Title: Advice about a footage (new in footage stock)
Post by: davidbautista on September 30, 2018, 00:47

Hi! I have been uploading my photos for three months now. I want to try to upload a footage about a wasp. It's short, but it's 4K (I think, I don't know a lot a about videos). I have some questions: how do I know if my video has the codecs (?) that some sites such as SS and Pond5 accept? Also, the video was recorder with sound (I mean, natural sound). Do the videos need to be muted, like without sound? If so, what software do you recommend to delete sound without affecting quaility? Thanks a lot.

I cover the camera mic with duct tape to prevent sound from coming in.

I use MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) for simple edits (cutting off start and end, removing sound, generating suitable output codecs).  It's free.

VLC (free on all platforms) will tell you what codec, framerate, resolution etc. your clip has, and you can easily export a version without audio without encoding the video again.

But if you are going to take this seriously you need a real editing program like Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or any other competitor. The ones I listed are probably the best choices though.

What's the point of doing that? It's dead easy to remove the audio track in just about any NLE software.
