Free Video Editing Program for Sony Vaio Laptop?

Okay, so i have a lot of Christmas videos i took from my laptop and i want to edit them together and put music into it. Can someone tell me a good place to get a FREE video editing program? And maybe even a NON-downloadable program. And i don't want it to take up a lot of memory.

Answer
good Video editing software is not available for free. however, you could use Windows Movie Maker to edit the videos. in case u r using Vista OS, then you can download Windows movie maker from Microsoft web site.

from memory, if you mean the size of the video file, then this depends up on the file format in which you wish to save the final video output. you can save the file in AVI, MPEG 2, MPEG 4 etc formats. the size of each file format is different. while creating the video, the software will give you these details as well. according, you may decide which format to use.

Video Editing Laptop?

RiverEdits

I use Sony Vegas Pro, Cinema 4D, & Adobe After Effects, but my laptop(Sony Vaio) lags & is really slow when I'm editing. What are the fastest laptops for video editing? Ones that won't lag AT ALL. List some for me? I don't want a Macbook, so don't list that, thanks.

Answer
The fastest laptop for video editing is the one with the fastest processor. You can only render video as fast as your processor can handle it. RAM or what video card...that doesn't have anything to do with the speed of rendering.

Answer
I'm not up on the specs required by the latest Adobe software, but the problem that jumps out to me is the hard drive: It's a 5400rpm unit, you would really want a seperate faster hard drive to act as the video scratch.

The Hard drive in the laptop has to run the system and programmes, if you then add in video data then it's not going to be stable with all those MBs getting chucked around.

You need to get a seperate 7200rpm drive. Lacie do rugged drives with this rotation speed, if you have a firewire port they are also bus powered.

I don't see any reference to the bus speed either, you want 768 or preferably faster. This dictates how quickly the various components can communicate. No point having a fast processor and a fast external drive if the system bus speed is strangling it.

These are why desktops are generally the better option for video editing. Unless you use a mac. Which I do.

What's the best way to record video games?

vaio laptop for video editing image

Jose

I want to record and edit video of myself playing PS3 games and old school (genesis, snes) games. I have a a PS3 which connects to my TV with HDMI and a Retron 3 console which connects to my TV with composite AV cables. I have a Vaio laptop with an S Video jack. Also, is there a way to simultaneously record game play and myself? Thanks for your help, also would there be a better place to post this?

Answer
Best way to record classic games is with a Dazzle Capture Card. You buy those new at Best Buy for about 50 bucks. Videos on Youtube will show you how to set it up. You also have to record your game near your computer, or just buy a laptop. You need to connect your Dazzle to your console, then to the PC. Look it up on Youtube.

To record PS3, You can use a Dazzle too, but the quality is bad. If you want to spend $150 to get the best quality out there, buy an HD PVR off Amazon. It's more expensive, and more difficult to set up, but it'll give you the best HD Quality available. If you get the PVR, it'll also work for recording Genesis and Snes games too. So buy a PVR, that'll be all you need. Look on Youtube to be able to set that up too.

What is the best affordable laptop out there right now for multimedia?

vaio laptop for video editing image

Anne H

I'm looking for something under $1200 that can handle multimedia / some video editing, fairly stylish and not too heavy, with good processor power. Prefer a reliable brand.

Answer
Sony Vaio for all the way.

Could I improve my gaming performance if I overclocked the RAM on my CPU?

Inquirer

My Vaio laptop is a few years old. It has an i3 dual-core processor and an Intel integrated GPU. Here are some relevant specs:

RAM: 4.00 GB (3.67 GB usable)
Total video memory: 1751 MB
Dedicated video memory: 128 MB

I want to be able to play higher end games at decent quality, but as of now, all my high-end emulators only run at about 25 fps; I'd like them to run at about 50-60 fps. Seeing as how I can't apparently overclock the RAM on the integrated GPU, could overclocking the RAM on the CPU make a significant difference? If so, by how much should I overclock it?

Answer
You probably could in some cases. What I do, is use a CPU utility to overclock/underclock my CPU, depending on how I'm using it at the time.
High-performance - Hair Trigger Overclock with slow drop for Gaming,
Normal performance - Up to my normal 15x multiplier for standard use.
Power Saving with extreme underclock (down to 4x @ <1V) for when I'm leaving it unattended.
This alleviates all the unnecessary heat buildup associated with a static setup (from BIOS) and saves power. This will also allow you to play around with multipliers & voltages, to find what the limits are and what works best.

I used RMClock Utility 2.35 until I upgraded to a Phenom x4 940, to find it wasn't supported by the software.
I now use PhenomMsrTweaker, which will likely not work with your Intel.

*edit* He's right about the 32-bit & Graphics card. But as many programs aren't coded to use 64-bit, you could still be ok on that count. If you're not ready for a new OS, I would certainly look into getting a separate graphics card... perhaps a used mid/high level for that machine, to take some responsibilities of that CPU. That's the main way you're gonna get more frame-rate.

How can I transfer videos from my video camera?

Crissis

I have a "Sony Handycam CCD-TR517" and of course, it's analog...
I have old videos in 8 millimeter cassettes and well. i want to transfer them to my laptop and then burn them to a CD, i have a Sony Vaio laptop... so i have no idea how the analog video cameras connect to the compu. Do i need a software or just a wire...? what the hell do i need, hahahahaha. PLEASE HELP ME AND EXPLAIN IT STEP BY STEP... THANX!

Answer
The Sony CCD-TR517 is a Video8 analog camcorder. You know this.

You will need the AV cable that came with the camcorder...

If your computer has a Firewire/i.LINK/DV/IEEE1304 port, then you will want to get an "analog/digital converter" like the Canopus ADVC55 or ADVC110.

If your computer has no firewire port and no way to add one, then you are stuck with the USB based A/D converters from Pinnacle (Dazzle) or Roxio - among many others.

Plug the Camcorder's AV cable into the camcorder and the A/D converter.

Plug the A/D converter into the computer.

Put the camcorder in Play mode.

Launch the video editing application or import utility.

Press play on the camcorder.

Import the video.

is the sony vaio cs a good laptop for what i need?

vaio laptop for video editing image

BassMasta

i will be using this laptop for video editing with sony vegas 9 platinum, and general internet things. i will be taking great care of it, and have it plugged-in almost 24/7. what are bad things you have experienced with this laptop? do the pro's outweigh the con's?

Answer
he Sony VAIO CS Series is an inexpensive laptop that is very simliar to the Sony AW series. The CS series comes with a variety of colors: purple, black, red, pink and white with a few extra colors, brown, red and pink, duplicated with a faux crocodile skin. Like AW series, the Sony VAIO CS Series has a touch sensitive AV control pad, making it easy to watch movies or listen to music without having to use the mouse. It also has a built-in MOTION EYE webcam and microphone like the AW, and comes with a free upgrade to Windows 7. One very unique feature that the CS has is its ability to categorize music and arrange it based on the essence of the owner's mood. The VAIO MusicBox software even allows the consumer to just listen to the chorus of a song with the Chorus playback mode.

Pros: Smaller Dimensions Thanks to 14.1-inch Screen, Good General Performance

Cons: Integrated Graphics, Lacks Some Modern Peripheral Connectors, Poor Internal Speaker
