Mark or Pug – Why would I need an editor / converter ?
Is there an advantage to resize a video?
What would I edit?
I know the videos aren’t real great quality but would something like that make them better?
It’s not that you need one so much as you might be able to make good use of one.
If you took video in HD 2048 X 1536 reducing to a lower HD 960 X 720, and reducing the audio quality will result in much smaller size, and still be a good viewing quality. Higher resolutions are needed more for full screen display and reduced sound quality seldom is a factor if the video is the primary attraction.
An Editor will likely improve a video by allowing you to zoom in on areas you want to be highlighted, and cutting out any redundant parts that may lose viewers interest (and more). If you cut out an unneeded 33% you reduce the size by same and reduce the necessary viewing time. Most editors today will offer an output in line with the display device, reducing it to the desired size and cutting uploading time.
If your video is exactly the way you want it to be, then nothing is gained except upload time, which would not compensate for editing time. After uploading YouTube, and Facebook reduce the video anyway.
Note many video editor today come with a host of useful software tools AVS4YOU does.
If it’s rare you upload, or take videos you likely have no need for any editing software.
I have a web site dedicated to family videos so I use an editors a lot. Comes in handy to take out things that are better left out too. I use a converter to make use of flash format which can bring down a 25 minute video do 100 meg and is compatible with most PC’s when in an SWF format. It’s also not blocked easily.
