Home made digital video?? Help plz?

Question

Dear Yahooers, I have a cheapo DVC, but I want to create a clip for youtube (to expose the truth bout Barrack Hussein Obama) I feel it is my duty to inform the naive (I was very naive when I was in college weren't we all?) What is a easy to use freeware digital editor? Also whre can I get it? I'm very poor, and a struggling writer.

God Bless You!

Answer 1

Political agendas aside, if you own a PC or Mac and are running any of the newer operating systems, your computer should come with a basic video editor.  Windows ME and up should come with Windows Movie Maker, located in Start>All Programs>Accessories.  Check Windows Update for the newest version/fixes for it. If you own a Mac, it most likely comes with iMovie.

If those don't quite suit you for any reason, you can try Download.com.  Here's a link to some Freeware programs listed under the Video Editing Section...

Answer 2

Video  Editing  Process *

*CAPTURE / IMPORT  video stream from vcam & video files from pc folders, EDIT  to make the movie as a project, FINISH  (render / save)  movie in the desired video file format and finally, SHARE …burn to CD/DVD.

For starters, XP/ Windows Movie Maker (wmm**) provides simple & easy way (& free) to learn the ropes- <click wmm help for details>. For enhanced effects, try  SpiceFx  by Pixelan,  You may later venture into other video editing programs - Premiere, Vegas, Studio (Pinnacle, Ulead), etc.,accdg to skill level.

Steps:

CAPTURE VIDEO

a.) Connect vcam to pc via firewire cable (4 or 6 pin) for good transfer (USB can do but possible drop frames with effect on quality)

b.) Set vcam mode to playback desired video, adjust settings for capture, then pause

c.) Open wmm and set to TASK PANE

d.) In the wmm/Task pane/CAPTURE VIDEO, click CAPTURE from video device. Wmm should now be able to control vcam operations. On play, video files are copied to wmm/Collection (usually several video files, although will not notice on vcam playback)

e.) Import also other desired files (video, pics, music, narration) from pc folder to wmm Collection

EDIT MOVIE

f.) wmm/EDIT: drag & drop captured video files one by one from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence

g.) Enhance/edit your video further if you wish: drag/drop special effects- transition,  filter; ; create titles… test to your liking (re-edit as you wish)

FINISH MOVIE (rendering)

h.) Save the video file to pc or burn to cd; then Save project file (work-in-progress) for future edits.
