Great work. Thumbnails can be more intent.

It's more a question of what you think! How does it look to you?

Hi, You can go with Filmora software

Hey Tim! I realize that Inches are not relevant to JPG Images; Pixel Size and PPI are. But, in my dated copy of Power Point, I have to work with Inches. After some research, I settled on a Slide Page Size of 20" by 11-1/4." At 96 PPI (which is the Power Point default), the resulting JPG Image is 1920 px by 1080 px w/ an Aspect Ratio of 16:9. What do you think? Doctor T

No idea as I've no idea what would be "better" in terms of helping with mental health. I found some of the music in the few bits I looked at rather annoying so that wouldn't help me sleep :)

Size in inches is only relevant for printed material. On a computer screen it's all about ppi and 96 is about right. You now have to decide on the largest screen resolution you are likely to have it displayed on (eg 4K, 1920x1080) and design it for that. Having said that 1920x1080 wont look dreadful on a 4K screen.

What you're looking for is something with AI enhancing (like the Topaz Labs product Video Enhance, which you may be referring to above). Basic video editors cannot introduce detail that isn't there. Until very recently doing what you're trying to do would be impossible. Now with AI, some software tries to does exactly that. How successful it is depends very much on the footage you start with, the AI driven processing involved and your own interpretation of "successful". Remembre, these will...

Hi, Nice videos. Try to change the thumbnails and enhance the descriptions if possible. Thumbnails play a major role in attracting viewers.

Hi, Try with Shotcut and Filmora software.

Can't help I'm afraid. I use Resolve Studio and hence their Optical Flow, but I can't seem to get FCP to run on my WIndows PC ;)

I'd just go for cropping. It's possible to do it more sophisticated with e.g. content aware fill in After Effects but the time it takes wouldn't weigh up to the results.

Great to have a vintage gear update. Thanks for posting!

Ancient news I know but may help the retro freak like me. I just bought one (April 2022) and have tested it out. My only complaint is it doesn't have a USB or Firewire port, so you'll have to process tapes to PC via another MiniDV camcorder (I use my Panasonic NV-GS400, and Windows Movie Maker, still working under Windows 10 and 11). Pros: massive viewfinder, no need for LCD screen; total manual control; every button and feature conceivable; lightweight; metal body. Cons: no USB/Firewire...

Thanks Tim, I'll try your suggestions. Mike

Mike I strongly recommend doing a quick test recording with both audio and visual indications. Neither tell the whole story on their own. I know whenever I try to short cut this I regret it. Record a bit and play back though headphones as well as watching the level indicators. A couple more minutes at the beginning of the session may just save you from having to re-record the whole lot. Also, if possible, (and I can see the R6 has a headphone jack) monitor the audio with headphones while...

Thanks for the advice Tim. The in camera recording levels allows to keep an eye to the audio levels. Mike

An excellent choice. Experiment with different mic placements and make sure you check the recording levels before going for a take. Err on the side of caution - recording too quitely can result in increased background noise, but at least this can be addressed. Recording too loud results in clipping which (like overblown highlights in video) cannot be fixed in post.

Thanks Jediboy. We kept the video as simple and straightforward as we can. It works well with the accompanying book. Mike

As someone who has recently started piano lesson and watched loads and loads of Youtube videos, I found this to be helpful. Tim has already commented on the technical aspects of the video much better than I could, but as a simple tutorial I could get on with this.

nice to meet you sir..

Thanks for your feedback Tim. I have since bought a Rode videomic to plug-in. I can move the mic closer on the extension cable. We are a zero budget team! I have neither the skills or the time to do a video representation of the note or beat. We don’t want the student to look at the screen whilst playing. They must read the notes from the book. It’s the only way they will progress with note reading. I do appreciate that everyone’s learning style is different and some students may benefit...

Only in the context of what you've written above (as a turorial itself it woudn't work at all) I wouldn't sweat the videoi quality too much. The sound is pretty poor though. Forget tidying up the in camera mic. Get a mic close to the piano. Even something like a Zoom H1 will improvie on this. Syncing is really not difficult. Make a sharp nose (clap) which will create a spike in the wafeform of both the video's audio track and that of the avudio only recording - easy to line up. Having said...

We're literally responding to an almost one year old thread people :) Let's stay contemporary?

Thanks Grapes. I posted a video in the User Videos section for some feedback.

Camtasia is something I often use since it is simple to use.

Welcome to the forum Mike. It's generally a quiet place and the most activity it seems to get lately is either spam or people using it to promote their youtube channels and latest video productions but if there's ever a question the handful of regulars here will try to help to our best ability.

Hi All I’m Mike from the West Midlands, England. I’ve just completed my first video project on beginner piano lessons for kids. I’d like to up my game, hence I’m here. I shoot with a Canon R6 and edit with Corel Videostudio 2019 and VSDC. I have a strong background in photography and Lightroom and Photoshop. Mike.

Try VSDC it’s free, versatile and loads of tutorials on YouTube.

Nice work. What editor did you use to edit the video? Mike

adobe animate does this by utilising your webcam.

im editing with camtasia tho

This is a great app. If you want a new experience, use the apk mod provided by ModCombo.

Track the head position, apply the tracking keyframes to the png

Zoom can do the background thing. I would put several things, like good lighting and good sound, ahead of color balance. You could adjust that in post since you're recording it.

I think you can probably use Zoom to do this. Another option is OBS studio. You'll have to search some tutorials but there should be plenty out there.

If you want to playback on 1080 but you also want the ability to crop the frame you should probably chose either 4K (16:9) – 60FPS or 4K HDR 30FPS.
