Vado - iMovie 01
Hi, I’m an editor of messa.tv. Today I’ll explain how to edit videos taken by our favorite cam Vado HD.
That is because iMovie 7.1.4 doesn’t support container format of Vado HD. To make a long story short, can’t use AVI format. Need to convert to some formats or through iMovie away if you don’t want to lose video quality.
OK, let’s start it.
First of all, you need to get the MPEG Streamclip (Free App). Install the MPEG Streamclip and launch it then select your video file.
Vado - iMovie 02
Choose [File] > [Export to MPEG-4]
Vado - iMovie 03
Videos which taken by Vado HD have these kind of file informations. (By VLC media player.)
Vado - iMovie 04
Now we need to be careful to pick the better format to keep video quality.
- [Quality] to [100 %]
- [Sound] > [Channel] to [Mono]
- [Sound] > [Bit Rate] to [128 kbps]
Vado - iMovie 05
Then click [Make MP4] to create a video file.
Vado - iMovie 06
File informations may broken when you check it by VLC media player but don’t care about it, keep on.
It’s time to launch iMovie.
Vado - iMovie 07
[File] >［Import Movies］
Vado - iMovie 08
Fill out your favorite settings. Videos are saved on here:
/Users/{USERNAME}/Movies/iMovie Events/{EVENTNAME}
Vado - iMovie 09
Done! Enjoy!
