TIPS

What can I use to edit my video?

Many video-editing programs exist.

Professional video editors often rely on Apple’s

FinalCut Pro and Adobe’s Premiere Pro. Adobe

also sells Premiere Elements, a simpler version

of Premiere Pro for hobbyist and home users.

Many open-source, free editors also exist.

What format does my video need to be in before I

encode?

The Media Encoder supports almost all common,

popular video formats. If you are taking video directly

from your camera, it will likely be MPG, MOV, AVCHD,

or AVI, all of which are supported. Final Cut’s and

Premiere’s native formats are not, but both can export

to formats such as AVI and MOV that are.
