Later, I'm going to raise the hatch a couple of inches and see if the flow improves, but for now I'd settle for getting the first video uploaded. 
I'm computer challenged so I'm having my problems with getting the video onto youtube. Last night I realized that I had the radio playing in the background, which the camera of course recorded with the video data. I haven't found a way to edit out the sound. I suspect I'd get myself into trouble uploading copyright material to youtube, so I'm reshooting the data this morning. I also need to sort out my camera format settings.My Canon 5D MKII records in .MOV vs. .mov, an apple format. I'm not sure they are the same, but I'll try to upload it anyway. Wish me luck. |
Don't worry about copyright in that case. Your intention is not to reproduce the music- it's just on by coincidence, undoubtedly with lots of background noise. There will be no problem uploading your video.
You should be able to directly upload the .mov file. YouTube will take whatever you've got and convert it into its own format. After it's done uploading it will give you a link to the video.
To record better quality video I'll give you some instructions. This is based on my Rebel T1i but it should be the same.
-Put your camera in video mode
-Press Menu
-Use the left-right arrows to go to the movie tab (it should be a red video camera icon on the top left of the screen)
-Using the up-down arrows, scroll down to Movie rec. size. Yours should say 640x480.
-Press "SET" (between the arrow keys). This will bring up several resolutions. -Set it to the highest available. My T1i goes to 1080p which is standard HD quality like on your TV.
-Press "SET" again to save your changes
-You should be ready to take high res. video now!
