As this part of Yorkshire has ground to a halt again because a bit of snow has fallen, I have decided to have a browse through the archive of video footage I have here. There are several formats depending which camera it was taken with.
As many sota-ists(?) are also keen movie makers, could anybody suggest a reasonably priced, easy to use (idiot proof!) movie editing software product please? I intend to post to Youtube, and also produce DVD’s for playback on the house TV (HD).
The standard of production of SOTA video’s has always amazed me, if anybody can help me get to this kind of quality I can bore you all with hours of activations etc!!
And this is to run on your SGI Indy box running IRTX 6.5 ?
Or to be less sarcastic, even though 95% of the time it will be for Windows it would help people if you were to at least hint at the OS and type of PC so they don’t suggest things of zero use to you. Such as iPad video editing software.
For editing I’m using Movie Maker and export it as .wmv. You can also export to youtube (never tried).
In a 2nd step I take Format Factory and convert the edited video to .mp4 for my iPad 1 (the same file .mp4 works also on my Sony HD TV).
I use windows movie maker provided free with the o/s. I think the features improve with later versions of windows. Once you have edited the movie, you have a choice of popular formats to save it (jpeg, wmv etc) I find this more than adequate for my needs.
