I think some captions would have gone a long way. especially on the night racing shots. ---

Nice. Although its seems you’d be doing yourself a favor by upgrading your equipment, i can see that you know a thing or two about post processing, Im just not really impressed with the footage, It just seems to lack the professional aspect, and I dont mean to sound like a dick, but you want smooth transitioned, eye catching clips that have the wow factor and a very professorial look, and this just doesn’t do it for me. Most artist’s can take criticism in stride and gain from it. I’d hope you can do the same. ---

I just have to work with what I got for now. I wish I could call myself an artist! lol ---

Not a bad idea. Clips were overly long though and the vid left a lot of dead time in the scenes with nothing happening. But I did like it. How much video did you collect through the year? I need to start editing my vids… ---

The funny part is I wasn’t out most of summer.:eekdance: I think that’s why there is so many dead spots. I just didn’t have the type of footage I wanted for some of the movie. Hopefully that will change this year. Get to your footage! I want to see what other people can put together. ---

You should de-interlace your footage before rending, will come out better and wont have the jagged lines when objects move. That will also make it look better when being streamed online. to de-interlace before rendering in Vegas, just go to **File** -\> **Properties** -\> then where it says “ **de-interlace method** ” choose blend fields, or interpolate [try both, see which one you like better. I forget what I was using this year.]. Do this before rendering and it should get rid of those jagged lines. ---
