My old comp just cannot export these films i made today except in AVI format. They end up being massive, like 4 gigs since its is not compressed properly. I am going to go and get a new tablet for my new comp and subscribe to CC and get new photoshop and within that they have editing software. I will make a new tutorial once I get the hang of the new software! Since i can use the two previous files, I will make a video onthe clean up porcess that will be much better quality. Everyone is gone for the holidays so now seems like a good chance to get used to the new comp. It's super fast .

So are you using Windows Live Movie Maker? If not you could just use that. It's not the best tool out there but it's free, it does the job and starting with the 2012 version it can export to MP4 which is the most universally compatible format with good compression ratio. <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows-Live/movie-maker" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows-Live/movie-maker</a> Obviously, Adobe video editing software (Adobe Premiere for instance) is superior, but do you really need that? It's pretty damn expensive and a bit difficult to use. If you are stuck with a Windows Media (WMV) file, which I doubt, it's compatible with all PCs, even if for MacOS and Linux you need to install additional playback software. However, I don't think WMV is compatible with any portable device (Android, Apple iOS...)

2014-12-24 17:43:50 +0000 UTCI'm going to start using my new computer now, I went and got a new tablet and will buy photoshop CC which has movie editing software. If I just put up a Windows Media file, could people still watch it?

2014-12-24 16:45:30 +0000 UTCI think any computer can export videos in any format. It's just a matter of using the correct software and either having a fast CPU or a lot of time at hand. I don't know what software you are using for your videos, but there are plenty of free and open source tools to compress video efficiently with modern codecs and video containers. For example, you can use HandBrake to compress videos to H264 with AAC sound in an MP4 file, which is the standard high-quality format these days: <a href="https://handbrake.fr/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://handbrake.fr/</a> Depending on what you use to record and edit your videos, maybe you can't use this software though... If your recording/editing software allows using external compressors, you may be able to install an H264 and an AAC codec that it can use. I hope this info can be helpful somewhat.
