apart from some messing with camcorders back in the late '80s and early '90s, I have zero experience in video. I should ameliorate that statement with a college course of video production I took. But we really didn't get to do all that much in class that was our own personal production, it was all group and on analog video equipment, no computer involvement at all.
No, this is my first attempt at the ubiquitous music video of guitar in chair in front of camera. iPhone SE. Pair of SM57. UMC404HD interface. Mac Mini. QuickTime.
a nearly 6 minute video was almost 900 MB in size. I'm going to take a wild guess that i don't need to be recording at such resolution.
I want to be able to look at what I did while playing, find the bits and pieces that I want to work up into compositions. I'll have to go back to the other computer and see what I did, but I think it was in HD. That right there probably accounts for a lot of that 900 MB. The vast majority of the footage won't be kept.
After making sure I'm in SD, what's my next step in reducing the file size per minute?
