What kind of video editing is goo for uploading to YouTube and vista?

video editing software 64 image

So I really love making videos with my iPod but I can NEVER figure out how to edit them. Or at least the long ones.
I hve tried windows movie maker but it never works on my 64 bit toshiba computer (vista) or my xp computer.
What is a video editing software that works well and can upload to YouTube. I mainly do makeup and beauty videos but I also like to do skits and stuff.
What do you think?

Answer
At first, my windows movie maker works well on windows 7 system to edit videos, and I think it will cover what you said about editing on windows vista, too. You may need to convert iPod videos to some other formats such as avi, I suppose.
Furthermore, videos can be imported from devices like iPod to computer and edited, uploaded to YouTube/ Facebook in a program named ArcSoft ShowBiz. (www.arcsoft.com/showbiz) You can try the program for free to finish your tasks.

Question about which video editing software to use?

Harley

Im looking for a good, free, and easy to use video editing software that i can use to remix videos somewhat. Im planning on taking parts of MLP FIM episodes and adding them together into one video for my friend for his birthday

Answer
Take a look at the tutorials for Windows Movie Maker at http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Tutorials/ - it may be WMM is all you need. It really is foolproof except that it's picky in what file formats it takes and the lack of native support for multiple video and audio tracks are a definite disadvantage (but there are workarounds).

The version 2 series were probably the most versatile, you can find them here - http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/windows-movie-maker.html - but you'll have problems installing the older versions on Windows 7.

Other free video editors are...

Wax - http://www.debugmode.com/wax/ - this is also a compositor - a bit like Adobe's After Effects - - unlimited video and audio tracks
VideoLAN Movie Creator - http://videolan.org/vlmc/ - up to 64 audio and video tracks
TrakAxPC - www.trakax.com/software/pc/
VideoSpin - http://videospin.com/ - just 1 video track so you may as well use WMM
VideoPad - the free version - http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/
Lightworks - http://www.lightworksbeta.com/ - I like this one - unlimited tracks ?
Serif MoviePlus - http://serif.com/free-video-editing-software/ - unlimited tracks ?
Ezvid - ezvid.com/ - 32 video and audio tracks

Another is Zwei-Stein. This is a good editor but I found the interface to be absolutely horrible.

VirtualDub, RAD Video tools, AVITricks and Avidemux are also good tools you should look at. Although not full editors like the others they have some useful features.

Lightworks and Wax together are a very good video editing system for free.

All are safe, at least from the sites I've linked to.

If you want to spend some money then there are reviews of 14 video editors under $100 at http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

More costly are video editors like Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere. Both of which are very good. Premiere is probably more advanced but harder to learn everything it can do.

which dell laptop is best for video editing and graphics purpose?

Suman

I am searching a laptop for video editing and graphics job. Also i want to do compilation of software and web development job through laptop. I need a such type of laptop of DELL company. Thank you.

Answer
Hi Suman,

As you want to use the system for video editing and graphics intensive applications, I would suggest that you order a system with discrete video card, or better still, one with NVidia Optimus or AMD Switchable Graphics technology, that can utilize both integrated and discrete Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This would allow you to use the discrete GPU for graphic intensive applications and integrated one for normal use to save power. The system should also have a good processor and maximum possible memory.

As you would be using the system for work, getting a Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of a regular hard drive would also be a great idea. SSD does not have moving parts like a conventional hard drive, and therefore, is less prone to failure, providing better data safety.

A custom configured Dell XPS would be my choice for the job. You may look for, customize and order a Dell laptop on the following link:

Hope this helps.

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.

To make better slideshows you you need more advanced and professioanl but still user friendly software.
I have used a few video editing programs and the easiest one has been DVD Slideshow Builder. Very easy to use with professional features and same sort of layout as Movie Maker however a lot more powerful.

What are some good video editing softwares for Microsoft, not Mac?

hoopstar18

What is a video editing software I can get for free or from Best Buy? I need it soon so nothing I have to order from the internet that will take forever and a day. I need it to be able to play clips backwards. Plus, Windows Movie Maker just is not cutting it.

Answer
Pinnale Studios one (I forget the full name) is okay for a lower priced one. I wouldn't consider it great, but its a step up over Windows Movie Maker at least. It s definitely a consumer product though.

There is then Sony Vegas. This is very popular around the consumer scene. Its a little pricey though perhaps for what you're getting. But I hear its really easy to use and pickup. I've not used it personally though, just hear people are fairly satisfied with it.

There is Adobe Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements. The Pro one is far more expensive but far more robust. Elements would be a huge step up over Windows Movie Maker for you and not nearly as costly. That might also be the easiest one to just pickup from a BestBuy or such. I've used Pro only, so can't comment to heavily about Elements. But as its just a slightly "weaker" version of Pro, I would imagine its a pretty solid application.

Cheers.

Please help me find a cheap laptop for video editing?

best i5 laptop for video editing image

Szymon

It has to be a laptop that cost 570pounds (could be a little bit higher)The laptop has to have 6 or 8 gb ram, intel core i5 or higher, 1.5 or 2gb graphics card,15.6"(preferable) or 17" screen.
Remember it has to be a good laptop for video editing and avalible in northern Ireland to buy.

