Hey, I've been asked by my boss to 'souce' a camera and editing program that is capable of doing the following. And i could really use some help deciding on the best bit of kit.
Quite a daunting list at the moment, i have been looking at panasonic video cameras and some cheaper alternatives and to be honest they all look good fo dvd video recording but i cant be 100% sure about the sound recording. The editing program is the hardest thing to find, after looking at soo many editing programs i cant seem to get one that will be able to do everything needed.
Budget at the moment is £700 +/- for the camera and software. Any help would be really really usefull, as im continuing to look but not found the right kit yet. Thanks
- A video camera that has great in-build sound recording
- That is easy to use, possibly a touch screen
- And produces dvd quality video at the touch of a button (not hd)
- Will be film on building sites 80% of the time, so a camera that is built well, but will be on a tripod the majority of the time (warranty?)
- Would be great if the mic could take out some abient sound (will be recording people speaking whilst on site)
- An editing program that can convert to dvd and play that dvd on a dvd player without problems
- And editing program that can merge small 1-5min videos into one long video
- Possibility of sub-titles and music
- And most importantly the ability to edit a title page that shows the individual 1-5min videos as chapters, and and a 'play all' kinda feature that will have business logo intro then the videos (like a moive dvd)
- Including an end page that will include business info etc.
