video editing

Video technology guideline

Which video camera should I buy?

While tape based cameras are fully disappearing it is all about flash based cameras (mainly with memory cards). They are easy to operate and quite compatible with most editing software now. High definition is clearly becoming the standard format but this is not needed for educational projects. An external microphone input is very important for good sound.

What video editing software is appropriate?

Moviemaker (free with Windows) or iMovie (free with mac) can be a first introduction to editing. Pinnacle Studio or Premiere Elements offer more possibilities for editing and exporting. These are more than enough for video work in school.
