What is the name of a program which allows me to edit movies recorded from a video camera?

Q. I want to be able to edit, add music into the scenes. kinda like a hollywood movie. i have digital camcorder. i want to upload the movie into my computer and play around with the recording. anybody know the program needed for this sort of editing.

My camera is a handycam 20x digital zoom.

A. I'm assuming you have the equipment to convert the tape to a computer format. If not you will need something like Pinnacle Dazzle to convert the video into a digital format so you can edit via your computer.

If you camcorder has a USB or Firewire/IEEE1394 connection you should be able to transfer the video signal to the computer via your video editing software.

If you are on Windows XP or early Vista you have Windows Movie Maker. If on Windows 7 you have Windows Live Movie Maker. If you have a Mac then you have iMovie. If you are not experienced with video editing these are good starter programs that will make it easier to edit your video.

Pinnacle Studio HD also can help transfer the digital signal from the tape if you have a Firewire cable.

If you do have experience and want to movie on up then the next level of video editing software would include Corel Video Studio Pro X4, Adobe Premier Elements, Sony Vegas HD line of products or Serif MoviePlus X5.


Is moving from a Sony HandyCam to a Flip Mino HD a downgrade?
Q. I have a Sony HandyCam DCR-HC21 and I would like to buy a Flip Mino HD. Is that a mistake? I want the best quality I can get for $150 or less.

A. The Sony DCR-HC21 is a miniDV tape based, standard definition video, low compression, camcorder.
The Flip Mino HD is a flash memory based, high definition video, high compression, camcorder.

If the video you want to capture is under good lighting, then both camcorders will do fine - but the Flip will look better because it is recording high definition video.

The HC21:
* has a larger lens system and imaging chips and under low light conditions will behave better.
* records to low compression DV and is much better for fast action video capture.
* has a built-in infrared emitter - "NightShot" mode - and can capture monochrome video under zero-visible light conditions. The Flip cannot "see" in the dark.
* came with a remote control. The Flip has none.
* has 20x optical zoom. The Flip's zoom is WAY less.
* has image stabilization. The Flip does not.
* has manual focus (through the menu). The Flip does not.

The HC21 connects to a computer using firewire.
The Flip uses USB.

The Flip can fit in a pocket - the HC21 is a bit large for that.

It depends what you need - personally, I would stay with the HC21... so yeah, moving from the HC21 to a Flip would be a downgrade.
