Improving Video Footage

[Bartman]

Hi everyone,

This is off-topic as far as our planes go but on topic for those of you that enjoy shooting video footage at events and when you're at your local flying fields. I'm posting this because it's good info, doesn't cost much, and because I'm wearing one of our new embroidered golf shirts in the video!

We picked up a new sponsor for our "Drone" Radio Live show and the company, www.ProDRENALIN.com, is the North American distributor for the Pro-Dad line of video processing software products. It's always great for the sites when we add a new sponsor but in this case I've been a customer of theirs for a number of years and am very comfortable vouching for their products.

Promoting their products at GiantScaleNews.com wasn't part of the package we offered them, I'm here sharing this because it's good info and if you're not familiar with ProDRENALIN then you'll be surprised what it can do. You can download a full featured 30 day free trial from their website and we've got an exclusive 35% off coupon code that you can use; DRONERADIOLIVE

Here's their tutorial/promo video for ProDRENALIN;

Here's our special episode where we welcomed ProDrenalin.com as a supporter;

Lastly, come to MultiRotorForums.com and enter the words "I Love ProDRENALIN!" as a post in this thread

and you'll be entered to win one of two free copies we're giving away on Feb 15th.

For that price, if it does as it says, it's a bargain!!!! I've been shooting more videos lately.. Hmm...

Does the software also allow basic editing like trimming clips, fitting music, or titles/credits? I could definitely use a software that was all inclusive!

I have been looking for some good editing software. Thanks

 

[Bartman]

let me ask their US sales guy about using it for editing. it's more of a stabilization software that removes imperfections from your footage but let me ask

 

[ericb]

Looks like they have other options also. I am trying right now and will post the results.

 

[ericb]

Shoot. I can't do a lot of saving and such with the trial version.

 

[Bartman]

huh, i thought the trial version is pretty much the whole package, you're saying it's limiting you to certain functions?

 

[ericb]

Tried to save my video after it stabilized it and said I could only save 10 seconds with the trial version.

 

[Bartman]

were you able to edit sections and manipulate them into a full project like with other editing packages? the version I've used is Mercalli as a plug in to Adobe Premier. I've never used the ProDRENALIN product which is supposed to be more user friendly but with fewer options to fine tune the stabilization engine.

did it look better after running it through the software?
