relatively simple video editing projects. I want a dedicated, reliable, powerful yet somewhat inexpensive system that has a small footprint. Considering a MacBook with Final Cut Pro but that could get a bit pricey.

Answer
You may want to re-consider using a laptop for that task. Usually laptops can't handle huge video/image file editing, you may want to use a desktop. The reason being is that desktops can handle more power. Don't go with a brand name computer, buy a clone computer that is upgradable. You can select every peripheral at a time, this way you an optimize every component. You do need to go with brand name parts, such as Intel, WesterDigital, ATI and so on. Let me know how it goes. zermenoj@yahoo.com

Basically, the volume is turned up as loud as it can go which for this phone is extremely loud. The only way to resolve this particular issue is with headphones or external speaker that can adjust/lower the volume level.

What are recomended computers for an teacher, graphic designer and a movie maker?

Dexx- Star

and why?

Answer
This could end up being a short book, lol.

Octane Fuels are what Hollywood use. They use the Unix operating system and one computer can cost 5 to 10 thousand US dollars.

Magazine and newsprint use MACs as they seem to be more reliable with less complex graphic design.

I use both MACs and PCs and find them both quite good with graphic animation and single still frames.

You will want a powerful graphic video card - somewhere in the range of 512mb to 1 gig. DO NOT get integrated graphics on the motherboard, such as low end laptops or Emachines from Walmart.

The main thing you should research into, would be graphic design softwares, such as high end Maya 3D from Autodesk(they also own Photoshop) or 3D studio Max, which will cost you much more than the computer will. Beginners or hobbyists can go with Bryce 6 and 7 from DAZ Studios, which is around 100 US dollars and has a very simple, intuitive interface. Bryce can make awesome animations, that can look somewhat realistic; along the lines of Toy Story or Ice Age movies.
Just checked the price on Maya 2013: It is $3,495 USD, but you could try for a student discount and get a good cut in the price.

If you are teaching graphic design, you will need to make your students aware of Maya and Cinema 4D, because these are the top of the line and what Movie makers use to create realistic CGI, such as the Ironman movie, Spiderman Series, John Carter of Mars, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.

A PC from Amazon or Dell/AlienWare with the proper graphic card will cost from 600 US dollars up to 2000 dollars, just for the desktop tower - keyboard, mouse, monitor not included. Both Radeon and NVidia cards are great performers for creating animation renders.

Finally, it really depends on what type of graphic design you will be doing. If you just wish to do video editing and adding credits, screen transitions or splashes, you could get the latest Photoshop and spend around 600 USD for a top of the line PC tower. MACs from Apple are always more expensive than PCs and you will get the same hardware inside ;-)

What is good but affordable or free video editing software for side by side videos? Like if I shot something with two different cameras from different angles and I want them together side by side in the same file, like that famous John Williams tribute music video. I have Windows Vista. It came with Windows Movie Maker but I couldn't figure out how to do it in there.

Answer
Movie maker is the best free movie making software,I think,,if you have a window system it always has movie maker.
But to make better slideshows you you need to pay for commercial software,it's worthy.
If you are looking for more advanced and professioanl but still user friendly software, i will recommend wondershare photo&video edting suit which can produce some genuine looking film effects doesn't take some learning.

I am finding a video editor for a project in our class. What is the best, easy to use video editing software for Windows XP?

Thanks.

Answer
lots of video editors are committed to keep up
with the latest enhancements. That means the latest
DirectX, that immediately means XP is no longer catered for.

This gives you a problem in that you may need to look for OLD Versions.
You may also need to comply with minimum system specifications that
may not be achievable.

Probably the best i could recommend would be Corel VideoStudio x4
it can be picked up quite cheaply still. And should be just about
achievable on XP SP3 see min sys req in link below.

see George and freddie on amazon
they have recently reduce the price get in quick, its still being sold
elsewhere at 3 times the price and more

I already have Windows Movie Maker and my laptop is a Windows 8. It's good but the editing video lags and the video effects aren't what I'm looking for. I mostly just want one certain video effect, which is where you can show one video full screen and a separate video in a little square in a corner. (Such as PewDiePie, SwiftKarateChop, Smosh, etc.) I've looked and can't find any. Thanks! Any questions, just ask!

