Video Editing

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. Neat Video provides the  most accurate video noise reduction  currently available. Neat Video efficiently reduces noise of the following types: - digital sensor noise  produced by digital video capturing devices - film grain  visible in digitized film or analog video - dust ,  scratches ,  compression artifacts  and more. Neat Video is a video noise reduction plug-in for: Premiere Pro , Premiere Elements After Effects Final Cut Pro X / 7 / 6 , Motion, Final Cut Express AVX  hosts:  Media Composer , News Cutter, Avid DS OFX  hosts:  Nuke ,  Scratch ,  Resolve ,  Mistika / Mamba ,  Fusion , Natron, Quantel P...

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...

The simplest answer for this question is YES.Now lets explain why not and how does it speed up render or encoding time. Most graphic card (newest) support CUDA and OPEN GL.Both of these are technologies that use graphic card processor to process data.In other words a Cuda or Open GL graphic card will work with computer CPU and make a faster proccessing.If you use only CPU to render/encode,and then you use both CPU and GPU the second combination will make rendering faster depending on the power and memory of your GPU. CUDA and Open Gl can be found on Nvidia GPU and ATI Radeon.
