Hi! I make beauty videos here on youtube and it’s really important that my videos are clear. I bought this camcorder thinking that it would be really good but all my videos are blurry! I don’t get what I’m doing wrong.. I edit in iMovie and then I export in HD. How can I make it more clear??

Thats what i did at first and it looked even worse. so at school i used a usb and it was full hd. so i used usb at my house and its a better pc than the schools? should i just re install the transfer utility software?

use the transfer utility software that came with the camera. once the files are mved to your computer, just drag them into Vegas

Actually, you can adjust the focus while recording. Before you start recording, go to the focus menu. Once there, click the Manual Focus (MF) button on the screen. Now press on the screen on the area you want to be focused. Press record. You can also change what is in focus during recording.

OK, it’s not a big deal.

no the focusing is only auto

That is beautiful! I am thinking of getting the HF R200, as it’s only $184 refurbished from Canon. Just a little question: Can you change the focus while recording? Just wondering.

What kind of format? MOV etc…?

the quality doesnt seem too bad. maybe it’s just the low light

I just plugged it in through the usb cord and uploaded onto iMovie, then exported it to my desktop then uploaded on to youtube and the quality is not very good. you’ll see its my latest upload. thanks for getting back btw

all i did was publish the video through an editor in 1080. How did you import your video to your computer?
Olivia McShane
how do you get the quality this good once uploaded on youtube? i just uploaded a video using this camera and the quality is poor once on youtube, but before i uploaded it is crystal clear on my computer. do i need to compress the file to get better image quality for youtube and what is the best way to do this?
Jangodude411
something like anyvideoconverter. just google video file converter or something like that

WHAT PROGRAM CAN YOU DO THAT WITH?
Jangodude411
all of you who were saying that the quality is bad don’t know that this video has been extremely compressed before the upload. If you want to see its true quality, look at my Will for a Wii. The Berney videos were shot with my phone fyi
Jangodude411
i think so. im not completely sure
Jangodude411
what exactly do you mean?
Jangodude411
it can be a little grainy, but it works pretty well! sorry for the late response
Jangodude411
you just need a video converter

not on the camera. you would have to do it on your computer
Frank Zammetti
try plugging it in, turning the camera on, and choosing the USB input