Answer
You probably won't get something suitable for the price you want, unless you get it second hand. Look into possibly a second hand Toshiba Satellite, or something similar. However, you'll need a fairly high end model to get what you need. For something that's seriously good, expect to pay more than your budget; my 2 computers I use for editing were over £1000 each, and I still had to upgrade RAM to something more powerful.

I hope this helps.

What makes a good gaming and video editing laptop?

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.
(http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-m14x-r2/pd.aspx)
(http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X6-7450_Gaming_Notebook/)

Heres a laptop that costs almost the same as Alienware but has a better gpu
(http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X6-9500_Gaming_Notebook/)

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

Jacob

What is the best video editing software for pc? I am going to be making videos with gunshots and explosions. What is the best software for me to use?

Answer
The best indicates expensive and not simple. If you are new to editing (which it sounds like). Do you really want a professional, expensive editing package? If your question is which is a good app to start learning editing, then there are several. It depends on your budget and skills. There are some entry- to mid-level apps like Pinnacle, Sony Vegas, or Premiere Elements that can get you started and they'll run you about $75 - $120. If you really want to start at the top, it'll cost you over $500 and some time to learn the app. That'll require lots of practice, book study, and possibly video tutorials...depends on you. Additionally, the more powerful the app the more system requirements. Video editing takes lots of RAM and a fast processor for rendering. Effects are another issue altogether. Once you get editing principles down, then you can learn to apply effects to your videos.

To answer your question as asked: The best is probably Avid. There are other top ones like Avid Express Pro, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Vegas Pro

cheap laptop for video editing 2011 image

i am looking into a new editing system primarily to edit DVDs on, now my laptop is a 2011 Toshiba C655-S5122 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM Intel Core i3 M 380 @ 2.53GHz. my budget is under $100, i need something powerful and that renders pretty fast, and i would like it to burn after rendering. i have tried multiple programs, currently using AVS VideoEditor witch is glitched and freezes up constantly.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
~MC

Answer
Well it's going to be hard to find a good one for under $100. I'm do professional video editing and they can get a little pricey.

I would recommend look a Corel video studio software. It works very good and there are different versions and also Sony Vegas.

Corel editing software if definitely my favorite on the lower end editing software.

Now if you want to go professional you could look into Adobe Premiere. There are some older versions out there on ebay and places like that where you can buy it used or cheap. Just make sure you are getting a software code and not just the installation disks. I learned to use Adobe Premiere CS5 version. CS6 is out now but you can the older version CS4 pretty cheap sometimes. I wouldn't go any lower then Adobe CS4.

Feel free to email me if you have any more questions you need help with

Which Macbook Pro should I get for editing videos?

Crystal

Right now I have an acer and it definitely doesn't have the right graphics card for what I like to do.
I edit videos with Sony Vegas, use Photoshop, and I also use music programs like fruity loops. So I guess you could say I need something with a large processor? Graphics card? and memory...?

I'm aware that these same PC programs won't work on a MAC but on my MAC I plan to use final cut pro for editing videos, adobe Photoshop for mac and garage band for music.

I want to get the CHEAPEST version of the mac that I can get. It does not need to have a retina display. Honestly...the difference between a retina and non retina doesn't matter to me. As long as I can see what I'm editing. It could be a 2012 or 2011 version... What is MOST important is the processor. I want something that won't lag (like my acer aspire) and overheat when using extensive programs like final cut pro (my acer overheats all the time...but it's 18in soo....)

I hear people mention intel irs graphics? GPU? Don't know too much about those terms but I'm sure they're things I should look out for.

Please help out, thanks!

Answer
Sony Vegas won't run on a Mac - as you already know

To run Adobe Photoshop/Premier Pro etc, etc, you need to make sure the computer (whether a Mac or Windows PC) meets the minimum system requirements for running the software. The most important considerations are the amount of RAM, and the GPU (the graphics card), and the screen resolution is important as far as laptops are concerned. The more RAM you have the better, dedicated GPU's are better than integrated video cards.The processor speed is probably the least of your worries.

Adobe publishes the system requirements on their website http://www.adobe.com

What is the better laptop a PC or a Mac?

best laptop configuration for video editing image

Dan H

I am looking for my first laptop. Which is a better laptop PC or Mac. What is the difference between the two? I am getting it for school but i will also being using it for fun.

Answer
I a film and video guy so I will always say Mac but I am going to be fair when answering this question. Both Mac and PCs have their negatives and positives. Macs have the best operating system (OS) meaning that it is safe and has a lot of power. It is very hard for a virus or hacker to get into your Mac. Macs are also a lot faster than PCs. Everything is faster on a Mac. Even the initial startup is faster. It seems like with a PC, you have time to order a pizza when you start it up. I have heard rumors that Adobe is creating an office suite exclusive to Macs. Need I say more? Now for the negatives. Macs are very expensive. To get the real experience of the power Macs offer, you should spend at least $2500-$3000. Don't let these prices scare you away. You can spend less than $2000 and still be greatly impressed by a Mac. I spent just over $8000 on my Mac Pro desktop. I have a standard monitor and a 30" HD monitor hooked up to my Mac for editing video and film. If that is not an example of the power Macs offer, I don't know what is. For beginners, Macs could be a little difficult.

