-IF YOUR USING WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER-
just click “Save to computer”, name your file, then click “other settings” and select “Video for Broadband (512 kbps)”.

-WHERE TO DOWNLOAD FREE FULL PROGRAMS-
No good software comes for free. Even if you download it without paying for it, you have a very good chance of catching bugs, viruses, or spyware. You can find cheap editing programs at your local Bestbuy though for around $30 – $99. Check out Pinnacle Studios.

-MAC vs WINDOWS-
Mac is a great OS, but more programs are available for the PC and honestly, I have’t had any problems with anything in the last 6 years. Just keep your computer clean and use it with care.

-BRIGHTNESS & CONTRAST ADJUSTMENTS-
The brightness and contrast doesn’t apply to everyone, just the majority of the web cam users on here. Sharpening your videos shouldn’t add to the file size neither, but if it does in your case… I would say do it anyway. Sharper videos means more viewers.

-WHY YOU SHOULDN’T USE 640×480-
640×480 is a good looking file when it’s on your computer, but when you upload it to YouTube, it gets distorted in the resizing process. That’s the main problem… YouTube’s video resizing program sucks.

-WHY MY VIDEOS ARE SHARPER THAN NORMAL-
Well, part of the reason my videos are so sharp is becuase of my camera, but the majority of it is because of this method of rendering.

-HOW TO SPEED UP YOUR COMPUTERS RENDERING-
Any time you load a program into your computer (or laptop), you should always have enough space to work with. Video editing is a very demanding, so if your planning on rendering a lot of videos in the future, then look into buying some more RAM for your computer. Go to your local computer store and ask for help with RAM.
