Editing your mobile phone video

Fri, 09/03/2007 - 09:44 — brunodbo

Once you've got your mobile phone video clip(s) onto your computer, you might want to edit your material. Put a few clips together into a short movie, or use your mobile phone video in a video coming from a DV camera. You could use one of the big programs like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere. But like all (or most) big programs, they are quite expensive. There's a bunch of free tools available to edit video. One of them looks particulary interesting for editing mobile phone video - on the condition that you're a Windows user:

Super is a video format encoding and trans-coding tool. It is completely free and looks very powerful and easy to use. Super encodes video files to any of the most popular formats and codecs - H264, Mpeg-4, 3gp, AAC, mp3, FLV (flash video), aac, mov, Mpeg I and II, SWf as well as pre built for I-Pod, pocketPC and PSP devices.

Since Super supports importing from and exporting to the 3GP format, this looks like a very handy tool to work with mobile phone video. 

You can download Super here (scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the actual download link).

There is also the (not free) Ulead Video Toolbox, that offers a special version for mobile phone video users ($50):

"Video-message editing software for 3G mobile phone users. Using a PC, import and edit video clips in popular formats including AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 & WMV and output to 3GPP/3GPP2 - the most common formats for mobile video." 

I'm listing a few links to video editing tools' overviews & resources, for your browsing pleasure:
