We all like to sit back and watch an interesting video when we have the time but I don't see too many being posted here?
I'm sure you all take a few snaps from time to time and there are some great video and photo editoring apps available these times. I almost always use Movavi Video Edtor but it costs a bit. There's a free one now by Microsoft called Chipchamp that I tried a few weeks back. If you don't like to hear your voice on a video then you can just type it out and Chipchamp will convert your text to voice. I'm sure there are many more free apps, Google must have something. One of the reasons I use Movavi is because I can insert videos and still photos, add music, sounds and voice, text, alter speed, rotate images and lots more.
The thing that prompted me to write this is that I just found a new app. Mrs M had to put a movie together that was limited in overal size while having an enormous amount of content. When we put the draft together it came in at 881mb for a 1min 30sec video. She was only allowed a maximum of 120mb, a seventh of the original size. The answer was an app called Handbrake. It can be a little complicated to get the results you need but our first attempt at reducing the video it came down from 881mb to 19mb and the quality was still fair. We tampered with it for a while (about two hours) and ended up with a good quality video of 80.9mb, a tenth of its original size and you couldn't tell the difference on the laptop screen.
We are limited to 50mb to upload here but with this new compression software you could easily post a two minute video without uploading it to youtube.
Hopefully some of you will give it a go and show us what you've been up to lately

. 4k is only really useful if you need to zoom right in on something (or give the viewer that option)
