From HD to LD
I have a Vado HD camera which films in HD and it is great. When I plug in the camera to the TV, or when I download the videos to my Mac, they look great.
Now, these are all .AVI videos. In most cases, I need to put together a few of these videos and add some titles, etc. edit, add music, so I can share with friends and family. iMovie is great for this but...
iMovie 09 can't import .AVI videos. So there is the option to use a program like MPEG streamclip to convert each AVI into and mp4 for instance, but this is very time consuming.
So I found out that iMovie HD does allow for import of AVI files, so this is what I did. I then add the editing I want and export in the Highest Quality possible to a .mov. Then, I import this .mov into iMovie 09, and from here I can share easily with my Mobile Me gallery for instance, something I can't do with iMovie HD.
My problem is that the quality of the movie is awful! It looks as if it was filmed on a cheap camera, very very low quality.
What can I do?
Thanks
