F1 technical Video

Post

Hey Guys, I want to make a Video of Formula one at the end year showing all the great highlights, I already have the videos from all the qualifying and races, but I don't know which video editing program to use. Any help will be apperciated. Thanks
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

M3,

not much experience in dealing with anything other than camcorder stuff, but I use Pinnacle Studio 9 - it's got millions of bells and whistles (most of which I never use), but is easy and intuitive to work with and I find it works pretty well.

i use adobe premier... its pretty good. some of my mates have made a real film with it... its a rock climbing video but would be the same overall effect that you'd be loocking for. relitively easy to use actually. music overlays and thats sort of thing are straight forward and effects are simple too...

Alright, I need your help.

Some time ago, when I asked you for the good software for video editting, you gave me the name of that same software. I've searched the internet, and I've noticed that you've gotta pay for it. The problem is that I don't want any professional software. I don't know how to use it, I don't want to learn, I just want something cheap, simple, and something that will enable me to post some clips on this website.

This is the situation. I've got a Panasonic DVD recorder (I don't know whether the brand makes any difference, but I figured it may save some time if it does) that, once the disc is formatted, uses *.vob format. I've done some research, and I've read that it is basically the MPEG-2. So, I decided to rename it into that format (I'm more familiar with the latter format). Unfortunately, it won't play it the way it is supposed to...i.e. it will play 30 secs (or so) and will skip over 5-6 minutes, then another 30 sec, etc...

What I would like to know is, how can I record certain portions of that file (say 20 sec from the race), in a format that can be seen by everybody (I'm guessing it will be something like *.MPEG, or *.WMP)

Sorry for bothering you, but you seem to be pretty good with this kind of stuff...

I got Power Director for free with TV tuner. Perhpas you can download it with some P2P program?

It is very simple but efficient too. Not a bit more complicated than Windows Movie Maker that hardly ever works without crashing. With PD3 You can convert files to AVI, Mpeg1, Mpeg2, save movies directly on tape, brun them on CD or DVD, create streaming files etc. Also, it enables direct grabbing of TV signal.

It has "trim" option that enables cuting out part you want to use.

To make file universal - playable by everyone who opens it you musn't compress it with some rare codec so stick to default Microsoft ones is you're saving it as .avi. Also, when it matters audio, as much as know DVD players don't support "variable beat rate" and anything above 192 kbps.

If you can't get this program than try cuting out part of footage with Windows Media Player, perhaps it won't crash on your PC.

Feel free to contact me for more help if you need it. :wink:
