Thread: Test Process of Precision Video Editors

The video recordings used were created with two camcorders: a Panasonic HDC-SD9 delivered AVCHD material (resolution 1920 x 1080), and a Sony DCR-SR210E chipped in with MPEG2 material (720 x 576). Both camcorders use hard drives as their storage media. During the import, we paid special attention to AVCHD, MPEG2 and the 16:9 image formats. In video editing, we assessed the editing capabilties such
as fadeover effects and optimization tools. We also checked some important factors during output: how reliably does the program produce DVDs and Blu-ray disks? How good is the film quality? We also assessed clarity, navigation and measured the time needed for rendering.



Value for Money: The parameters used for evaluating the programs are assigned a rating out of a scale of five. These parameters include video editing, ergonomics, output and import. The overall rating shown in the test results table is based on all these factors. In addition, there is a value for money rating for each application. This is obtained by analyzing the features and the utility of each application as against its price.
