Video editing camcorder?

Q. I need to buy a new camcorder for some video editing. Problem is that the only computer I have is windows XP and the only software I have is windows movie maker. Anybody know which camera I should get that would work best with my software?
It's for work. Can't go with MiniDV.


Answer
Flip UltraHD Video Camera is a powerful, easy-to-use, fairly cheap video camera; it records @ 1280 x 720, 60 FPS, and can hold about two full hours of video at that capacity. It fits neatly in a shirt pocket and is pretty much ideal for recording anything that doesn't need to be professionally produced film, from home movies to recording interviews. It comes packaged with a basic editing program that's designed to make it as easy as possible to produce basic home movies and post them to the web.

Funny Youtube video ideas?




c_star


I wanna start making videos for my channel, but I don't have any idea what to do. I want it to be funny though,I don't mind vlogging, or just doing something random. Thanks for any ideas :)


Answer
here are some unique and silly ideas.. that can be funny

1. Time lapse video
Time lapse videos are easy to make â you keep your camera mounted on a place (a street corner or at your office) and start recording. After certain duration, stop recording and bring to the editing room. In your favorite video editing software, fast-forward the video to at least 100 times fast. Then add a background score, that's it.


2. Interviewing someone
Prepare 10 questions to interview someone (if the person is a girl, you will get lot of views), and do a timed 1-minute interview. You can make the questions such that the respondent can answer with just a âYesâ or âNoâ. Or ask a question to many people, say, âWho would you like to see as the next president of USA?â â ask people answer this question with videos (video replies).



3. Provide your own tips
Start recording your camera and go in front and give some tips to the world. Yes, you can provide funny tips on a specific area of your expertise. Choose a wild topic such as, â10 ways to save yourself when a hungry Rhinoceros chases youâ, âThings to do when you are stuck in 10,000 BCâ, â10 things that you want to know about Australiaâ or âTips for organizing a bachelor partyâ. Be creative and think of some wild topic, it should inspire your viewers to post replies and comments.


4. Playing with texts
Use MS powerpoint slides to make compelling statements. Print them and show them in front of the camera and remove one page at a time (give enough time to readers to read the print), end with a final punch line. Add background music to the video and upload it.



5. Screen capture your Desktop activities
Install good screen capture software, first. Start the screen capture software to record any screen activities you do on your PC. Paint a drawing or doodle in Photoshop. Or just simply browse as you normally do. Or just type something â a letter, or a blog post. Stop the screen capture recording, edit the movie (use fast-forward technique) and add some peppy music as the background score. Thatâs it you have made a very cool movie for Youtube.


6. Make an Advert
Shoot an advert or a television commercial for McDonald's, KFC or for the poor Microsoft. Write your own script, draw a storyboard â use existing videos and your own voice and music. When you are making and advert on a well-known global brand, you are bound to get lot of viewers (and criticisms). Who knows, the MN Cs would make a way to your door to sign you up (ok, I was kidding!).


7. Dub for someone
Get some videos where political leaders make a speech or famous celebrity giving an interview to someone. Now, strip off the celebrity speakerâs voice (use volume mute in your video editing software) and add your own voice and a funny one-line. Mix different questions and use some funny one-liners from stripped from old James Bond movies.
