Converting 7D videos

Hey guys, I read a post or a sticky a while ago teaching how to convert the mov files into smaller avi files. It said something like the .mov are the 'raw' video and you convert it with cineform (which I do not have) to avi and do something in Premier and start uploading them on youtube/vimeo. If anyone can show me another way of converting these .mov files without Cineform, I would be very thankful.

so many ways guess it starts out what you use to edit with?

I have the Adobe Collection and Vegas pro but I read a post about converting the .MOV file into a smaller and compressed .avi file. I just need to know what program to use. I HAD Neoscene but my trial ran out...

currently use cs3
what i do is edit then go thru these steps:


file - export - adobe media encoder
in the left under output tab select the deinterlace
now back to the right side export settings pick one
lower frame width height pick them
advanced settings you can pick your bit rate etc...

play around see what you like the best? size wise and look of video when finished.

you can take a look at stuff i have finalized with these methods?

Expand to large screen vimeo has all the sizes of video below even youtube comes out good once the 1080p is clicked
Its a learning game i am trying to figure out pictures on the 7D right now its been so long i swear to god my photos look like crap everything coming out of this camera looks like crap right now and it shouldn't, need to read more

BTW these 2 vids i did were on a hd go pro all i had i was selling all my equipment to get the 7D and gear then a bunch of riders show up and i was not ready...

Why are you deinterlacing 7D video Jay?

Jay, just to drift OT for a second...how were you wearing the Go Pro and what were you on. I love the effect!

well i don't but he might want to deinterlace
if you don't deinterlace your vid looks choppy lines and grainy no?
All i know is if i uncheck it vids look like hell once checked and exported it looks smooth

but i have a check button on the right side thats always checked don't have to double check it to see if its "to be done"
My old editing suite made me do it (check the tab every time) I have some old vids not done and they're hard to watch!
gopro was on my gsxr front and backwards
also mounted to the ground and held like a camera as smooth as i could be


But remember this was from my hv20 XL2 and some other cameras the 7D is like a week old

The camera makes digital originals so interlacing is a non-issue.

OP, is there a reason you want to rewrap the file in an AVI container? It's becoming antiquated. You'd be better off putting it in an MKV or M4V container with h.264 encoding. Handbrake will do this and it's free.
