Evening all!
It's been a while since I shot and edited video and I have an old version of FCE (1.1) which doesn't support HD.
I am shooting 12 minute long clips which will need no editing other than to be looped and possibly colour corrected. I might also want to remove sensor dust - but my scenes are entirely static so that should be OK as long as there's a software way of doing it.
My eventual viewing media will be HD screens and TVs.
My questions are:
With no mini HDMI cable as yet, is there an easy way to see my shot files on an HD TV in full HD between now and when I buy FCP or FCE? Clearly making a DVD is no good because it's not Blu Ray and therefore not HD.
Would my needs be met by upgrading to the current version of FCE or do I really need FCP? Might I even get away with iMovie (I'm a Mac boy) since my needs are not for editing at all, just for correction and if possible dust removal?
Talking of which, is there a way of editing the sensor dust spots off movies I have already made and can't re-shoot? The one I am thinking of in particular has one dust speck in the sky and the camera doesn't move the whole way through the twelve minute shot.
My files shown on a 30" cinema display via QTpro on an eight core mac pro with 8 gig ram don't really look 'HD' to me, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for anyone who has the time, knowledge and patience to help!
Apologies to anyone who has seen a similar post by me elsewhere: information seems sparse!
