Hi Jean. Thank you so much for the feedback. I’m so glad you found this tip simple…that is my intention here on this site. Online video can be made simple and addictively fun. Let me know what you think about the other 6 videos once you get a chance to watch them.

Hi Dennis,

For camera recommendations, here is what I can suggest:

1. Flip Mino HD:
http://store.theflip.com/MinoHD120.aspx

2. Creative Vado HD Generation 3:

3. KODAK Zi8:

These are the top three pocket-sized cameras out there now. For online video, they have very comparable specifications. The Kodak and Creative Vado HD Generation 3 have a slight advantage since it allows you to connect an external microphone to it for better audio quality.

All these cameras:
1. Record at least 2 hours of video (which is plenty)
2. Have built in USB connector that pops out the side, and can be used to charge the internal battery.
3. Record excellent quality HD video
4. PC and Mac compatible
5. Can easily upload to YouTube and Facebook
6. Can connect to your big screen TV
7. Easily fit in your pocket

In terms of editing software, I highly recommend the following affordable editing packages:

PC Users:
a. Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiohd
b. Camtasia: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp

Mac Users:
a. iMovie: http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/
b. ScreenFlow: http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm

Please don’t be shy to ask any more questions if you need anything else.

Thanks Hani. What video camera do you recommend for a newbie (I currently use Flip but looking to get something little bit more sophisticated but still withing budget of $200-$300)? And what editing software do you recommend? Thanks.

Hi Michael. Thanks for the nice words. I’ll definitely keep creating more videos…if you have any specific video topics you’d like to learn about, please don’t be shy to ask and I’ll be more than happy to create them.

Also, I do have a RSS feed, but I removed the link recently. I’ll repost it again: http://www.easyonlinevideotips.com/feed Thanks for pointing it out.

Can’t wait to start seeing more videos on your blog…I really like your funny santa dancing video you have on there now.

Hi Cherry…thanks for dropping in and welcome! I think you’ve made a great decision to start incorporating videos into your work. Video is a powerful way for your clients to get to know You better and to build that trusting relationship with them. Please don’t by shy to ask any technical video or blog questions at any time.
