It's a PC with 4GB of DDR2 ram and<br /> Core 2 Duo processor. I haven't had trouble like this editing videos on<br /> it before. I tried on my laptop which also has 4GB of ram and a Core i5<br /> processor. I have edited videos without trouble on both my machines, so I<br /> am thinking that it is the format of my camera. That's why I now wonder<br /> if there's format I can convert it to that still looks good while<br /> actually allowing me to edit.</p> <p>The video resolution is 1920x1080. I tried Adobe Premiere Pro (that would take ages to render a preview), Sony Vegas (the one just below the pro version, I believe), TrackAx PC (that crashed before I could do anything) and Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 silver.</p> <p>Also, does the bitrate affect much at all? My video's bitrate is 20749.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-edit-my-d5100-video#post-69647 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 06:04:58 +0000 Charles Schultz 69647@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What size is the format you are editing in, if it is not 1080 it will slow your system down greatly if it is not a beast of a machine.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-edit-my-d5100-video#post-69646 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 06:03:01 +0000 Cville 69646@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Nola</p> <p>Sounds like you may need more computer power.  Could you post the specs on the computer you are using and someone will be able to better respond.  Also note what editing programs you have used.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-edit-my-d5100-video#post-69645 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 04:41:34 +0000 Nola 69645@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>When I try to edit the video from my Nikon D5100, it is incredibly slow and stuttery in whatever video editor I try to use.

It takes about two seconds to add a cross dissolve or fade-to-black. Plus, faster doesn't always mean better. It is possible to edit too fast, which results in mediocre editing.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66981 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:35:00 +0000 samlamke 66981@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Although in-camera edits cannot be undone, the upside is that by using digital dissolves and fade-to-black sparingly, you can reduce the post editing effort significantly.  The game plan is to find the most time efficient way of producing event videos so that you can be a true weekend warriior and keep your day job.</p> <p>I see the old SONY DSR-250 was a work horse for event work and it had many in-camera editing features.  I was wondering what current camcorder fills the niche of the DSR-250.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66734 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 16:55:08 +0000 grinner 66734@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> white van?</p> <p>He's the guy sittin in the back in the monkey suit. the one with the laptop.</p> <p>Does make for a speedy product.

Easy enough to do. You feed the editor tapes or cards as ya go and he keeps things simple, spitting out awesomeness by the end of the night. He can get some titles ready beforehand, build any photo montages that may have been purchased, had all songs ready, ect. You'd shoot as you normally would, not with the in-camera editing vibe you first mentioned. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66729 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 13:18:59 +0000 WSanford 66729@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Actually, it is more difficult to edit in camera.

I did this sort of thing 'back in the day' on a VHS camcorder shooting weddings. I planned ahead and stored titles in the camera and used the 'cheezy' fade-ins and outs. Everything was linear editing and the tape was completed at the end of shooting at the reception. There was quick delivery of product but there was not much room for error along the way. I moved on to DV and computer edting and never looked back. In my opinion there aren't any good reasons to edting in camera. Hope this helps.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66726 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:32:40 +0000 grinner 66726@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Because edit suites were seven figures at the time, I edited in camera a lot in the 80s. Never did I make it obvious by using the cheezy in camera effects though. It was just a matter of planning ahead and shooting in the right order much of the time. I'd never practice this on a paying gig though. Just no reason to. You'll be editing a wedding anyway (titles, music, time, ect). May as well do it all in post and save yourself some time and heartache. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66725 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:28:10 +0000 EarlC 66725@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I agree with Rob's comments and would go further to add that attempting to perform "in-camera" edits (while/during) an event is in progress is probably going to generate some serious problems that might or might not be fixable in post, causing more time and effort than any post production editing minimization.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66724 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:14:49 +0000 robGRAUERT 66724@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>That sounds like horrible advice. I've never worked with in-camera edits, but it sounds like something you can't undo when you're editing. Therefore, it dramatically reduces flexibility. I doubt it saves time in post either. Takes me about half a second to add a fade-to-black to a clip in Final Cut. Im sure the same goes for any other editing program.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-camera-is-best-for-in-camera-edits#post-66723 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:02:29 +0000 samlamke 66723@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I'm trying to follow the advice of an ebook "Start Up A Photography or Videography Business On A Shoestring". </p> <p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OA6EUM">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OA6EUM</a></p> <p>The advice is that for covering weddings and other events, the camcorder should have in-camera edits.  The in-camera editing features should help minimize post production editing.</p> <p>The authors recommend the Sony DSR-250 which has a fade-to-black, various wipe transitions, and a digital dissolve.  Since this camcorder is standard definition, is there another camcorder with the same or similar in-camera editing features, but in HD?</p> <p>Thanks, Sam</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-movie-edit-pro-12/page/3#post-65578 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 03:27:40 +0000 jager 65578@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am reading everything you guys write here and I'm envy.

Learning how to make your cuts and transitions is a way to get familiar with you software. </p> <p>The next level that becomes more difficult is learning when to use certain transitions and cuts. Just because it is available in your software does not mean you have to use it. It can be hard to follow if the video appears to be nothing but random cuts and transitions. It all depends on what you are trying to tell/show your viewer.</p> <p>In reviewing your video I found some of the transitions confusing because the images did not appear to go together. This is important if you are trying to tell a story with your video. You had wonderful images and shots in the video but I had a very hard time trying to "follow" your story.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/travel-video-edit-teaching-myself-final-cut-studio#post-65482 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:19:34 +0000 dtrean 65482@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>@tonyp Mainly I put in a lot of hours just messing around and trying things. I watch alot of tutorials also, on sites like creativecow.com and finalcutking.com, there are alot good free tutorials. I was also just recently told about lynda.com and I plan on checking them out also. I think a good way to learn is to  just put clips on your timeline and spend time just going through all the effects, transitions, etc and just trying them on your clips, mess around and learn. Like taking apart a bike and putting it back together again it helps you get to know what all those parts of the machine are. I like to watch alot of video with good editing and get ideas and inspiration from that too. A combination of all those things  I guess.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/travel-video-edit-teaching-myself-final-cut-studio#post-65459 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:48:21 +0000 EarlC 65459@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Tony, one of the best resources (there are several, but ...) for affordable instruction on FCP is <a href="http://www.lynda.com">Lynda.com</a> check it out.
