Topic: How can I render in HD?

I have been using windows movie maker (perhaps a deadly sin) for my animations for as long as I can remember. My videos are all in 480p, but I can do better with my camera (Log. QC 9000, all my frames as photos are 1280x720). I know windows movie maker doesn't render in HD, but is there a way to render films in HD using another program?

I can't spend too much money at the moment, but a few quid would be okay. Or are there editing and rendering programs that do this for free? Out of the list of free programs on one of the sticky threads, do any of them render in 720p?

Many thank.

The newer windows movie maker (windows live movie maker) can do hd. Sony Vegas can do hd but costs money.

Re: How can I render in HD?

You may have to spend a bit of money to get HD exports...certain versions of iStopmotion can export in HD, but that can be expensive...You could try looking up the software "Animate It!" I haven't used it but it's fairly cheap (about £15 I think?) Not sure if it exports in HD though, but it's got the support of Aardman so it can't be that bad haha!

Until The Next Time, Tom!

He's talking about editing software not animating software.

Lightworks.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

I tried lightworks and it wouldn't take plain old .avi's (which is what most animation programs export)

I recommend saving up for Sony Vegas Studio.  It renders in HD and you'll never use WMM ever again, which is a great thing, because Vegas allows you the freedom to actually use your creativity.

I could get Sony Vegas within a couple of months, very later in the year... I remember a mate using it too. He was making a YouTube poop and he couldn't figure out how to change the length of a photo showing I think? This was a couple of years ago though. Is Sony Veags difficult to learn?
