Is this a camera or camcorder model and make would be helpful.

depending in the format that your “camera” takes the video in will depend on what you have to do. Most liable you will need to conver the video from the format that comes from the camera, simply plug in your camera into the computer, have you installed the software that came with the camera?. you should be able to go to may computer and the drive for the camera will be there open it and copy the video to your computer. once that is done find the file format (Windows movie maker does not support many file formats) and see if WMM will edit it. if not then you will have to conver it
here are some free video converters.

once you have done that then import it into WMM or your editing software and place it into the timeline. you can cut the video there

Excellent luck

I want to bu Sony HVR-Z5N

Answer by Small Dog
I *reckon* the “N” designation means the camcorder is localized to Japan. So that would be a excellent house to start.

(U is US or North America; E is Europe… there are other codes used for a few other localizations that have the menu on the camcorder in the local language.

The “N” designation means the camcorder is localized to Japan. So that would be a excellent house to start. U is US, E is Europe… there are other codes used for a few other localizations that have the menu on the camcorder in the local language.)

The HVR-Z5U camcorder is designed to enhance creativity and deliver the highest standard of optical and audio quality. Sony’s newly designed “G Lens” is incorporated into the camcorder, boasting brilliant resolution, color and contrast for breathtaking images that rival expensive interchangeable lenses. This new compact camcorder boasts Sony’s 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system, utilizing the technology of Exmor, to provide brilliant low-set alight sensitivity and making it ideal when high routine in limited set alight situation is a requirement. The ergonomically designed body allows flexible shooting under any situation, while maintaining Sony’s worldwide reputation for quality and high routine. The standard features of the HVR-Z5U include 1080/24p/30p HDV native progressive recording modes. Sony’s new cutting-edge fusion recording system incorporates an optional HVR-DR60 or HVR-MRC1K Memory Recording Unit, which allows simultaneous recording on tape and non-tape media for improve NLE workflow efficiency. The fusion recording system is also competent of simultaneous HD and SD recording.

The z5u is a serious piece of equipment. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now, and only in anticipation of now I feel I know it well enough to write a decent review.
First off, the camera looks really sleek, feels solid and very well built. Its look isn’t as metallic as the Z1, but the feel is very similar.
Of course, you can use it from day one with everything on auto, but if that’s all you’re ever gonna do, you’re better off with something much less expensive, like those tiny HD cameras that are popping up everywhere.
Speaking of day 1, your first accesory is necessarily some kind of carrying bag or hard case. Sony has a backpack that’s incredible, but costs more than 500 bucks. I got the Kata bag, which is perfect. I also got the large battery, and the cables that are not full with the camera (Firewire, HDMI, XLR extension). Also, I got SONY HD Master minidv tapes, as well as a 6pack of regular sony minidv tapes. After some preliminary tests, I must say the image on the HD Master tapes is noticeably better…
The main menu is simple to steer, though it has enough levels you will get lost in anticipation of you explore each a couple of times. One thing is, there are a lot of things on that menu, and the button and selecting wheel are really small… or perhaps my hands are too huge? My main uses for this menu have been to select progressive or interlaced modes, and 60, 30 or 24 frames per second. Also, I’ve used it to assign all the assignable buttons under the handle, fine tune white balance temperature, set the handle zoom speed to its buck setting (that way the handle zoom is my slow, controlled zoom, and the rear zoom is the quick one, very matter-of-fact), and altering the gain setup (I left everything on 0, less grainy that way).
The range of the G lens is perfect, since it goes from a wide angle to a 20x zoom.
The 3 ND filters are fantastic, though I’ve only really used the first one for an exterior shoot, which brought out the detail of a sundown brilliantly. The picture profiles are nice too, this is everywhere you can make all sorts of color adjustments, including gamma, depth, wb shift, etc. Here I made a profile based on cinematone 2, only I connected it to a monitor and made some adjustments to my personal taste. These color profiles are assignable to easily accesible buttons, BTW.
Both the stereo and shotgun microphones are brilliant, though I haven’t used them extensively enough to offer a more complete evaluation.
I don’t have the optional memory unit (MRC1K), but haven’t found it absolutely elemental. It would be matter-of-fact, but I’ve had no problems capturing HD video via firewire on Adobe PremierePro CS3, running on a Mac. I might buy it though, but only after a nice tripod, a lighting kit, and a DOF adapter kit.
Will post an bring up to date when this camera has endured more serious, long term usage, but initially it couldn’t be better.
