Outline of episode #12 Your Technology Tutor podcast:

Today’s topic is sort of a continuation or more accurately Part Two of the last episode where the topic was Common Video Questions & Answers.  IN that program, episode 11, I covered some fundamentals about contemporary video cameras and recording technology.

Today – the focus is about sharing the video you’ve produced.  You see, your video camera can shoot what files in the AVCHD format and then after editing you find that you need to share an H.264 or MP4 file.  It’s like techno-terms gone crazy…It can be confusing but that’s why I am here… to help you sort out all this mumbo-jumbo and make sense of the stuff that is pertinent to you!

Here’s a snapshot of what I’ll be presenting today:

  • Exporting & Converting Video
  • Video Compression Primer
  • Codecs and Container Formats
  • Tips for Sharing Video
