For a contest, I hope I can use IMovie8 to create a 30 second spot. I am an amateur, so please help and be blunt. There is no budget except borrowing. A Network commercial quality is required.
If I obtain a Vivitar DVR 840XHD to do the recording ('cause it is $180 at Radio Shack) will there be any degradation once it is loaded into IMOVIE8? What if I use a Kodak Zi6?
2. What can I use to capture audio (movie will require to have people speaking) if I use the Vivitar? Can I record the audio separately and add it to the project? If so, what type of mikes (or whatever) is available?
3. Is there a better and yet cheap way to get this done: industry quality video and audio using IMOVIE (only)? Do I need an editing software like FC?