You want to do "split screen" or "picture in picture" video editing. These two free video editors can easily do such. The videos show how:

FileLab

VSDC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zokUQHkRaDU

with VSDC you can do additional special effects on the inserted video. Here's an example, watch the movement and sizing effects as each clip flies by:

Why do my videos save as pictures and not as videos on my computer?

Curiosity

I have a Jazz HDV189 camera and whenever I make a video on it, it doesn't save as a video when I go to upload it to my computer (a Toshiba laptop). It always saves as a picture, and so when I go to edit it on Windows Movie Maker (and it doesn't work with Windows Live Movie Maker either), it doesn't recognize it as a video file. Is there something that I can change in the settings so that my videos save as video files? Thanks so much in advance!

I also tried putting the memory card directly in the laptop and it still saves as a picture.

Answer
Hi Ms."Curiosity":

First, your Jazz camcorder saves videos (at least the HD ones) in MPEG AVC/H.264 file format (probably with an .MP4 file extension) that most Movie Maker versions don't support (they won't "see" them as videos).

The quickest and cheapest solution is to download Real Network's RealPlayer software which includes the free RealPlayer Converter (and RealPlayer Trimmer), which can directly handle your videos and transcode (convert) them to WMV format, which Windows Movie Maker can edit. (And you can use RealPlayer itself just to view your video files without transcoding.)

Here's the link for Real Network's download page: http://www.real.com/download

There was also a software CD that came with your Jazz camcorder that probably has some simple Media Import & Editing software to help with proper file transfer to your PC. You might dig up that CD and install the software on your computer.

And if your Toshiba is running either Windows Vista, Win7 or Win8, then you either have or can download from Microsoft the latest version of Windows Movie Maker 2012, which can directly handle H.264 (MP4) video files. It's part of the new "Windows Essentials" free download at Microsoft.com.

Hope this helps,
--Dennis C.

How can i upload pictures from my computer to my digital camera?

best laptop for editing image

Le Salina

I have a sony cyber-shot camera and i uploaded pictures to my laptop, edited them, and now i want to put them back onto my camera. I cant seem to do it. I tried hooking the camera up with the USB and opening the pictures in a file, and copying and pasting the new ones in, but they didnt seem to transfer. What else can i do?

Answer
Sounds like you have the steps correct. Copy the picutres back to the camera using Windows Explorer or through My Computer.

Some cameras don't allow this operation, but when that happens the copy or move functions are not available or you won't be able to choose the camera from the list.

The pictures may have been transferred, but some cameras won't display them on their screens if they've been altered, renamed or are not native to the camera.

Try it again then stick the memory card into a card reader (like at Walmart) and see if they come up.

I was wondering if it was possible to use a tablet as the PC screen, so at home i can do heavy desktop tasks on it and use discs, and then have the ability to take the tablet around the house to watch movies and use the internet. Then i could just buy a tablet and PC, without needing to buy a monitor.

"To use your Android tablet as a secondary PC display, you need a few things aside from the tablet and PC apps. First, you need a compatible tablet running Android 3.01 or newer (or a smartphone running Android 2.2 or newer) and Windows XP (32-bit) or Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit). For demonstration purposes we're using an app that works over a Wi-Fi connection, so the tablet and PC must be connected to the same network and reside on the same subnet.

"While it takes a bit more work than simply connecting a standard display, there's no hacking required to use your tablet as a second monitor. Several iOS and Android apps essentially fool your desktop into thinking that you're connecting another external monitor to the system. Here's a short list of the more popular apps available, which can help you configure your setup within minutes." . . .

What makes a good gaming and video editing laptop?

laptop video card for video editing image

Willz

I am going to college in the fall, so I am in need of a good laptop. According to my parents, it is inevitable that I will be getting a PC around $1,000-1,500. I would prefer HP with Windows 7.

