Looking to purchase a Canon 7D - looking to understand what's next in my workflow and my editing of video.

Secondly (in addition to that) - do you use a Mac or PC? Actually thinking of a Mac to use iMovie. Have used Pr Element on Win - crashes all the time (V8.0).

I use a mac.. imovie works well but can be very sluggish when it comes to high quality videos. If u get a mac i suggest buying final cut pro.

I shot a short film first time ona canon 7d, I lvoe the shots but it keeps crashing Vegas movie studio. The Files are large MOV, I converted them in to different file type but lose the quality a lot. I am trying to make this for a dvd not the internet. what should I do to reduce the file size but keep the quality?

Answer
Shoot your video with the best quality then edited with good software that you don't have to convert your video format. Then render to MP4 or any HD format. When you burn to DVD, it should be good 480P video quality. I usually kept it the way without burning to disc. DVD is not a good quality. Blu-ray is ok for now. Try not to convert your video until you render it.

What is some good audio equipment for film?

hannabthem

Hey there! I just bought the Canon 7D to play around with for some film projects. I was wondering if anyone has some good advice on what kind of audio equipment to get.
I'm looking for a boom mic and possibly a lapel mic. Nothing too fancy or expensive, but something that will get the job done and make the audio crisp.

Thanks for your help!

Answer
For recording videos, you should have bought an actual camcorder. A zoom recorder will work fine, but you'll need video editing software to sync up the audio.
