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

I actively use it for filming B-roll action shots. This camera has a great optical stabilizer for moving and following subjects for music videos or tracking subjects. I use Final Cut Pro X for editing.

I LOVE this camcorder. Hi Def is incredible. Still shots (photos) are also great. I use it mainly for sports. I bought a couple different lenses (wide angle & telephoto) because I like what they offer. I personally use Adobe Premiere for editing but Final Cut would be another great option. Wondershare is also decent for quick editing and nothing fancy.

this camera is great for a lightweight professional kit, as a compliment to a more expensive camera or as a tool for the independent blogger. However, if you're looking to start making videos, there are plenty of cheaper options. Get a decent (sub$400) canon or sony consumer camcorder, and invest instead in stuff like lighting, a tripod, and a field recorder like the zoom h4n if you want better audio. Spend your savings on something like Lynda.com (tutorials) and a subscription to Adobe CC (creative software suite) to teach you everything you need to do to make your videos look their best.

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.

Sorry I just use for my photography. I have not used my camera for video. I have old Fuji 5 mp that takes the best video of anything I have ever used even new sony. I still use the old xd Fuji.

you should use memory card "Class 10" or "UHS 1". it will be good to record 60F/s. If You use Memory card under class 10, your clip will be lag, not smooth

Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software. I use Pinnacle 12, with the recent AVCHD update, but I still have trouble synchronizing the audio with the video. Have tried many things, including new video card. I have a fairly fast computer and lots of memory. The camera will convert to SD, but of course the image will not be nearly as nice. SD, however, is so much simpler to edit.I will admit, the more I use the camera, in basic, automatic modes, the more I like its features. The on board lamp does actually help, some. Color adjustment in auto mode still lacks, but overall, its a lot of camera for the money.Good luck, sir. Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software.

The thing is, you may not want long clips anyway. Multiple short clips is not a problem. So starting and stopping solves the problem. If you really need continuous recording, you probably will be better of with an old stationary camcorder anyway.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

There are a couple of popular 3rd party software platforms that can be used for recording video. Blue Iris and Ispy come to mind. Disk utilization varies depending on the frames per second you require. 7 meg per minute would probably be the max.

That is what I did with this camcorder and a video capture software. BUT!! I bought a refurbished one of these and it ruined one of my tapes. bye bye precious home videos.

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

Oddly enough, I've never tried it. I always export the footage for logging. Interesting question!

I use this primarily when I am shooting a wedding reception and can cable it directly to the DJ board. You can use it as a stand alone recorder then sync up to your video later when editing.

I wasn't sure either because it's not in the recommended list from gopro. I recorded a 7 minute long video (1080p Medium width @ 60fps) a couple days ago and it worked just fine.
