Just about a decade ago, recording family video meant hauling out a bulky camcorder and recording onto those miniature VHS tapes. Now, spontaneous videos could be recorded with a touch of a button thanks to pocket-sized camcorders. It is easy to edit and reproduce videos with online software.
Digital camcorders do not need a tape or film, as they record onto a memory card, just like a digital camera. Most regular digital cameras do not have high quality recording or the ability to hold hours of footage. This is why it is so important to invest in a good digital camcorder to really capture those priceless moments.
Once the videos have been recorded, the memory card is removed from the camcorder and into a computer. The files could be merged, split, and edited with special effects. Trim footage that is not needed and adjust the volume on parts ht are either too loud or soft. It is also possible to add sound effects and music to enhance the experience.
When the videos are fully edited, the movie can be burned onto a Blu-Ray or DVD disc. Most movies only take a few minutes to transfer. The discs work in most DVD or Blu-Ray players for watching on a television screen. Many discs can be burned and sent to relatives. It is also possible to watch videos on a memory card when a camcorder is hooked up to a television with an AV cable.
Sharing videos on the internet can be unsafe, so set them to private when shared on websites if you are concerned. Be careful when sharing on social networking websites. In most cases, it is safest to just email videos to relatives.
Recording and remastering family video helps make memories last forever. Modern camcorders make it easy to record anywhere, at any time. Editing and transferring to discs makes it now possible for everyone to enjoy the moment over and over again.
