Hockey Video Editing Software

Quick question.........I take a lot of HD video for my boys' hockey teams. I upload the video to Youtube and the coaches and parents like to watch the games.

One of the coaches has asked me about editing the video, so that he can show XYZ forward a few clips about coverage in the defensive zone and such.

I've looked into it a little bit. I tried gamefilm360.com but it's way too slow to upload the video to their site. An average game shot in HD is about 5 GB of data.

I see some solutions like Easy-Cut that aren't free. I don't mind paying if the software is decent. Anyone in this forum use any software or apps that they like? Here's my criteria:

- I use a Sony HD camera, not an iPad. An app for video shot on an Apple device isn't all that helpful.
- Because of size issues, it's cumbersome to have to upload the video to a site.
- Any good solutions to pull 30 second clips right from Youtube? I'm already uploading entire games to Youtube. Youtube's video editor will not work for my needs as I have to be able to cut clips in the middle of files.
- Ability to stream the resulting clips to devices like iPads would be helpful.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Do you upload it to your computer, and if so, what is the file format (e.g. avi, mpg, flv)? I've seen some free applications out there to grab bits and pieces of video files, such as VirtualDub.

As for downloading from Youtube, on Linux there is youtube-dl but if you use another OS, there's likely something similar.

I upload AVCHD files to my computer.

Does your software give you a method of converting the files to avi format?

I'm sure that it's possible with a file converter.......but could be very slow. Why is AVI necessary? Thanks for the info.

VirtualDub, the video splitting software I mentioned earlier, only takes AVI files, or at least the version that I had used. It's possible that more file types were integrated. Looks as if it will read MPG, but will only write as AVI. http://www.virtualdub.org/

As for conversion, ffmpeg may be the way to go. I'm sure if you also did a search for the AVCHD codec, you could find one. http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
