Thanks for having me here; I hope that I can ask questions that contribute to the site.

I've noticed some posting questions here, it this correct or should I pick a specific topic for that?

Thanks again, this is such a resourceful site. Thanks to all who contribute.

Welcome Doty to Muvipix! Ask away on the questions, lots of experienced people here. Usually the question is best under a category...like PE 3, tools, PSE, music, etc.

Which editing program do you use?

Well that's just it. I have wanted a camcorder for short trips, family events and just plain fun things that happen around home and work. NLE sounds fun and putting together a short clip to tell a story as Steve Grisetti mentions is exactly what I'd like to do a few times a year. NLE is interesting and the process would be a great learning environment, but sometimes I might just want to send a short few minuet clip (email, upload to a website, etc.) for my dad to view of the new baby (5 weeks) not wanting to do any NLE.

As of now I do not have a editing program I use. This will sound pretty lame, but, I have been looking into editing programs and a camcorder for a while now (two years or so) and I really like PE. Adobe PE mainly because of places like this, the huge support the Adobe committee offers, and the interface the program has (I have tried it at work). So, great PE4 it is!

Now a camcorder. I am interested in a small compact camcorder that uses flash memory, works well with PE and has great quality. Well, I am sure you would agree allot has happened in two years in terms of video quality and format for the consumer market. These two topics concern me the most. Quality is pretty much a big deal to me. HD sounds great, but how will the end user view the file? This is huge.

Converting the AVCHD when I want to edit is not a huge issue for me considering there are lots of great recommendations from experienced videographers on this site.

I'd like feedback on:
1- Would I benefit from an HD camcorder if I was to upload clips to the internet (youtube, or something similar) or sending individual files over email?
2- How do I send HD over the internet or email? NERO 7 or alike? I understand that the file (more specifically AVCHD) would have to be converted in some way before its sent.
3- Are there other issues that I am not considering?

I am looking for help and feedback.

Should I restart this topic in the Camcorder section? I have been using the search tool to help with some of my questions but I never really searched in the introduction section before.

It wouldn't hurt to copy your post and put it into a new post in the Camcorder forum or the Premiere Elements 4 forum, either one is fine. But you are correct, some people don't check this forum at all.

Done! I will repost in the camcorder section.

Thanks again for the warm welcome!
