What kind of video editing software can you use for a gl1 camcorder?

Q. I have a canon gl1 camcorder and i was wondering if there is any software you can use (i you even can) to edit videos and such.

A. Pretty much any half decent video editor can handle standard definition DV format digital video. Even MovieMaker (bundled with Windows XP - SP2 or newer - including Vista).

You need a firewire cable to connect the DV port of the camcorder to the firewire port on the computer. USB won't work. USB to firewire converter/adapter/hub/cables won't work.

If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully it has an available expansion slot so you can add one.

In this context, firewire, IEEE1394, i.LINK and DV are all the same thing... and they are not USB.

With the minDV tape based camcorder connected via firewire, power up the camcorder and put it into Play or VCR mode. Launch the video editor and Import or Capture the video.


Can blurry still pictures taken from a camcorder be corrected to look crystal clear?
Q. Own a Sony Handycam. The camcorder can be set to record live action as well as take still pictures. However, when still pictures are taken, they look completely blurry. Is this result the nature of using a video camera to function as a still camera or is there a way to correct the mess?

A. Nope....

You may be able to correct just a tad. An image taken with a camcorder is most likely very small pixel-wise, 5MP (give or take). And being that you state the still was captured during motion, the image was bound to be blurry anyway. Using an image editor, use the Sharpen tool or Unsharp mask, etc. on the image and see what you get.
