We get asked all the time, "What computer system should I use for Video Editing?"

Event Videography is one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of digital videography. It can also be very profitable - if you do it right!
One of the most important aspects of event videography that makes it so challenging is that you only get ONE chance to shoot it. Just like the old days of live TV, you have to get it right the first time.

In the field there isn't always a place to unload your data when a tape or SD card fills up. For this, Datavideo created the DN-400 DV/HDV Recorder. ( Read More)

After many weeks of struggling, I hope that I have finally
produced a good guide for basic video editing, intended
to get the beginner started and more comfortable with the
video editing process. While it is mainly based on Vegas,

Inexpensive Consumer Video Editing programs like Pinnacle Studio, Adobe Premiere Elements, Sony Vegas Movie Studio, Apple iMovie, Windows MovieMaker are easy and fun to use.

While these products allow you to edit your video, create slideshows, author DVDs and export them to the we ( Read More)

If you are reading this article, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that you have a big screen HD TV in your house. Now that you have it, you wonder how you ever watched sports or the latest action movie or a documentary or even the cooking channel without it. I know that now when I watch standard definition TV, all I can think about is how much better it would look in HD! Lets face it, everything just looks better in HD.
