ok ~I'v got "Arcsoft Showbiz", windows movie maker, that came
installed with the pc, plus Sonic Foundry Vegas4+ dvd architect.. now
it's time to get started!
I could use a few pointers and any advise to get underway.... and an
understanding of the process of transferring a home movie from my
digital camera - "Sony Digital handycam "trv740e", and getting a god
quality dvd at the other end!
I'v transferred a small portion to Arcsoft and also to Vegas, as a
test.. captures the video and sound ok - but Hmmmm editing is going
to be a steep learning curve I think! "avi" I think it's be a lot
easier in storybook format with frames that could eb altered etc etc~
but right now I'm wondering about quality! the resulting avi from the
minute or so capture looks terible! really looking like it came from a
cheap camera, blurry pieces, I'v viewed the video via the tv, and
yaaah! it looks good.. I '[d hate to go burn anything to dvd if the
result is going to be the same as I'm seeing here from the AVI --- or
does the software re-render and clean all that up when sending to cd?
I really don't have a clear understanding of the process - the
resulting avi for example - I play that back.. and get a particular
"window" size on screen - when it goes out to dvd and from there to
the tv - am I going to get a full screen view or is it going to be
as-I-see-it on the pc?
Editing an avi? how do I go about cleaning up portin where - for
example I'v moved and been a bit unsteady! might want to cut those out
and perhaps replace with a still shot... then continue with the
movie...
sorry.. I'm asking way to many questions.... time might be the best
thing to deal with it, and not try running before I can at least crawl
!!
but.. any and all pointers to anything ~ much appreciated--
particularly liek to have the quality question answered though - IS
what I see in the AVI.. ging to be what I see in the end product dvd -
or does that get cleaned up somehow?
all the best to ya'all.
