I'm getting a Canon 5d mark ii soon. Can anyone suggest some video editing software that I could use for it?

Laura

Like I said, I'm a photo major and I'm buying a canon 5d mark ii. I definitely want to experiment with video. Does anyone have any video editing software to recommend? I want to be able to cut things up, lay audio over things, and I want to be able to put coloring effects on it, like messing around with RGB curves in photoshop. The cheaper(or free-er), the better. Thank you!

Canon 7d vs 5d Mark ii (2012???)?

Brian

I am wondering whether I should stick with my Canon 7D or sell it to purchase a Canon 5d Mark ii.

I am a student and videographer/photographer with some experience, but not as much as I feel is needed to conclude what is best for this decision. I mostly shoot time-lapse photography and use RAW images to produce HDR photos / time lapses. I also shoot video, mainly non-work but it is nice to have the 60, 30 and 24 fps options (compared with Mark ii 30 fps).

While I love the 7D, my problem with the 7D is the soft images I feel the pictures and video produce as compared with the Canon 5d Mark ii. I have had my Canon 7D since 2010 and shoot everything manually, making pictures as sharp as possible, using my kit lens (28-135 mm).

Since purchasing the camera, I notice the sharpness of video and pictures that the Canon 5d Mark ii produces. No matter what it is, I feel like the 5D Mark ii always outperforms the 7D.

I still get very sharp photos and video with my 7D, but the 5D Mark ii seems to produce ever sharper.

Is this something common that anyone else has noticed? Perhaps it is a personal preference.

I feel that I can either invest in different and better lenses and software for post editing, or invest in a different camera body altogether.

The Mark ii should be going down in price because of the Mark iii due.

Answer
My general view is that lens upgrades have a greater image improving effect than body upgrades but not sure how that transfers to an APS-C to full frame sensor. Are you 7D/5D comparisons with the same photographer, lens, lighting and scene? Are you using L series lenses on the 7D?

Seems to me you have already made up your mind to go for the 5D. Go for it! But don't forget that the high megapixel full frame sensors NEED L series lenses to get the definition the sensor performance demands.

Video Editing software to make youtube videos?

TedRoy

I'd like to start making Youtube videos, I don't have a camera so the majority of the videos I have in mind will be using existing video files and cutting them up, just to get a feel for editing before I go out and buy a camera.

I'm looking for a reasonably simple to use FREE video editor, any open source ones around that are easy to use? I've found a few but they're a bit too hardcore for me.

Answer
--- This will help you....

use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)... it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/lyric/etc).... then save it as video file such as wmv file format... finally upload.

or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces....

this will help you.... Use 'zillatube'. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.

Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.

It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker... save your file as wmv and then upload.

It works very well....just google search for "zillatube"

Video editing software?

???

For Christmas, I would like to get a video editing software. I have been making Youtube videos and just uploadign them without editing them. I would like to make my future uploads more professional looking. I am a complete beginner at editing. Does anyone have any suggestions on a simnple-to-use, yet professional editing software that I could buy? Thanks!

Answer
Hello Sara, there are several good video-editing app. they are listed below.

1. Windows Movie Maker 2012
Windows Movie Maker is supremely easy to use. Just drag and drop a few clips onto the program (most formats are supported) and immediately they're assembled into order; transitions and special effects are just a click away.

2. Kate's Video Toolkit
While there's nothing too surprising in Kate's Video Toolkit, it does provide some basic but useful editing features. So you can trim files or join them, link two videos with a transition, create a sequence of videos with a custom soundtrack, and there's a simple file format conversion tool as well.

3. Avidemux
Avidemux is a small but capable open source video editor which can help you join clips, cut them (without re-encoding), and apply a lengthy list of useful filters (Add Logo, Crop, Flip, Rotate, Resize, Sharpen, Remove Noise, tweak brightness, contrast colours and more).

4. VSDC Free Video Editor
Non-linear video editors can take some time to learn, and VSDC Free Video Editor is no exception (a lack of useful documentation doesn't help, either).
If you persevere, though, you'll find a capable editor with plenty of functionality: drawing and selection tools, plenty of colour and lighting corrections, some useful filters, transitions, audio effects and more.
