Very good, but if you'd like a constructive criticism I would say that if the angles were changed a bit more often and you used the zoom button (Shift + or Shift -) then it could be even better. A great video though. Well done.

Neat! What did you use to capture this? I'd like to give it a try sometime...

AB, haven't seen the video yet, but I'll watch it tonight when I get home....as for the comment that you should use more camera angles....try to mix it up a bit.  Don't keep the same angle for more than 8-10 seconds.  Fast shots will move the pace of your video along.  Can't wait to see it!

i used fraps but it was like 400mb so i compressed, edited and added the music in windows movie maker

WMM is actually a great entry level video editor.  I was quite surprised when I saw all the stuff it could do.

I've got both Pinnacle Studio 9 and Sony Vegas 5.0, and to be honest I prefer the cheaper PS9.  Vegas is okay, but for most projects, it's got much more than I'll ever need.

If you don't want to drop $100 on PS9, WMM is PLENTY for 99% of most video projects.  Just don't overdo it on the transitions, and you'll be fine.  (I never use anything other than fade, dissolve and a hard cut.)

AB, I can't answer for sure without seeing the video (which I can't do right here in the ER lol) but I'll take a look at it tonight.

Did you capture the video from the Instant Replay in FS9 or did you do it "live"?

[AlphaBravo]

the landing and takeoff is a replay the tiny flight bit is live. and i did it in 2k2 lol


Craig

[Scottler]

That's PROBABLY the culprit then.

[AlphaBravo]

I shouldn't do a lot of things at work.  But I suppose when you're in the top ten sites in the nation, you've got some flexibility.  lol
