Some tips for low light noise

Noise can be anywhere in low light conditions but if you use some technices you can eliminate it.

  • Try to shoot as close as you can without zooming in.
  • If you are shooting in Manual mode try not to lower exposure because the noise with be added more.
  • If the subject is too dark dont play with exposure too much but use a lighting flash LED Flash for video.
  • If you are shooting in DV mode not HD mode the noise will be seen less.
  • Anyway you can use video reduction software to reduce the noise more.(Check in my blogg for more)

Video format explained and compared

 This article explains main video formats and later compares with photos the quality. Audio Video Interleave (.avi) Developed by Microsoft and released with Windows 3.1 way back when false teeth were still made out of wood, AVI files have been a work horse of digital video. Although its popularity has been waning, lots of legacy video in AVI can be found all over the web. More recently, AVI has been abandoned for Microsoft's WMV (Windows Media Video). One of the most maddening things about AVI today is that the format doesn't allow for specifying an aspect ratio, so a 16:9 AVI video may start displaying at 4:3 - this is less of a problem if your player allows you to manually select aspect ratios. If you're watching in the non-pro version of QuickTime though, you'll have to learn to live with people being unusually narrow. Advanced Systems Format (.asf) ASF is a proprietary Microsoft container that usually houses files compressed with Microsoft's ...

How video compression works

What is compression? Compression  is a reversible conversion  (encoding)  of data that contains fewer  bits. This allows  a more efficient storage and transmission of the data. The inverse process is  called  decompression (decoding). Software  and  hardware that can encode  and decode  are  called decoders. Both combined  form a codec and should not be confused with the terms data container or compression algorithms. Lossless compression  allows a  100% recovery  of the  original data.  It is usually used  for text or executable files, where a  loss of information is  a  major damage. These  compression algorithms often use  statistical information to reduce redundancies.  Huffman-Coding [1] and  Run Length Encoding  [2] are two popular examples allowing high compression ratios depending on the data.  Using  lossy compression  doe...

1100 $ AMD system to edit 4K

Amd recently has released some great CPU with high cores and low prices. About 305$ you can get an editing beast with 8 cores @3.7 GHz. This cpu will be enough to edit smoothly. There are more expensive cpu and higher cores or higher frequencies but to be honest we don't need real time exporting. You can have a break and drink a coffee while exporting your video. Memory is important. Lower the size the more time it takes to do task. I recommend 16GB DDR4. (2400Mhz or more is great also). That amount will make switching between applications easier and faster. So right now we spent 305 dollars for cpu and 150 for memory (RAM). Sum is 455 $. Lets suppose you are upgrading your system so you have some hard drives and some ssd maybe. I love SSDs for system and as a drive for footages. For the system Samsung EVO 970 will do a great job for 90$ ( Sata m.2 250GB @Read speed up to 3400 MB/s). Asus x470 Pro is a great mainboard for 160$. Also find power supply more than 500w. I recommen...
