Time flies, so we come to the end of Michael remixing class. Will came in class to teach us how to upload our "masterpiece" unto vimeo and abc pool, in the same time, he talk to us about different type container of videos, to give us deeper understanding of each type of files, there are .mov, .avi, .flv, .mts and many more. We also learn different codec in various types of video clip.
What is Codec?
Codecs are often designed to emphasize certain aspects of the media, or their use, to be encoded. For example, a digital video (using a DV codec) of a sports event needs to encode motion well but not necessarily exact colors, while a video of an art exhibit needs to perform well encoding color and surface texture. ( Wikipedia)
I get to know that different type of editing software deals with different type of file, for example FCP deals with .mov files, Adobe Premiere Pro deals with .mp4, .mts files, if u use the right type of file for the editing software, the best part is you do not need to render to see the video, this increase the speed of editing and saves a lot of time.
I did some research on converter software, I found out that there are so many types of converter software you can find online, but mostly for those free software you can only convert a small amount of file. Will teaches us how to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the file to a smaller size but maintain the quality of the file. It is important to convert a smaller file because it took much time to upload on website and most of the website does not allow very big size of files.
We registered account for Vimeo and ABC pool today, will uploads all our pieces on there next time.
