Video Editing

This is a short tutorial! Adobe Premiere PRO Encoders dont use too much the graphic card. Graphic cards are so powerful to encode video. So according to Daniel2 there are some pluggins you can add to premiere and use graphic card and cpu together to speed up encoding. Use the power of the Nvidia GPU to massively accelerate your content creation, image processing and production workflows. Some Videos Application Areas • Post-production - massively improved throughput and faster processing • High density multi-channel HD, UHD/4K or 8K recording • HFR Cinema, 8K and beyond broadcast acquisitions - perform ultra high-res HDR recording using commodity IT hardware • High-end VR Production – ultra high-res 360 degree recording and playback • Ultra high-speed recording – in HD, 4K, 8K, 16K or even higher custom resolutions • Mobile 8K and/or multi-cam 4K editing on notebooks • Ultra large scale imaging – much faster processing combined with variable compression qualit...

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...

Magic Bullet Denoiser III Overview Shooting in low light or at high ISO’s can add a lot of noise to your footage. Denoiser gets rid of that without removing detail. Below you'll find a description of how the different controls will adjust your footage. Denoise Reduce Noise:  This is the master control to adjust how much Noise is removed from you footage. Turning this up will require a bit more rendering time as it's removing more noise from your footage. Smooth Colors:  Smooth colors will specifically target color noise found in your footage and work to blend that noise together. Preserve Details:  This operates after Reduce noise in order to bring back detail that may have been lost by high levels of noise reduction. Increase this value to restore detail in your footage. Sharpen Amount:  Reduce Noise can blur your footage at higher settings. Sharpen helps bring some of the lost sharpness back into your footage after the Denoising pass has been comp...

Inside the a7R III is a 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame Exmore R CMOS sensor. Despite its high megapixel count, the a7R III is fast with a continuous shooting speed of up to 10fps with full AF/AE tracking — this is twice as fast as the 5fps offered by the a7R II.Using either the mechanical shutter or the completely silent shooting mode, you can capture a burst of up to 76 JPEG/RAW photos and 28 uncompressed RAW files. In live view, you can shoot at 8fps with minimal viewfinder/LCD lag. The updated BIONZ X processing engine can also process images 1.8 times faster than the a7R II. While a batch of photos is being written to the memory card, many of the camera’s key features are still usable — things like the Function and Menu buttons as well as image playback and organization. Compared to the a7R II, the new a7R III also features new technologies — a gapless on-chip lens design and anti-reflective sensor coating — to achieve better low-light performance and wider dynamic...

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.

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 PAI...

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.

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 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...

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.

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"...

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

We have seen on TV different programs, advertising clips, news and other stuff. But how does it works? Like music playlist softwares there are also video playlist softwares like XTV from Axel, XPlayout, AirBox etc. What this programs do is arranging different video files on pc and sending the output video signal for transmitting. On this software you can monitor audio levels, jump to other video, play, pause etc.

Chroma Key is a choice for those who want to remove video background and replace it. But before starting recording remember these tips : Make sure the backround is lighted and not dark. Make sure to avoid wrinkles Everything same to the color of background will be removed so dont use green or blue clothes. Lets see what happens when the background is not lighted enought. Using Ultra Key in premiere causes shadows and if you remove those shadows the subject becames less accurate, I mean you cant see more details on the edges and you see like something is moving on the hairs. The exact same thing is when the background has wrinkles and those dark areas are very hard to remove, even if in After Effects.   "But you can avoid these problems if you care a little bit by working with the background before the shoot"

I have seen a lot of people complaining about burning disks : low quality,not being able to burn HD video in normal disks (4.7 GB),frames of video not moving smoothly etc. I had these problems until I found a software that was really fast,burning a movie of 90 min in less than half of hour.Also I was able to burn HD movies in normal disks without any visible quality loss.What I see amazing in this software is that you can reduce the quality of audio to improve the quality of video.If you don't want to make wrong calculations you can use smart fit,which automatically fits the video in DVD without leaving any free MB in the DVD (nothing is wasted). This software is called POWER DIRECTOR (a cyberlink software).

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)

Shooting in dark conditions or in high ISO results are video with noise.But you dont have to worry. Neat Video  is a video filter designed to reduce visible noise and grain in video footage produced by digital video cameras, camcorders, TV-tuners, digitizers of film or analog video.

Video compression is about reducing and removing redundant video data so that a digital video file can be effectively sent and stored. The process involves applying an algorithm to the source video to create a compressed file that is ready for transmission or storage. To play the compressed file, an inverse algorithm is applied to produce a video that shows virtually the same content as the original source video. The time it takes to compress, send, decompress and display a file is called latency. The more advanced the compression algorithm, the higher the latency, given the same processing power. A pair of algorithms that works together is called a video codec (encoder/decoder). Video codecs that implement different standards are normally not compatible with each other; that is, video content that is compressed using one standard cannot be decompressed with a different standard. For instance, an MPEG-4 Part 2 decoder will not work with an H.264 encoder. This is simply because one alg...
