Panasonic HDC SD80 Camcorder Review [HD] Pt 2 of 3 - Zoom Footage Review

[@redrocktrail]

@The1Unicycler well ... kind of. You can control it by the pressure of how hard you press the zoom toggle on the camera so it is weighted so to speak with some momentum. It is pretty 'unsensitive' so you can really gauge it well. I have enjoyed it.

@bumblesby glad you felt the footage was helpful in seeing the quality of the film. Here's what i did to get it on to youtube. I converted the .m2ts files with aunsoft to .mov files at h.264 video codec and aac 128 audio, and at 6000bitrate, and when I imported it at 1280x720. I then imported the clips into iMovie '09 and exported as and HD video. The final video export codecs were same, h.264 video, 128audio, and 10,000bitrate. I hope this helps. See my other parts of the SD80 camcorder review.

@SureShotGaming74 download windows media player video codecs, that way you can play almost any video file. And it doesn't lag.

[@redrocktrail]

@billybiskitboy no I don't know that a mic connects to it, I looked at users manual and it doesn't do such

[@redrocktrail]

@SureShotGaming74 if it is not playing smoothly it is likely because the video is so dense that your video card on the PC you are using is too slow or you don't have enough RAM or large enough processor. The .mts files from this camera are at 1080p and at 60frames, pretty dense video, you can convert the .mts files with Aunsoft .mts converter software for yoru PC then try and open them, but even then you are limited if you cannot play smoothly the video files. Consider a computer upgrade too

[@gromovanataliaable]

Such a beautiful place. Where is it? I want to go there.

[@redrocktrail]

@StreetFilmsSlovenija i use iMovie '09, i first convert the .mts files with aunsoft software, 6000 bitrate, .mov, h.264 for the video codec, 128kbps audio ... 30fps

[@Jamosoma]

This video is only in 720p. It can go to 1080 correct?

[@adam2eve]

Awesome vids!

[@billybiskitboy]

Can you attach video mic's to it, like 'Rode' videomics?

[@Jamosoma]

So in this footage you chose to film in 720 right?

[@AntonHolm-kf6ic]

Hey, do you know "photo SFX art" (google it)? On their website you can watch a useful free video demonstrating the right way to take outstanding photographs. It made it possible for Daniel to take photographs which have a wow-effect after you look at them. It may help you out also...

[@Jamosoma]

Hm...
