Required Equipment for Creating Online Video
- A simple Video Camera -- Emphasis on Simple
- The Flip Camera http://www.theflip.com
- Most Still Cameras record video
- A computer (Laptop or Desktop)
- PC - Windows Movie Maker
- Mac - iMovie
- Some Time and Creativity
Most important item here is to start with what you have. Don't go from ground zero, to HD professional equipment. Start with what you have and out grow it, then spend the dollars for better quality.
When it comes to a camera, the Flip has been the best and is the simplest to use. it does one thing well, provides portable, easy to shoot video
As far as computers go, get a mac. You will be happy you did. It might take some time for you avid PC users, but the media capibilites of a mac destroy a PC.
