Complete Guide : Full HD to DVD

Compressing a HD or Full HD Video to DVD is sometimes boring and impossible. Softwares like Nero won't allow you to convert video to DVD 4.7 GB unless its a SD Video file. So the best way to do this is using Cyberlink Power Director. Get  here trial . Once you have downloaded it lets start. After entering in Full Feature Editor import a Full HD Video and add it in timeline. Now you have to click on Create Disc If you like you can set up or remove menu. Then go to 2D disk and if your video is long more that 65 min select Smart Fit instead of HQ Best quality. !!!! DONT SELECT SMART FIT IF YOU VIDEO IS SHORT BECAUSE IT WILL SHOW BLOCKS!!! Now just click on burn in 2D.

Should I do free photo/video works?

Lot of people think your car is a free taxi (lol) and lot of others think your camera gear is like their phone,  and lastly they think a shutter click is like a mouse click that doesnt cost anything.  Well when buying a mouse actually it comes with a number of clicks. So to start lets look at how much are your costs.  You have a camera and lets suppose you got it as gift. But you have to buy lenses.  I'm not talking about people with one cheap lens.  If you are a pro your gear is made of lots lenses, batteries,  memory cards.  So you will pay for a memory card,  of you shoot video your card should be safe and fast, and to be safer you have to replace memory cards regulary.  Till now we added some camera gear.  What about editing computer? Card Readers,  external storage?  Current Bills?  Who is going to pay those?  People are going to complain and they will continue to do that again and again. But remember : YOU PAID to have that camera,  gear, computer etc. Working free means no

MPEG 2 vs H264 vs H265

As time moves away,  compression techniques are created.  As a beginning we all have seen an AVI movie about 2 hours and equal to 30-40 GB. After that nee techniques were invented with a main reason : Same quality, less storage.  MPEG group created  some compression  standarts like MPEG1,2 and 4 but MPEG 2 became really  important and is being used in many devices.  What about H264 and H265? Well,  the quality is the same but they use less memory in your disk,  H265 < H264 < MPEG 2. But, is H265 worth? Well the simpliest answer is you but rembere : the higher the compression the higher the export time is. So if you have a powerfull computer use it. But  H265 is new and it is not tested in some devices. The good news is that google supports H265. This format is the greatest solution for youtube videos.

Export Movies to USB for TV playback

This is done by simply steps : 1. Get a good USB ( USB 3.0 are better than 2.0 because they offer much transfer  rate. 2.Format your USB in NTFS because it will allow files bigger than 4GB 3.Export your movie in MPG2 or H264. MPEG 2 is better in this case because the TV can decompress  easily the video. 4.Export the video to computer first because  an USB unplug can be a big problem 5.Copy the movie to USB 

Why Premiere is much better than Pinnacle

Why Premiere is over Pinnacle. Pinnacle Studio is the best software for beginners  but does not offer much for professional editors.  Here are some keys where Pinnacle Studio fails. -Use of computer resources.  Editing a short clip is great but when you add some hours of videos the program starts to respond less and you cant edit as fast as you can. -Hollywood  FX are really  nice but noy for professionals.  It shows nothing more than an amateur  work.  (Who needs page peels, books opening and birds flying as an transition?) - Appearence.  Till Pinnacle  15 I was really amazed  with its appearance but from 16 to 20 or 21 last versions I dont like it.  Im not judging  by my preference but Its not practical. Effects tab scrolling  down is really boring. -Too much versions. Still from pinnacle studio 9 which I remember  to 10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18_19,20....  What the hell is going on?  Looks like Pinnacle has bugs and thats why every  year new versions  are introduced. <sc

Adding Video Subtitles in Premiere (Easiest method)

How I add Subtitles in Premiere Having a long movie for subtitles  is sometimes boring because  you have to choose the easiest way to do it.  First I import  the video and from that video create a new sequence  so I cant decrease  quality from firstly  create sequence  and then add the video. I create a subtitle the first one with the size and font I like and after that copy and paste the subtitle in project.  (100 Times if the movie is long for ex 20 mins) After that I switch into Title Mode and then just drag and edit subtitle without caring about font, size and colour.

Dealing with storage when you have less sata ports.

Having a normal computer with 4 sata ports sometimes is not enough. Buying a Sata extender still is not the right thing because a PCI has a maximum of about 120 MB/S and sometimes doesnt work because of DMA errors. So right now you have two sata connected one to the system OS, and one to the DVD Drive. With two free sata you cant get much storage. So the solution is a server. Yes a SERVER. A cheap one. Find a computer you dont use. Now on the other computer you have 4 free sata for storage. In one of hdd make a small partion for the main os to install. After Installing windows share all the drives to everyone in the network sharing center. All late computer mainboards have gigabit ethernet adapter so you will have a bandwith of 1000Mb/sek. <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle"      style="display:block; text-align:center;"      data-ad-format="fluid"

Computer Requirements for editing HD Video.

HD video needs a powerful computer to be edited but not an expensive one. I have been edited anamorphic videos (1440x1080) with a HP Mini tour which has an I5 2400 Cpu, 8Gb DDR3 memory, 120GB SSD for Os, 2 HDD 7200 RPM 500 GB, Geforce 210 Graphic card. It edits smoother and fast.    The main hardware for editing is CPU. Above core i5 2400 everything will be OK    Second a good SSD will make your system work faster    The amount of RAM Recommended is 8GB but 16 will be great. Buy this parts CPU http://destyy.com/q62sLI GPU http://destyy.com/q62d0R SSD http://destyy.com/q62dT1 Most of the people worry about rendering time. Actually it is not a problem waiting a little bit. So a good graphic card is neccessary for a smooth editing. Check out hp  HP Z8 With 3TB RAM JOIN THIS SHORT LINK TO START MAKING MONEY
