Record Your Video Project
To optimize your video for encoding and compression, follow a few simple rules
when you record your video projects:
■
Move in for close-ups; zoom, tilt, or pan slowly, if at all. Rapid movements do
not digitize well.
■
Film your subject as closely as possible, with occasional medium-distance shots
for variety. Avoid long-distance shots, especially with rapidly-moving subjects.
■
When possible, frame your subjects against solid-colored, unchanging
backgrounds. This approach digitizes and compresses well.
■
Keep your film clips as short as possible, within reason. Record continuous
video sequences that can be digitized later and edited into a single, continuous
movie file.
■
Avoid recording at slow tape speeds. Slower tape speeds produce grainier
source video.
■
When using Hi-8, use 60-minute tape. The 120-minute tapes are 25% thinner
and may break.
■
Use a tripod. Unsteady camera movements do not digitize well.
■
Use the dominant light source in a mixed lighting environment to manually
calibrate your camera’s white balance control.
■
Use a microphone positioned close to your speaker or audio source. Avoid
using the video camera microphone unless there are no other sound sources in
the room.
■
Always wear headphones if you are capturing audio with your video. This
allows you to monitor the audio input as it’s being recorded.
