[edit] Overview
When Videomaker started in 1986,[2] the average video camera cost nearly $2,000, was very large and heavy, had short battery life and shot a poor-quality picture. Editing was done through a tape-to-tape VCR edit system, making a dub of the original tape, which obscured the image even more. [3][4]
Videomaker Magazine provides reviews and previews of the latest hardware and software for the video hobbyist and professional. Articles cover the use of camcorders, video production, digital video editing, audio production, DVD authoring, lighting, distribution and other items of interest to the video enthusiast. Issues cover industry news, buyer’s guides, product reviews, step-by-step instructions and feedback from readers. Its articles rate/review the latest equipment, teach production techniques, and explain new technological advances.[3]
