Q. more specifically a bell and howard. how good is it if i want to film a youtube series
A. Hi Ryan:
Like anything online or with computers, you need to be accurate (spell things right) with your Question in order to get an accurate Answer. But, I understood what you meant.
You are talking about a "Bell & Howell" brand camcorder. Bell & Howell used to be a well-respected movie camera & film projector brand for over 100 years. (My first home-movie camera & projector was a Bell & Howell 8mm color setup, and the first professional motion picture camera I was trained on (shooting 16mm football sports films) was a Bell & Howell with motor-drive & 400-foot film magazine.)
In 2011, a company called Vista Capital bought the rights to the B&H brand name, and now Bluestar Alliance licenses the brand to various product manufacturers who have no connection to the original company.
From my personal experience, and from reading reviews of the latest "Bell & Howell" branded camcorder imports, the features and quality are not very good.
Even though the name "Bell & Howell" used to represent good-quality movie cameras, no self-respecting professional or competent amateur would be caught using a current Bell & Howell model.
If you'll look at Bluestar Alliance's website (http://www.bluestarbrands.com/ ) you'll notice how many "Text To Be Added" or "under-construction" pages are in the menu links. That doesn't build confidence in the parent company nor the brands it represents.
hope this helps,

How do I edit a 'border' around my video?
Q. I filmed using Hypercam, and i'm editing using Windows Movie Maker. I'm just wondering how I put a border around the video so it looks like it was filmed by a camera (if you get what I mean) with like the battery level in the top right and a rectangle around the area being filmed.
A. Well, Blaine has worked up this custom effect for XP and Vista versions of Movie Maker. It doesn't put a complete rectangle around the frame but it puts corner markers and a slowly flashing "REC" and red dot on it. In the upper left corner it has a battery icon and what looks like a pair of glasses;-)

Oh, be sure to read "How To Use This Title" so you know how to apply the overlay.
Blaine's Movie Maker add ons self install so all you have to do is download the correct "flavor" - 32 or 64 bit - then click on it to install it.
If you want any changes in this effect or some other effect, you can join Windows Movie Makers and post what you want on their Effects, Transitions and Titles Thread. Blaine usually moderates the add on forums.
