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 not respecting your job and let other people without working because people look first at the price.  Just think it!

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

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.
