It's also possible that the Easy-Link 2.0 outputs MPEG-2 and Potplayer is capturing that from the device and converting to the specified MP4 format when saving to a file. Either way, you should be OK.

when I went to Amazon to look at the product, in the customer question and answer section, the manufacturer of that USB converter explicitly stated that that device captures the VHS signal only to MPEG-2 (not to AVI, MP4 or anything else) That doesn't sound right. Per Steve's video, the device is u...

I have the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan subscription and normally use the current version of Photoshop CC. However, I left some older versions installed for compatibility with some older plugins. I just now loaded Photoshop CS5 (Extended Edition) and tried out many of the essential function...

Audio becoming more and more out of sync with the video as length increases is a well known problem when using variable frame rate (VFR) instead of fixed frame rate. If you watch the video Steve posted again, you'll see that he talks about how important it is to select a fixed frame rate and not def...

FYI: VfW stands for Video for Windows and is the multimedia framework that, as the name says, allowed use of video in the Windows operating system. It had the same purpose as QuickTime on a Mac. VfW is now obsolete having been replaced by first DirectShow and now DirectX. In the context of WinDV, co...

Obsolescence happens. My guess is that tape-based capture was dropped because it's no longer a significant feature for the majority of Adobe's Premiere Elements customer base. Think about it. When's the last time you saw someone (other than yourself) shooting video with something other than their ph...

Has something changed? Yes, the industry has moved on from Standard Definition video to High Definition video. This drove the development of considerably better mpeg compression algorithms. Today, mpeg is the dominant recording format and video editors support it very well. That wasn't the case in ...

Resolution is definitely an issue. 4K sounds like a lot until you realize that covers 360 degrees. You can only see about 90 degrees directly in front of where you are looking so you only see about one 1K of that -- about the same as SD. To get full HD equivalency, you really need about 8K. As for 5...

Thought I would give a progress report about my Insta360 One X adventure. I think it's best to create a new topic thread rather than tag onto Steve's request for 360 video footage. I don't think it needs to be exclusively about me and my camera. I don't mind at all if anyone want's to talk about 360...

Good one, Dave

That would be The Guess Who, Chuck.

For those that don't know, Photostory is Magix' slide show creation application. Both photos and videos are supported. Photostory comes in several versions including the VR one. I haven't tried it, but Magix sends me email offers for their products from time to time and I looked at the product info ...

Once you crop a clip, you remove the pixels outside the crop. The black space you see around the image is how transparency is indicated in Premiere Elements. It's black because there is nothing to show. If you were to place another clip on a video track below the one that's cropped, the other image ...

I've already dipped my toes and want to tread deeper into the stream. I've mainly worked with equirectangular images and 360 spherical projections. The ability to make an actual 360 interactive video is intriguing. Also, I do have a VR headset. I'm especially interested in exploring the possibilitie...

I'm now the proud owner of an Insta360 One X camera. I literally just got home from picking it up.
