I want to capture it, enhance it, as it has degredated over last 25-30 yrs. The videos have lost colors, have disturbance in audio, I want to correct all deficiencies and preserve it for generations to come. What is the best hardware as well as software to do this? What is the best format to preserve this? salsavirtuosa on "Speech editing" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/speech-editing#post-74688 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:56:20 +0000 salsavirtuosa 74688@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ In narration editing it is often needed to shorten the talent's speech by cutting out parts. In normal cases the talent's tone gets lower at the end of the completed sentences. Is there any audio effect or trick by which I can achieve nearly the same effect?

The problem is that I want the grainy film look and other effects to be the same in the rendered final video, but what I'm getting is a crisp video that cleaned up everything. I tried to choose the preview option for the full resolution quality under the file/properties tab but all that did was make it more pixelated and the quality worse but still cleaned up the video. Could someone please help with this? Using Sony Vegas Pro 10 by the way.

I transfer all my .mts files to Apple ProRes 422, and proceed to edit. When I am done with the edit and ready to output, I generally select h.264 but sometimes I use Mpeg 4. When I output my video looks a little pixelated and not near as sharp as others that use h.264. I might be overlooking a setting when I export, hence the question here in the forum.

I always have to render things, and the playback often stalls after only being able to see a few seconds of what I have done. I tried everything from watching in a smaller screen, to adjusting the RT playback, but it still stutters and stops during playback. The other question is, Why do I have to render so much. I convert my .mts files to .mov using Toast. I convert using the Apple ProRes 422 codec. If I have two tracks of video that I lay down on top of each other, when I go back to play one I have to render the one I black out. I spend entirely to much time rendering when I know people are editing much faster.

I am just an amature video editor, so I need some help trying to figure out how to use a feature for video editing. I have Studio 14 HD. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I want to have a video overlay on a video....not sure if that is the correct term(s), but kinda like this: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qbr3IB92ms]YouTube - Final Fantasy XIII Demo -- running around and battle[/url] I want something like that; a gauge filling up to the end, ENGLISH text in the actual bars (which I can edit, so I can put anything I want). Also want to know if I can make the cursor (the white glove in this case) move like that, so I can tell it where to go as I edit. Also would like to know if the above solution is also the same as adding an Xbox 360 achievement notification. This is all assuming I have the correct software. Thanks regardless of any future solution, and thanks for taking the time for reading my post. Heres to hoping!

I'm currently editing the first episode to a new web series that I'm creating. I rented two field cameras from a TV station and shot the episode outside with both cameras. When I came back to edit, one camera had recorded the footage nicely, while the other recorded everything in a blue hue as if the camera had a blue filter on it (But it didn't). I am now playing around with Final Cut Express trying to get the blue hue footage to look like the regular footage and the Color Corrector filter is not solving the problem--either I'm not using it right or it's not up to snuff. Does anyone know a) how to solve my problem, b) of any software that might solve my problem? I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5 on my computer, but have not used either of these yet--if you can help me resolve my problem using either of these, please let me know. To view the blue hue, please go to: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/totallybragging" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/totallybragging</a>. The first shots of the girls have the blue hue. And later on in the trailer when Cortney says "Bragging" that's the color I'd like to have on the blue hue shots. If this problem cannot be resolved, I'm thinking that I can just convert the blue footage to black and white, which might work??? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I need a monitor that will give me an accurate picture of what the video will look like, especially on tv. I started researching monitors and they all are way out of my price range. Would it be a good idea to get a tv instead? Or is there a good enough computer monitor no more than $300.

I am confused on one thing: I want to film a person addressing the camera and have them in a medium shot during some of the talking and then close up during some of the more important talking. Do I do this during the shoot or do I just zoom in the film during post production? I would prefer to do this during post production, since it would be easier, and I don't have to confuse the actor with different cuts, but I worry if I do this during the shoot, the zoom will be different every time since I have no way of judging each zoom, but then, I worry that if I do this during post production, the film will loose quality when I pull in. Not sure how the pros do this.

I have a Canon HG10 which is wonderful little camcorder which I'm told shoots in AVCHD. Now, I always thought it filmed .mov because that's what it comes up as when I upload the footage on to imovie. I was recently helping my mother choose a camcorder and did some research as she doesn't have a Mac but a PC so I was looking for compatibility issues etc. Anyway I've found a lot of people saying that imovie'11 doesn't have support AVCHD and also found out that that is supposedly what my Canon HG10 films in. So my question in why does my Canon work fine (and come up as .mov files) when working with imovie...yet everybody says AVCHD doesn't work with imovie? And my second question, I may be looking to upgrade my camcorder to a mid-level Canon XA10 HD 'pro' camera, which also films in AVCHD. But I don't want to buy it and find that it won't work with imovie or other Mac editing software. (I'm learning Express and Pro but imovie is just sooooo much easier to use!). So is there anyway I can find out once and for all, whether it will work on a Mac? (And as a little aside: if there are so many problems with AVCHD compatibility and editing, why do so many of the camcorders these days use it?!)
