Video: Riding the train with the Nokia N95

The most interesting part of Steve Garfield’s post would have to be the fact that the video you’re about to watch was edited on his N95.
That’s right folks. The N95 has a built in video editor. This isn’t iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, Vegas or Windows Movie Maker. This is pure Finnish innovation.
I’m impressed:
I’ve only owned one camcorder in my life. It was a Sony Hi8. The one thing tapes offered me that digital doesn’t was the fact that I could record multiple clips and have them play one after the other.
What I mean by that is I wish my Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N93i and N93 had the capability to merge videos I recorded on the fly. I don’t want to install editing software just to combine two clips, add some transitions and a soundtrack.
Dear Nokia: Can you add the video editing features on the N95 to the N93i via a firmware upgrade?
Update: El has just introduced me to features I never knew existed in my Nokia N93i. I guess I should have read my manual! Thanks El.
what are you talking about???, every nokia nseries phone has the same editing features like the nokia N95!, you enter in to edit in the gallery end you can combine two clips and add transitions a soundtrack with every other nseries phone, n93 and N93i as well.
thanks el!
I’ll repeat: RTFM. What kind of review is it when comment section is full of corrections to misleading information?
Just dropping my 0,02 before you publish your review on this one…:)
thanks for the top tip Henrikki. I really do need to crack that baby open.
Then again isn’t S60 all about being intuitive? =P
Stefan you are right; it’s a two way street (in a sense). But you have to your part. It’s a totally different system if you haven’t used it before. Wouldn’t you want to use it to it fullest potential?
I have used Apple as an example: I haven’t used them before and it’s totally confusing to try them out at shops where they are displayed. I can’t even figure out how the windows behave because the don’t act like they do in my XP. I don’t go criticizing Apple about this, because I now It’s my fault not to take five minutes to learn things.
And with this one you don’t get of the hook that easily: it’s an application in the menu! How much more intuitive must it be?..;) + with my N73 at least you get to edit video with “movie director” right from the “options” menu.
