Re: [videoblogging] Re: Slow HD editing
I use VoltaicHD on mac for my HD videos, as the camera stores them as .mts files so I need to convert before editing. (& I couldn't get mpeg streamclip to do this) works well. though yes, it takes time & makes large files but they convert down afterwards to smaller files. which is sometimes why I want to just do sd with nokia n95 as it's much more convenient/quicker to upload. 2009/11/9 David Jones > > > On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 1:59 AM, compumavengal > > wrote: > > > > David J.

At present I can edit my Xacti HD MP4's direct with Video Studio X2, but there is of course the slowness issue, but it's do-able, three blogs so far prove that it's almost workable... And VS X2 can also export MP4's direct, but unfortunately not 1280x720 resolution. So it's almost the ideal package. Looks like the (newer?) VideoStudio Express 2010 supports HD, I'll have to give that a try: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1175263344580#tabview=tab1 > I'll keep a look out for a .mp4 editing/export program.

This is why video editors are in such demand. I know the RED camera demands a very specific "process" to prepare the clips to be edited and then exported. If you know this process, then you'll have editing work for the next 5 years. As others on this thread have expressed, it feels like it should just work. Import, edit, done. But many of us have struggled with various workflows to make it simple. Unfortunately, it takes time. It sounds like you have a good handle on the technology so please research and test. You could very well find a solution that you can share. Maybe Apple will make a camera that records in a format that FCP can edit. Vertical monopolies!

[videoblogging] Re: Slow HD editing
David J. I get it, you want what you want how you want it. I might have found an option that isn't gonna cost money to try the demo. VoltaicHD http://shedworx.com/voltaichd I haven't used this program so I can't attest to the quality. It states that it can convert to any Mac and PC option so it seems that you can import, light edit and export via .mp4 http://shedworx.com/voltaichd-howto has videos of the product in Mac format but there is a PC version of the software program. The Sanyo Xacti 1000HD and a bunch of the consumer HD camcorders are listed. This is a list of the supported camcorders http://shedworx.com/supported-devices You could try using Virtual Dub http://www.virtualdub.org/ and then download the QT plugin. There is a discussion of it on a VideoHelp forum page. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/mp4-remux-t368139.html There is nothing wrong with Virtual Dub. This could work if you use another bit of software. Which isn't what you want. I'll keep a look out for a .mp4 editing/export program. In the meantime, I think you are going to have to be open to the possibility that you will have to transcode and possibly downsize the videos. Sure more RAM is always good but if the current editing packages don't truly support the newer HD video formats then you have to go in search for workable alternatives. Eventually as more HD camcorders flood the market there will be complaints lodged at the video editing vendors. They will get their act together when one of the vendors figures out how to do it and then market to that population.

Vegas (or Premiere) would be able to > export a good quality MP4 direct from your timeline. Just download > the trial of Vegas and try it. It's great. I already said I *have* tried Vegas (Platinum) as recommended, and for the life of me I cannot find a way to output MP4 in 1280x720. If it's there then please point me to where... I've hardly used it, but I go to the obvious Make Movie output screen and it only gives me 1440x1080 or higher for Sony AVC which seems like the only MP4 option. Perhaps I'm missing the obvious? If I have to convert first and editing 1280x720 H.264 direct is an absolute waste of time, then so be it. But really, with Video Studio I feel so close, I can't help pushing until I get it. Sorry if I seem overly stubborn, but also please remember that everyone has different requirements. What might be not usable/not possible for your needs might be perfectly adequate for my needs. In fact VS has moments when it lets me trim and preview without any major problems, but this seems fairly random. So perhaps going from 2G to 3G RAM will the trick for me. I also have not optimised my machine for performance. If it can work *sometimes* then why not all the time on a good/optimised machine/software? Some people have mentioned you have to get a more "editable friendly" MP4 codec, so that gives me further hope that's it's actually possible. I can't believe there is no one out there successfully editing 1280x720 MP4 directly, anyone? I'm tackling this problem in two separate areas: 1) Basic editing of 1280x720 MP4 video 2) Direct outputting of 1280x720 MP4 video Ideally I want a program that lets me do both with minimal work. Thanks. Dave.
Re: [videoblogging] Re: Slow HD editing
Amused as I am by you telling David H that he's off the mark, just as he sounds like he's about to blow... (wait - 3, 2, 1, I think I can hear him popping like Krakatoa from 7000 miles away) He's actually right. MP4 - particularly H264 MP4 - are notoriously bad to edit with. They *look* editable, but they grind and crunch and take forever to render and slip out of sync and won't be trimmed and cause your software to crash. Getting a faster processor won't help you. Even people with blazing fast Macs and Final Cut Pro can't cut H264. So you *do* have to transcode them first. It will speed *everything* else up. It's one of the reasons I edit all my clips from little cameras & phones in iMovie or Vegas. iMovie converts to DV codec as it imports - and in my opinion the absolute best thing about Vegas is that it doesn't do any conversion - you put the clips in the timeline and cut. Which is why I recommended it to you. Although there's still a chance that it would have trouble editing big H264 MP4 files because H264 is a bugger to edit. Weirdly I had a conversation a bit like this - but the other way round - with David H on Twitter about 2 years ago when I complained about not being able to edit my point & shoot and phone MP4s in Final Cut Pro. Lots of other people were complaining about it - but David's FCP was editing his MP4s fine at that point. I think that was before he got his Xacti - and Xacti files for some reason seem to cause more of a problem than most. In fact, I just remembered, one time I did have trouble editing Xacti files on Vegas. Unless you want to try Vegas, you're going to have to transcode the clips. It's like taking things off tape - but you don't have to watch & log while you do it - you can batch convert a bunch of clips while you sleep or do something else. Honestly, Google it online - in almost every type of editing, there's some kind of preparation of clips. It seems like an insane waste of time, I know - why can't the editing companies adapt their software so we don't have to do this whole extra step, when it seems so close? But at the moment, it's necessary. If your editing software won't output a good enough video file, that's another truly unnecessary extra step - and one that's costing you an extra level of compression. Vegas (or Premiere) would be able to export a good quality MP4 direct from your timeline. Just download the trial of Vegas and try it. It's great.
