Best video camera for concerts?

Q. I'm going to a Weird Al concert in a few months, and I would like to know what camera would be best. I already have a Flip Ultra (not HD) and I also have a video camera on my iPod Touch. These, of course, aren't the best so I would like something a little better. For prices, at the most $250. Also another question - do they check for cameras and stuff at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA?
I'm also looking for a camera that also has good sound quality

Answer
Yes most places will check for cameras especially camcorders, you will find that cell phone cameras they are not to worried about because of the quality. Unless you have permission and you do record they are able to take your camera from you or at least demand that you delete the video you have taken. its called copyright infringement.

If you take a camcorder with you you have to realise that it can be taken off you and or you are fined.


very few cameas have good audio for concerts, unless you can reduce the gain of the mic, the sound will be far to loud and distort. The video may not be that good as the constant light changes will make it hard for the cheaper cameras to cope with.

best digital camera, good picture taking, video recording, concert recording, quality?

Tarriena

I broke my camera and i need to get a new one my last one was a Canon Powershot 2.0 I think...and now I want a digital camera that records concerts with crisp sound, good unblurry pictures, and good video recording quality. Is there one out there?... It doesn't have to be SUPER expensive. Maybe like the $200 range?
i meant sony cybershot 2.0

Answer
The video quality for the digital cameras are almost the same. They have the best quality in 60fps or 30fps. It just standard for every digital camera. I know one is good for quality of the picture and good price.
It is Canon SD790IS.
Canon SD790IS has 3" LCD screen, 10 mega pixels, 3x optical zoom and good body too.
I hope this help and good luck to you.

How to make recorded videos with different camera angles together for free?

Neil G

Like I recorded a dance and one of my camera was on the right side and the other was on the left how do i combine both recorded videos?

Answer
The one free multitrack video editor I'm familiar with is this one:
Lightworks http://www.lightworksbeta.com/

Haven't tried it myself, but it's worth a shot. Make sure you keep backup copies of your videos.

In the video editor, you put each video clip in its own track. You should be able to find some way to verify that the tracks are synchronized (e.g. lowering opacity on upper track, using split screen) by looking for things like camera flashes, impacts, or other things you would only see for one video frame (1/30â1/60th of a second, depending on format). You can then use transitions or set keyframes for opacity to dissolve between the two viewpoints.

If you recorded the audio separately, you'll need to synchronize the audio as well. If the audio on one of the video clips is of sufficient quality, you can use that instead.

Answer
Recording the event is not a problem, BUT you have to sync the two cameras, or its going to be a nightmare, personally I would start the cameras at the same time and leave them running, at the start make a loud noise like they do with the old clapper boards. this will give you a spike in the audio on both cameras then you know where to sync them.

maybe have one camera static and the other moving about, two static cameras are as boring as one really. Once you have finished your filming put the video onto your computer and open your editing software, windows movie maker is not up to it. so get something that has multiple time lines, add them both and sync them, using that peak in the audio.

simply it goes what ever you take out of one time line it must add up exactly to the part used in the other, if not you will be out of sync again. say you use 8.34 seconds you need to cut 8.34 seconds out of the other track.

Now you need audio, taking the audio from one camera then using the other camera will not work the audio played back will at least be disgusting. so using another audio source (the master) providing its central to the video. when played back it will sound right, if you use this method then you have to add the clap to this when you sync the videos.


Software, well its not going to take you that long to edit the video (depending its not to long) so get a trial version of adobe premere CS4 /5 and use that, you will be able to do basically what you want. or if you are brave http://www.lightworksbeta.com/ it has a really steep learning curve, but it will do everything you will ever want it to, and its free. but not easy to use.
