I've not done much stuff with video before. I've been using my stills camera to record video, which is adequate. I need to compress the video though, as a minute is 50MB (bizarrely, the video is only tiny and low quality!). I've noticed some compression looks terrible on kite vids, whereas some compression on kite videos looks really good and keeps the framerate high. I also want to crop the video, as I only use up a bit of the frame and would like to make the kite a bit bigger. Also I need to cut it to one minute. Is there any free software out there which will do this?
Cheers.
edit: ps yes I am aware that the video has to be 60 secs continuous flying! I mean "editing" as in "post-production".
