The video world has gone digital; there’s no question about that. Most home electronics sale
flyers aimed at the consumer feature tons of digital video (DV) camcorders, with only a few
older-style analog camcorders advertised. The reason is clear: with a slight increase in price,Canon Elura
DV camcorder affords a number of advantages, the most significant of which is how easy your
digital video will be to edit with a computer.
With all of the features a digital video camcorder can give you, though, the camera itself can’t
help much with videography and technique. This will not only help you to learn how to use your canon elura camcorder (which can
be accomplished by reading your camcorder’s manual) but how to capture good video of the
events, moments, and scenes that you’re recording. In particular, we show you how to get video
that can be used to edit your project into an entertaining, informative, or useful final production
that you’ll be proud to display or distribute.
Editing is the key to most projects. With Elura camcorder, you’ll be able to record all
sorts of events and load them into your computer. Then, using non-linear editing (NLE) software—
ranging from free options such as Apple’s iMovie to expensive “prosumer” editions like Final
Cut and Adobe Premiere—you’ll be able to edit that raw footage into a video presentation that
communicates the information, ideas, or entertainment that you want to convey.
You’ll find that “Get Creative! The Digital Video Idea Book” is essentially a guide to
professional tips and techniques for capturing quality images and sound into your camcorder and
then editing those images in an effective way
Using your Canon Elura camcorder to make a digital feature film—either a short
feature or a long, independent movie. It is possible with a decent consumer
or “prosumer” camcorder, a good script, some actors, and dedication.
Analog vs. Digital
For starters, you may be wondering what’s the difference between analog
and digital camcorders. An analog camcorder records a video signal to
tape—usually a VHS-C (for compact) or Hi8 tape, although a number of
similar standards (such as SVHS and Beta) are also available. That signal
can then be played back by the camera or by a compatible playback device
such as a VCR. The signal can also be played to special computer equipment,
which can digitize the signal by analyzing the signal information and turning
it into the 1s and 0s that a computer can understand and manipulate. In
essence, the process is similar to the scanning of a photograph or the
recording of a song to an audio CD—the recorded material is turned into
a computer file so that it can be manipulated using your PC or Macintosh.
How DV Camcorders Work
What’s unique about canon elura camcorder is that the camera itself has enough
electronics inside to make the jump from live image to computer file
without the in-between step of digitizing. While most digital camcorders
still record to a type of tape (although not all digital camcorders do so),
they’re recording digital information—basically, a computer file. This has a
particular advantage in that it doesn’t degrade when copied. The quality of
the original image, as captured by the camcorder’s lens and then translated
into a computer file, remains within the file until that file is altered, and
simply copying the file won’t alter its quality.
Why is this? Any camcorder uses technology similar to a computer
scanner, employing something called a charged coupled device (CCD).
This device registers various light levels and records them. With an analog
camcorder, a continuous, modulated video signal is recorded on magnetic
tape; by contrast, canon elura camcorder records a computer file filled with 1s
and 0s that represent the video signal—in the same way that a computer
would store and read a word processing document, for example. That digital data—which is really a computer file that’s in the standardized DV
Stream format—is then stored to one of a few different tape formats from
which it can be transferred easily to a computer or copied between
camcorders without any loss in quality.
With canon elura camcorder, that tape format is most likely the
popular MiniDV (Mini Digital Video) format, but you’ll also find that
Digital8 is common (it’s a Sony-specific technology), MicroMV is gaining
steam (another Sony-only technology), and the recordable digital video
disc (DVD) camcorder is emerging on the consumer scene as a viable
alternative to tape. Currently, however, Canon Elura rules the consumer and
“prosumer” (high-end hobbyist) market.
