Can you edit the video on your computer??

Yes, you can edit your video on your computer. PlayTouch record video in H.264 format wich can be edited natively in Premier Pro. To edit this format in any other editing software, like Movie Maker or iMovie, you have to convert this format to another more friendly like proress. To transcode the video you can use MPEG Streamclip which you can download for free.

can you use the camera and editing software on a google chrome laptop that doesn't have an internal hard drive?

Yes, but the image will be upside down when you view it on the computer. Not a huge deal though if you really need the video. I'm sure it can be flipped somehow with today's software.

Yes it does. They are of excellent quality. You need to have software that accepts .mov files to edit.

If you just drag the video file from the camera folder your desktop, it saves as Type of File: AVCHD Video (.MTS). If you double click on the file it automatically opens in Windows Media Player. I usually edit my videos anyway through Sony Vegas, so I have the option of rendering them in what ever format I want to use once they are edited

There is a program used for uploading videos and pictures onto your computer that you can install but it doesn't have many editing features. . . . There are some basics on the camera itself like capturing a picture from video and splitting it but these are the only editing features I am aware of. . . Hope it helps! :D

Yes, it is certainly possible. All you need is a video editor that works with the AVCHD format that your camcorder outputs. Here's a couple examples: Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack or Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9, but they only run under Windows. If you read through the comments made by purchasers of those (or other) editors, you'll learn that AVCHD can be challenging to edit, because the files are so big and the compression is so advanced. In other words, it really helps to have a reasonably powerful computer or else things will be slow.

Yes you can. Because of the small amount of ram it may need to reload often. Some of my video seemed to run in slow motion.

Mike, Originally I was not able to use premiere, but once I installed the MJPEG codec I can edit just like a normal avi. There is a trial codec and one to purchase (pegasus?)

i use iMovie for edits. Not overly fond of the newer version of iMovie, but it makes the basic edits I need. Video everything onto SD card and then plug the SD card directly into my iMac. Upload from there and then edit away. Also use Premier, but not much. Like I said, my edits are usually really basic.

Yes, you can. I use my Mac for all of y video editing and it works just fine with my Final Cut X. Although it took a little while to figure out how to extract the videos lol. But it ended up being pretty obvious and easy.

Yes you can - we take the card out of the camera and import the video using a card reader.

This item comes with a basic conversion software, but doesn't really do editing. It will convert VHS into a data file like MPEG. I haven't found a way to edit the video other than just convert it, such as adding text over the video. If you want to see the quality of VHS to digital, check out my YouTube page. http://www.youtube.com/canaanmanley

As far as I know, no you cannot. It puts everything into a video opposed to individual images. But the way we found around that is to use video editing software (there is a range of options from free to high quality professional software) and clip out pieces we do not want. Hope that helps!

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

I would think you can, since I've down loaded some programs--I planned to try, but my video just went bad-----That's what one get for buying used---I'm not as familiar with Mac as with Windows or Linux, Good Luck

No, you can, however record sound from a distance & lay it over the video in editing

You can, and with anything you can't the work around is to burn that to a cd, and then import it into Itunes. I have successfully even converted a video from youtube into an mp4 format, and then import that into Itunes.
