Video

Digital video Editing is the manipulation of video images. PAL, NTSC and SECAM are the different TV systems used. Their main differences are NTSC is used mainly in America and Canada. PAL is used in Western Europe, Australia. SECAM is used in Eastern Europe and France. The differences are that they are all incompatible one with another.

The most common video format is avi. I use mpg because it is the video format which is compatible with the ipod and because it is the only one I have tried because I know my computer will be able to open it. When you want to convert from one format to another you need a converter, such as iWisoft Free Video Converter. I think the best quality video is avi but I am not sure because I did not find it in Internet. The fastest data transfer connection is USB, 480mbits per second (USB 2.0) .Movie Maker has a storyboard so you can insert the images. It allows video, picture and sound. You can insert effects. It even shows the video in real life time.

A script is the outline of the video, in this case, that tells you what is going to happen and the storyboard is the pictures or drawings of the script. Fps stands for frames per second. Footage means unedited/ basic film in Spanish is metraje. The advantage o video streaming over video downloading is that video streaming does not occupy space in the computer while video downloading does.
