Help Editing

[Conspiracy-]

 So I actually went out and recorded some decent combos & tricks with a friends camera.  When I go to upload all the videos they are in MPEG video/audio stream format. My problem with this was after loading the videos I wanted to sort the good and the bad but when I go to play them they lag, I played it on I tunes, Media player and quicktime but its kind of choppy and is lagged for the first 5 seconds after I press play and than it goes normal. Most of the things I did were in the prior to the 5 second mark and are thus laggy.( I plan to edit them with Vegas)
Any suggestions?  Would just changing the file type fix this? or is it something with the frame rate, I'm new to this stuff

Your help is appreciated

I'm not 100% sure, but I would convert this file to AVI, the frame rate will also be converted and will probably help unlag it.

Would that also reduce the file size?
I'll go convert it and see it if does the trick

I'm not an expert with video, but I think AVI will be larger, because it's an uncompressed format. The file size shouldn't matter though because you said it was a short video? So I doubt there would be any size limitations on YouTube if it's short.

Alright I got it all done,  but I have no clue how to separate the audio track from the video as I want to add a song to it

i take it your lag problem is fixed?

seperating audio and video is very easy. you said vegas? just slap the video into the timeline and itll have the audio underneath it. just right click on the audio track's layer and delete it

Then just import your song and put it in the place the old sound was.  :biggrin:

he said he had no idea how to separate the audio from the video, not adding audio. tbh youre spamming borg.

I saw that so I thought I'd save him some time and tell him how to do it just incase. If he didn't know how to separate the audio, chances are he'd get confused as to where to put the new song he imported.

You've made me write an unnecessary post now!

the reason he wanted to fix his problem was to add a song. the problem was not adding a song at all, you should read better. i fixed his problem, you are just useless. postboosting, -karma.
