I'm still very much new to this and I don't really know what I'm doing.</p> <p>The camera I'm using is a &lt;span style="font-size: 1.1em; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sony-CCD-TRV138-Handycam-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B0007M3PJ4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">Sony CCD-TRV138 Hi8 Handycam</a>. It's at least a year old, I essentially got it as a gift and I don't really know how much it was used beforehand. It's been through some wear over the course of a year (in the worst case, a drunken idiot about smashed the camcorder) but was not used frequently for much of the time, I've only been able to convert two tapes to digital so far. Unfortunately the last tape I recorded was of considerably poorer quality, it seemed fine in the playback on the camcorder, I used a hi8 tape that had just been purchased, and I took it to a local business to get it converted. The video quality is much more distorted now.</p> <p>I have a feeling I'm going to need to invest in a new camera somewhere down the line eventually, most of my peers seem to like the "old school" vibe from these hi8 tapes and say that the audio quality is much better than most digital recordings that they're used to. Most of the digital cameras I've looked at seem like they'd break into pieces if I sneezed on them as well, and if you watch the videos you'll be able to tell that that's a bit of a problem in the environment I'm recording in.</p> <p>Here are two examples of footage I'm talking about. The first video was taken about a year before the second one, and I used to the same business to get it converted. As you can tell the quality in the second video is much more distorted. Before I could record the second video I had to use a cleaning tape. What exactly is the distortion in the second video and what could be causing it? Is the problem from the camera or the conversion? Will I probably need to find a new camcorder?</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo1_ycxWol0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo1_ycxWol0</a></p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/27851057" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/27851057</a></p> <p>(disregard the description of the second video, it's a joke if it isn't obvious, the recording took place very recently)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/improving-video-quality-with-premiere-elements-80#post-56877 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:45:46 +0000 some_person 56877@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;p class="content"&gt;How do I improve a video's quality through Premiere Elements 8.0? By that, I mean make the entire video look sharper. On my camcorder, the video looks alright, but when I upload it into Elements, it becomes blurry. I tried adding a Sharpen video effect, and when I rendered the video, I changed the size to 640x480 (from 320x240), increased its quality, and had the MPEG-4 setting. While this did improve the quality, some parts are still noticeably blurry. Any suggestions on how to further improve the video quality? Thanks. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-video-quality#post-51821 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:44:04 +0000 Dane 51821@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have just upgraded my pc to a Intel dual core with 2GB ram. But I still seem to get poor quality. I am using Magix Movie Edit Pro 12. What pc specs do I need for good quality production? I am talking about clear picture?
