In-Camera Video Editing
When saving the video to a standard definition DVD recorder or hard disk recorder,
con
nect the camera with an AV cable and play back the video to save it. Recording devices
such as hard disk recorders usually do not have an HDMI input terminal because of
copyright concerns. Therefore, captured videos cannot be saved directly digitally. Also, since
the EOS-1D Mark IV’s digital terminal is for connecting to a personal computer, it cannot
be connected to video camera accessories such as a DVD or hard disk recorder. If an OSK-E3
Data Security Verification Kit is used to try to play back an encrypted still image via an
HDMI connection, “Cannot playback” will appear and the image will not be displayed.
You can use ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser (provided with the EOS-1D Mark IV) and a
personal computer (Windows or Macintosh) to do such things as view and edit the video,
extract still images and convert file formats. However, for smooth playback in Full HD or
for HD quality, a personal computer with Core2 Duo 2.6GHz or faster CPU and 2GB or
higher RAM is recommended.
With ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser, you can also copy a lightly edited video back to the
card. The camera can play back the edited video only if the editing was limited to editing
out the first and last scenes; it cannot play back videos edited in more sophisticated ways.
Videos cannot be played back with Canon camcorders compatible with the AVCHD format
nor with the M80 Canon media storage device.
If you play back a video with the camera while the “Shooting information display” is enabled,
the shooting mode, shutter speed, and aperture will not be displayed. However, the settings
at the start of video shooting will be recorded to the Exif image information. If the video is
set to manual exposure and the ISO speed is set manually, the ISO speed will be displayed
on the shooting information screen. The ISO speed will not be displayed if ISO Auto is set
along with automatic or manual exposure of the video.
You can edit out the first and last scenes of a
video clip shot with the EOS-1D Mark IV in
about 1 second increments. When you select
[Edit] on the video playback screen, the editing
panel will appear at the screen bottom. You
can select from [Cut beginning/Cut end/
Play/Save]. While watching the edit bar, use
the Multi-controller and Quick Control Dial
to mark the editing point. With Save, the
edited clip can be saved as a new video clip or
it can overwrite the original clip.
