I just made a video and want to edit it on my PC. I have Zoombrowser EX 6.9, and DPP4 however neither seems to be able to edit the file format MP4 that the G16 has created. Suggestions?

Thank you Richard. I get on fine with Zoombrowser but that seems not to have made the jump from file format mov to mp4.

 

I am hoping to find something other than Imagebrowser EX, while I am sure it is admirable software for many purposes my prior experience with it, perhaps a couple of years ago, was unfortunate. My needs are simple but I like to be in control. Perhaps I slipped up and overlooked something in the Imagebrowser installation dialog, it is possible. Upon being launched for the first time Imagebrowser EX automatically assigned itself as my default image browser without asking permission first. There followed a lengthy delay during which my PC was locked up while Imagebrowser read and indexed the entire contents of the My Pictures library, many GB worth. Having done this it displayed the results sorted by date instead of filename. While this may be appropriate for many photographers I prefer to have greater control over what happens on my PC and I stopped using the software. Depending on what else I can come up with I may take another look.

I investigated ImageBrowser EX downloading the latest version. Unless I am mistaken it seems to be able to handle video format AVI only unfortunately.

From my experience, I can say that it is more practical to use an editor that supports several video formats at once. Using it, you will save time on constant adjustments to the new software and will be able to save videos in several formats at once. If you don't have much experience in video editing, I recommend Movavi Video Editor. I used it at the very beginning of my career as a video editor. The program has a simple set of tools that can be found easily, like in most editors. Good luck!
