Is your camera compatible to edit with Windows Moviemaker and any specifics I need to shoot in?

Windows Moviemaker is junk. Toshiba included the wrong version of MediaImpression in my package but ArcSoft upgraded it for free. It is a decent program. I dub most of my videos but my Camileo produces a very low level audio that needs boosting, for which I have used Avidemux. If you choose to dub, I recommend Audacity.

yes, but be aware that they will be in .avi format, so if you are trying to view on a tablet or apple device, you might have to convert to mp4. If you are saving a movie on movie maker, then it'll convert on its own.

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

It has iMovie. I don't really use it so by all set up and ready to use if you mean it starts and I am able to import files in it, I should say yes.

Carolyn, VLC media player will play the files without any problems. I have been using the camera for 1 week and it works fine. Also, Windows live movie maker can splice and edit videos.

I don't think the camera has edit cap on board. I edit in the software I have on my desktop. after download.

I don't use any video edit programs, so the only thing I can suggest is to try it. Good luck. I do love the Envy H8, and with my high speed internet (7-8 Mbs), it moves along quite nicely.

Yes, you can. I use my Mac for all of y video editing and it works just fine with my Final Cut X. Although it took a little while to figure out how to extract the videos lol. But it ended up being pretty obvious and easy.

Simple. Use Windows Movie Maker which you already have on your computer with Windows XP. To find it: Start button ... All Programs ... Accessories ... Windows Movie Maker

Abogo just put the camera setting on Intelligent Auto and shoot for a day. You will be very pleased with the video.I use Final Cut Pro X 1.0 you can use iMovie if you have a Macintosh. Tom

don't KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY COMPATIBLE..It saves captured video as AVI, MPG or .MOV and thus would work if you want to edit with Adobe Premier

K, I to have that ? There's alot out the about Mac/Intel supports only to find the answer defeating your purpose. I want to edit my recordings with Imovie8 and am concerned about buying this camera and ending up with incompatible issues like Codec,codec conversion,transfer, capture, reduction of quality. Not to much all the unqualified reviews out their. I'm off to Europe soon and need the right cam. will fs11 do/Imovie

I had the same problem. You need to convert the file. There are many softwares that will do this for you. I use Moavai which I bought online for about $30. It also has an editor in it, or you can edit your converted files with Windows Movie Maker. good luck.

I edited a 10-minute video doing some pretty major visual effects using imovie, QuickTime and several other tools. It worked just like on my imac. The only issue is that with a shorter battery life, this type of editing cannot be done for long before you have to plug in the charger.

I don't use the camera software for editing, but here is a good article on how to do it with Windows Media Player or some free software. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2034143/how-to-grab-a-freeze-frame-from-a-video.html

I use regular simple editing software after copying to my computer. Best camera/video I have ever used. Buy it. It is worth the price and then some.

some people have apparently unsolveable problems with Windows Movie Maker codecs. It's hard to tell if the problem is with Windows or the camera manufacturers.

as for video editing, i would recommend a newer version. though you can get the same software on this model through mac app store
