Guitar

Guitar is the most popular musical instrument that is played worldwide. Whether you are a teacher or student, take a look at the example video clips below. They demonstate how you can use Video Surgeon to slow down an instructional video to more easily see and follow along. The example clip below was taken from a YouTube video we downloaded using Video Surgeon. Four different version of this clip are supplied below. Below the videos are a series of pictures or images from the video.

Video 1: This is the original clip from the YT video at normal speed and with no zoom.

Video 2: This second video is the same as above except that it is at 25% of the original speed. It is easy to see how this slow motion helps you better see and analyze the swing in the video.

Video 3: This third video is the same as above except we have applied a 2-fold zoom. So both slow motion and zooming are applied to make it easier to closely examine the swing.

Video 4: This fourth video is slowed even further, to 6.25%. No zoom is applied. Again the value of slow motion for dissecting the technique and exact fretboard fingering used by the guitarist.

Pictures from video: Video Surgeon allows you to print to paper or to file, one or a series of images. In the example below we have the same image shown but at different magnification levels. Click on the thumbnail to see the full sized image.
