so, yeah. I have a Flip video camera, that records in HD. Problem is, a 5 minute video can be like a Gig is size, easily.What are you guys using to crop/trim your videos, and is it 'free' or purchased? I tried using Handbrake, but it killed the video output; looked like total ___ when it was done. It was also choppy as can be.Also, anything that can 'rotate' a video? If you film with it in 'landscape mode' (holding it sideways), the video is on it's side during playback on the computer..

I always open them with windows movie maker, then just save "for computer". I can hardly tell a difference and it cuts the size in half.

I use final cut pro studio. Hardly free but does a great job.Sent from my iPhone
