Q. I have been shooting video with my JVC Everio GZ-E10, and editing it with iMovie 09, but I can't seem to get that clean polished look of professional clear HD video, does anyone have any suggestions or tips for me?
A. Start with low-compression, high quality video capture. In your case, that will be difficult because the GZ-E10 is a consumer grade camcorder that captures high compression video. The best you can do - assuming you don't change the camcorder - is to check the camcorder's options and be sure you are recording in "highest quality".
We don't know what you are comparing to. Generally, the camcorders and cameras used in professional projects use video capture devices with much larger lens diameter and imaging chip systems compared to your camcorder. Without knowing the actual filter diameter (no spec) your camcorder's lens diameter is probably in the 30mm range and the spec on the single imaging chip is about 1/6 inch. Compare this to pro-grade camcorders that have 70mm lens diameter or larger aand if a camcorder, use a 3CMOS or 3CCD imaging chip array that is 1/3 inch or larger.
Then there's lighting. Your camcorder's small lens and imaging chip require LOTS of lighting (this is a Physics issue) to properly behave.
Assuming we get all the above done, that leave how the video gets from the camcorder into iMovie (hopefully also at "highest quality"), and rendering the final project from iMovie (don't use the preset Share: Export Movie..., use the "Share: Export using Quicktime..."
Export: Movie to Quicktime Movie
click options
Video settings: Compression type h.264... Compressor: Quality: High or Best... leave the rest alone
OK
Video: Size: Dimensions 1980x1080 HD and check mark in the de-interlace.
OK.
OK.
Name the file and set the destination. Save.
Playback on your computer will be different from playback on YouTube and other sites.
Experience is probably the biggest contributor. Someone with no experience and no skill using the best equipment available will usually capture poor video. Someone with experience using low end equipment can capture good video because they know the first step it to learn the limitations of the equipment and use the equipment in a manner in which it was designed to be used - not try to make the equipment do something it was not designed to do.
How do I get my Canon FS200 Cam-corder to sync to or be recognized on my Mac?
Q. I have a Mac OSX version 10.4.11 which comes with Imovie 6.0.3 and if updating my imovie to imovie '09 is the answer then i want to be completely sure because if i do that i have to buy the entire "ilife" pack to get imovie '09 and it is $80 and i don't want to do that to find that my computer still won't recognize my camera.
A. As the videos from Canon FS200 Camcorder is formated as. mod, which is hard to compatible with popular formats. I would like to suggest you to try a useful and rewarding tool-Mac Mod Converter for it can easily convert the.mod to the iMovie supporting format. Furthermore, it can also convert other video files to the formats-MOV, MP4, AVI, MPG,DV etc for playable on lots of media players and portable devices.
