HD Videos In WMM

[Manny]

Has anyone got decent results of editing and playing HD videos in Window movie maker ?
Im getting choppy results, But only after I convert it. I dont know if its the conversion. But even in Windows Movie player its choppy.

If not what editing software do you use ? or reccomend for HD video editing ?

Thanks, Manny

What's your input format???

Try Cyberling PowerDirector. It's pretty descent and easy to use.

What version of Windows do you use? XP can't crunch HD, no matter what PC you have it installed on. I have no problems with it on 7, except for the file size of the finished product, that is....

Hmmm... Apples are supposed to pwn at video and graphics, just ask Ragnarok

well got it working nice and smooth, thru ( i movie 11 ) at work.
The choppy moves on my computer are due to it not processing the HD video fast enough.

Pro's- Works very good on an new Mac at work that supports MOV file with no converting.

Con's- Have to do all my editing at work
Its going to make me buy a Mac which are twice as expensive as a PC
Going to have to buy more battery and memory card if filming on weekend. Then bring to work on Monday and edit

i use wmm in all my videos.

your video memory,processor and graphics card has alot to do with your video performance.

if you dont have a nice Hd graphics card it wont do Hd very well.

if you dont have at least a dual core or tri core processor it will lag on playback during editing.

my specs on my computer are..

i3 2nd gen processor
4gb memory
500gb harddrive
Hd graphics card
win 7 w updates

the more memory you have the better for processing video's.