Anyways, I want a laptop that would not only run games well, but also run video editing software well. I want to play games like "Minecraft" and other Steam games on high settings without much lagging. I am going to get Adobe Premeire Pro for video editing.

I now that I need a good dedicated graphics card (ex: NVIDIA) for the games, but that's about it. So, what specifications do I need to look for in a good video gaming and video editing laptop?

Thanks!
@TheTurtleGuy: I'd like to have Alienware, but their laptops are WAY too expensive. And like I said, my parents can only give me a laptop around $1,000 to $1,500. Thanks for your answer, though.

Answer
Elements of both a good gaming and video editing laptop are quad core cpu, a decent amount of ram (8gb or 16gb recommended), a high end gpu (depending on resolution).

CPU - i7 intel (the mobile i5 cpus are dual core cpus with 2 additional threads)

GPU -
1366x768 resolution max settings - Radeon HD 7850m or Geforce GTX 660m or better (30-40fps+)

1920x1080 max settings - Radeon HD 7970 or Geforce GTX 680m or better (25+fps)

EDIT: Geforce GTX 650m is also good for 1366x768 if you don't mind scaling back some settings like antaliasing or play at 1080p and cut back on antialiasing and some details.

---------------------------

Use this chart to help you pick.
(http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html)

Highlight the games you want to play and go from there.

-------------------------

Btw, although Alienware is solid its very overpriced.

Edit: The dell costs $400 more than the cyberpc similar specs.

Heres a laptop that costs almost the same as Alienware but has a better gpu

You can buy more ram or an ssd seperately and install it yourself.

Are gaming laptops good for video editing?

Josh

I'm looking into getting a new laptop, mainly for video editing. Would a gaming laptop such as a "Battalion 101 W170ER Gaming Laptop" work? Is it good for JUST gaming, or does that mean it just has high graphics? I'm not looking into any gaming, just high-end video editing.

Answer
Gaming computers usually have very high specs, and they should work great for video editing, but they're also very expensive! If you're not going to be gaming with it, it's probably overkill. Look into getting something with a powerful CPU, and at least 4GB of RAM , but without the unnecessary gingerbread and price of a computer built for gaming.

Video cards are for calculating and drawing 3D graphics. You don't need a mega good one for editing and playing videos - that is handled by the CPU.

Will my graphics card be compatible with Fallout: New Vegas?

best laptop for hd video editing 2010 image

Nicolas B

I was wondering if Mobile Intel® HD Graphics in my Toshiba Satellite M645 would be compatible with fallout: new vegas. I don't want to waste money on a game that wont work. I think the most recent games with high graphics card requirements i have that will run are Starcraft 2 and Demigod, if that helps at all.

Answer
hi nicolas
allthough the mobile intel HD graphics are onboard which are normally associated with sub standard performance the latest series of these HDgraphics are not totally bad however they are still not good enough for games like starcraft 2 and demigod
the problem when buying laptops for gaming is unless your willing to pay in excess of £1500 for a alienware m17x your not going to be able to run the latest games at decent detail and resolution
however ive looked at your laptop at http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/toshiba-satellite-m645-boasts-nvidia-optimus-and-improved-aesthe/ and it looks a pretty good laptop as laptops go..... and from the review you should have either a mobile GTS250 (17" version) or a GT330M with the 14" version.... the intel HD graphics are intergrated to the cpu so the other graphics will be part of the mainboard
what some manufactuers do is have two sets of graphics... the intel HD would be used for everyday use such as web browsing and the other intergrated graphics would be used for gaming and video editing however if you dont know how to enable to other graphics then you would continue to use the intel HD ...............check your laptop manual and see if theres any other intergrated graphics....
failing that then your best bet is to visit http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/ .then select the game from the drop down box.... then click the "can you run it " button...this will then scan your laptop or pc and then show a report... it will show if your laptop/pc can run it at either :
1)minimum .... this is when you can run the game at its lowest settings...still playable but wont look as good ..............and
2)recommended .......this is the way the game should look and will run very well... allthough you can still run the game at minimum its allways best to go for recommended(also called optimal )
i hope this has helped nicolas however any problems let me know
good luck mate !

