Re: Getting video to the web
Thanks Igor,
I’ll look into that.
I ended up setting up the K-1 on the bigma, it’s night to be able to instantly
get a wider field of view.
I just used quicktime to string together a bunch of clips of feeding from
yesterday

Re: Getting video to the web
Larry,
Those are very nice and interesting videos!
I've been uploading videos made with both K-5s and most recently K-1 to
Youtube. Here are a few thoughts and hints based on my experience.
I don't know what format K-3 is using. K-5 and K-7 were using video format that
is not well compressed, "Motion JPEG". And the file container was .avi .
To speed up the upload and to conserve my monthly bandwidth allowance, - I was
recoding it to MP4. To give you an example of just one file (~3 min): 882 MB ->
290 MB
K-1 is using a better codec (H.264) to compress the video, so the videos
are smaller to begin with. (And the container is .MOV)
Yet, I sometimes recode it as well.
E.g. 0:54 sec is 148 MB -> 28 MB (This video subject seems to be more
compressible in general, hence a much smaller file per minute.)
(After a quick google search, I see that K-3 is using the same video
format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (MOV).)
To recode, I use a free tool called Avidemux. I am using it on Windows, but I
believe it exists for macOS too.
It also allows cuting videos (and splicing them, - but no fancy effects. For
those, you can try a free tool called VSDC, and Wings
Platinum 5, which has a free version ("Basic", IIRC).
Avidemux also allows replacing (or removing) audio tracks easily.
I use these command line options for Avidemux conversion (to optimize for
Youtube):
avidemux_cli.exe --nogui --load VIDEO.mov --video-codec x264
--audio-codec LavAAC --output-format MP4 --save "VIDEO-upload.mp4" --quit
(I suspect --nogui is no longer needed.)
Sometimes, I recode manually, but sometimes I run a batch file.
Let me know if you want one as an example, and I will send it to you
directly.
HTH,
Igor

Re: Getting video to the web
You can do all of that in YouTube Studio. Get an account and set it up . It's very easy. I made this one on the Isle of Man, using my iPad, the 8mm camera app, and the Reel Director app. Took a half hour from start to posted on YouTube. https://youtu.be/75K3Wl8dGG4 G > On Jul 3, 2020, at 5:47 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > >> On Jul 3, 2020, at 4:45 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: >> >> Upload to YouTube.

Getting video to the web
I’ve been using my K-3 to get video of the Steller’s jays. For the most part the lighting/exposure is pretty good. Is there an easy way, using a mac running high sierra to get it posted on the web? It doesn’t have to be full resolution (probably shouldn’t) but it would be nice if it was reasonably good quality.