Now for PCs. I also have a PC that I use for simple things like answering this question. All PCs run on Microsoft. Microsoft is not as evil as people make it out to be, unless you plan on running on Windows Vista. If you choose to get a PC, try to get Windows XP. Vista is still new and has problems. PCs are more office appropriate . They are good for data processing and other office tasks. You can get PCs that have a lot of power but it doesn't compare to Macs. PCs are also a lot cheaper than Macs. You can get a good PC for less that $2000. PCs are more likely to lock up when you are trying to complete tasks that require power such as photo editing, graphic design, film/video editing, etc. Windows OS also has Microsoft Office. Office is an amazing office suite.

In all honesty, I would get a Mac. For what I do, there is not a PC in the world powerful enough to complete the tasks that I complete. I noticed that you are getting a laptop to take to school. Macs are very popular amongst students. If you need a office suite now, Macs can run Microsoft Office. There is a special edition for Macs. Don't get a Mac Book Air. They look cool, but they don't have much storage space on the hard drive. I have included links to where you can configure a Mac Book and a Mac Book Pro. Take a look. I hope this helps. If you choose to get a Mac, great! If you need help choosing the appropriate configurations to get the best performance out of your Mac, please drop me an e-mail and I will be happy to help you select the appropriate hardware.

On a loose $1500 budget, what is the most productive configuration for a laptop intended for Adobe CS6?

Manny

I'm planning on using the laptop with Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and After Effects mostly for editing DSLR video and photographs. I need something that will be able to handle multiple HD video layers, some 3D rendering, music production, etc. Is this possible? NOTE: I'd prefer not to hack my video card but I can if I absolutely have to.

Answer
You need something with an extremely fast CPU and lots of RAM. Graphics card doesn't matter as much when it comes to everything you mentioned except 3D modeling. I suggest you look for a workstation-style build, and not a gaming build.
Something like this:
i7-38XXQM and above
16GB+ of RAM
SSD! Solid State Drives are very important if you want your programs and projects to open fast! I suggest either a hybrid drive or an all-out 256GB SSD.
Any graphics card over a GT630M or 7670M will do.

how do I add more audio to a youtube video?

The Psycho

I want to download an existing youtube video, add my own voice to the audio that already exists, and upload the new video back to youtube as a video reply.

Now, being the cheep guy that I am, I need a freeware video editing program that will allow me to do that. Any suggestions?

Answer
Well if you're just looking to add one additional audio track; windows live movie maker 11 will do.
It comes pre-installed with most newer windows laptops and computers. If you don't have it you can download it (if your system meets the specs).

Another option you have is to download Vegas Pro 9, 10, or 11's free trial, and you can use that for a while.

How do I capture video from an Xbox 360 to a computer and what do I need?

video editing software xbox 360 image

thelunchbo

I want to record videos of Gameplay footage from my game to my computer, so I can edit it and such.

Any Ideas how I would go about doing this?

Also, I will need to know exactly what things I need aside from video editing software. I have that.

Answer
You would need some form of video capture device (either USB or PCI...USB ones are generaly cheaper but have less features and lower quality recording) and connect the AV out of your TV to the capture device and using the software that comes with it you will be able to save your gameplay as an MPG or AVI file to use in your video editing software

Im looking to start recording my xbox 360 gameplay. I am probably going to buy a hauppage hd pvr or a platinum?

Baker

If i get the happauge hd pvr, what video editing software can i use with it? Sony Vegas Pro is way too expensive for me.....and if i get the dazzle what video editing can i use with it?

Answer
First off dont even waste your time with dazzle, it will just give you an headache and many bad recordings with sound and video out of sync. So save yourself now. Your best bet is a hd pvr.

If you have a standalone tristar mx hd pvr recorder, or a hauppage hd pvr, you can use that.

Plug the PS3 (xbox 360 or ds or wii) into the tristar mx hd pvr INPUT ports, and plug the tristar mx hd pvr OUTPUT ports to your TV. Change the input on the hd pvr so you see your PS3 on the TV (this means the signal from the PS3 is going through your tristar mx hd pvr.) Pop in blank micro sd card, flash drive, thumb drive, or just record to the internal hard drive, start your game and hit record on the tristar mx hd pvr.

When you're done, hit stop on the tristar mx hd pvr.

You can now watch the video you just made from hd pvr player by pressing play or put into your PC's by the USB cable and edit it using Microsoft Movie maker, or whatever other video editing tool you have. Once the tristar mx hd pvr is connected to your computer, you can convert it into whatever format you need based on your ultimate purpose (like posting to youtube.). Keep in mind you can also connect it to your computer by a network cable too. Or just burn micro sd card or flash drives all day. You can even make copies for your friends to show off your work. You can do all the copying directly from the tristar mx hd pvr. So need to really use a computer ;)

here is an example of the hd pvr i wrote about:
