1. Start with an end in mind : Do not record all what can be, use a pre-editing sense or think about the end before even start shooting. Do selective shooting. 1 minute of good video takes 1 hour of editing time!
2. Use a Tripod : Do not use handheld cameras if you have an option to use a tripod. The viewing experience will enhance by few magnitudes.
3. Use constant Zoom : Do not zoom when you are on REC mode. Zooming in and out will make your video look horrible.
4. Take short shots : Do not shoot long shots, unless its a performance or an action that is continuous. Typical can be 10 or 20 seconds
5. Take variety shots : Do not take the same shots again and again from the same location - angle. Move around and capture short shots.

ReplyDeleteWindows Live Movie Maker Version 2011 crashes for bigger AVCHD files? Any experience?
Ever used Sony Vegas Movie Studio?
(Trying to remove the Audio tracks (L, R, ++) from Video, but couldn't! Able to mute!)
Sorry, Missed the comments.
ReplyDeleteI havent tried movie maker version 2011. All AVCHDs with imovie/FCP and works cool.
There is a pan option in the Sony Vegas Pro. Has the ability to get any specifc track or level. Let me know what exactly is being tried and I can try to replicate it with my Vegas Studio.
