![]() If you can make iMovie work with AVCHD 2.0, you can skip the Second part. Third, spend a few evenings taking the complete Premier Elements 12 course by Steve Grisetti at ($25 buys four weeks).įourth, read the short book "How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck" by Steve Stockman Second, buy Premier Elements version 12 because it is cheap, runs on almost anything and works well enough. The only thing you'll need to do is apply creativity.įirst, buy a good camera like you have done. If you do, you will be making great videos in a few short weeks. Now, if ever asked, I suggest you do it in four steps. If you asked how I figured out how to do video, I would have to say I tried a lot of things randomly, got confused and wasted a lot of time. The latest versions of iMovie may be fine with AVCHD 2.0 "PS". It is highly regarded by most, but not necessarily all. I know that Premier Elements, in it's current version of 12 runs on both PCs and Apples and costs under $100. I can't tell with Google reading alone if iMovie does well with Sony's and Panasonic's AVCHD or not. AFAIK the setting that captures the most data and makes the most complete files is "PS", which is part of AVCHD 2.0.ĪVCHD is a realative to Blu-Ray and developed by Sony and Panasonic. I only know a little about a camera that is similar to you 920 and nothing about iMovie, except what I read.įirst, I think both Panasonic and Sony cameras are made to work best with AVCHD settings.

Set the format with the highest bit rate in the camera, see if iMovie can handle it, see if iMovie will render an output to Vimeo's suggestions and then view the Vimeo result on several devices. My suggestion would be to do some simple test clips. Others use Vimeo as a way to share the original file by downloading. For that, Vimeo has some specific format recommendations. ![]() Many intend their video to be viewed only on Vimeo. For Apple users common upgraded editors include Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premier Elements and Adobe Premier CC. So, It will be hard to find anyone that can give you specific advice on the 920/iMovie combination. I know nothing about iMovie except that few on this forum use either iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. As I understand it, Apple has gotten better and the latest Panasonics include a specific Apple format choice. ![]() However, that is an "AVCHD" format that has not always worked well in Apple products. The common suggestion is to shoot in the highest format the camera offers.