Planning to get the Imac or macbook?

discoman

I'm planning to get an apple computer in 2010 when they launch new products but I don't know which one to get. I'm going to use the computer for mostly simple tasks like email, internet, listening to music, and viewing and editing photos with photoshop. I still can't decide if I want to sacrifice portability or stationary. I was also wondering if the graphics is necessary for photos, I know for games it is but not sure for photos. Any ideas or suggestions?

Answer
You don't need any sort of advanced graphics card for photos and video, just for games and extended video editing (like HD video etc)...

The iMac should really be compared to the 13" MacBook Pro rather than the MacBook. The entry level 21.5" iMac is the same price and the entry level MacBook Pro, and they share the same design and stuff...

The MacBook Pro would have more than enough power for all the stuff you want to do, so that's not an issue. I suppose it comes down to the design and screen size...

Personally, I'd get the laptop and a monitor... That way you get the best of both worlds... You will regret not being able to take your computer on holiday, sit down on the sofa with it etc... And it's always good for showing the family photos and video of trips and stuff...

what laptop would be good for graphics design that isnt a mac or anything apple related?

Tokyogirl1

Im going into 3D graphic and video editing and I want a laptop that will be able to work well with animation and movement all together with out lag. However i have a budget of $1000. I know macs are good for artist/creativity related stuff but i really hate mac's.

Answer
You can buy an Acer or an IBM Thinkpad. My IBM Thinkpad works REALLY fast and operates on Windows Vista. I have Cinema 4D, After Effects, Photoshop, and Sony Vegas installed since I'm in the designing business :P.

All the software that I use for designing costs cash though, but I'm sure you can download them free somewhere.

Is there a video editing software like Audacity but for videos?

video editing software like audacity image

HaloHelper

I have had Audacity for a while now and just discovered Youtube Poop movies. I can make them, but only using the audio. I want to make videos but I can't find an easy program to use. Also, i've heard of Sony Vegas, is that easy to use? I have enough money to buy it, if it is good. Thanks in advance to any helpful answers!
Youtube Poop videos are where someone gets a clip and messes it up, for example, making SpongeBob swear or just reversing clips to make them funnier. Please don't ask me why I want to make one.

Answer
Greetings fellow Audacity user! I still use Audacity audio for my videos. There is free editing software and those you pay money for. Basically they all work the same and use timelines. Do some research and find software you are comfortable with, and this depends on what you actually want to do.

What is the video editing software used by ew1282 in his Viva La Vida - Coldplay - Violin cover on youtube ?

Chamira Wy

He shows many videos at once and you can hear then also? i play the violin also and i really want to know what editing software or something similar he uses.
Sorry He Doesnt Show Many Videos AT Once lol but Some Videos Do . Can You Tell me That Software Too?

Answer
Wow, he has a lot of views/subs :O
Is it the same guy in the whole video??
Honestly literally all video editing software can do that, although some may require audacity to help. Some expensive ones like Sony Vegas or Final cut pro simply requires him to add clips on top of each other and then he is done. Otherwise, he would need to convert the files from video to mp3 (he would then have a bunch of video and sound clips).
He would then edit the sound clips on audacity so that they play as one simultaneous soundtrack. Now he opens up the video editing software (anything, even windows live movie maker and windows movie maker can do this) and then puts the clips together and then adds the audio track. He would then go to one of the options (depending on what program it is) and then mute all the video clips and have all the sound come from the soundtrack.
Usually the video clips require trimming

What should i look for when looking for a good video editing computer?

Smile

I plan on making HD youtube videos soon, I just need a good video editing computer.. not software but computer. I am looking at HP computers just because they seem not to have problems as much as other computers. So what should i look for? What kind of Processor? How much RAM? And stuff like that. Thanksss

Answer
since you're posting this on yahoo answers, im assuming you're not dong any professional editing. therefore dont worry too much about processors, etc. if you plan to use heavy software like Adobe After Effects - RAM will be important, i would recommend at least 2GB but it will run better with 4.
