My 1st project with Studio 14

Marshalddog — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:52:50 GMT

Version 14 seems to run the best so far (better than 11 or 12). My church wanted something with some "punch" for an upcoming series called "10 Questions".

1080p on YouTube

bhurst — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:36:53 GMT

YouTube added support for 1080p this week, so I decided to give it a try. This video features a local 80s cover band, Live 80, at a recent holiday party. It's probably not the best video to test out the 1080p quality because it was shot is relatively low light but here it is.

My comeback music video

jshelton — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 13:34:51 GMT

As some of you know, I had a rough start to 2009 due to illness. By summer, it was determined that at the heart of my medical issues was Celiac - where the body attacks itself in response to gluten (wheat). I started on a gluten-free diet and began my 12-week Body-for-LIFE challenge on August 24th, following the BFL fitness/weight-loss program and riding my bike like a mad man...

I created a music/progress video celebrating my big comeback with clips from my bike rides and progress photos from my very successful challenge (8/24/09 - 11/14/09). The song is "Turnaround". Pretty darn fitting...

This link will play the video directly from YouTube.

Virtualdub and deshaker

WeeWee — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:38:04 GMT

Here's what Virtualdub and deshaker can do. If I tried to use Mercalli on this from an HV20 Canon it would be full of jello effects.

Did this with S11 Ultimate. I'm not much on fancy effects. Basically use cuts and fades.

Preserving family stories, traditions, and values

PuterMan — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:43:56 GMT

An interesting niche that is slowly turning (hopefully) into a second career is to help people tell their story. Everyone has one you know. This little clip is part of a three and a half hour DVD made for an Itailian-American family attempting to preserve their stories, traditions, and values. All of the people in this are brothers and sisters and they wanted to pass this information (from when their parents came to this country in the 1920's) on to their children, grand-children, etc. I get to meet the nicest people doing this type of "work". Truthfully, it's not like work at all.

Here it is

One scary piece of road in Southern Utah

WeeWee — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:29:33 GMT

Here's a one and a half minute video that gives a better perspective on the ridge road that goes between two canyons in Utah. I did this with Virtualdub but did not tweak the settings before I uploaded it to youtube. I redid it and the rolling shutter effects are better, but this was a very shakey clip. I was holding the camera out of the drivers' side window on a tripod with the wind blowing it all around and it was bouncing up and down pretty good. So, given the original conditions I think it came out pretty good. It is virtually unwatchable in its original form.

My Music Video of the song MOULANA by Youseph CHICO - SufiLiveTV remix 3 v2a

PureHeartVideo — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:27:28 GMT

Made with Studio 14 Ultimate Collection with no premium features on a 2.6Mhz Core 2 Duo with Windows XP SP3 and 2 Gigs of RAM

OK, Studio 14 crashed once or twice doing it but was able to reload without re-booting the machine, and saving it as a High Quality Upload .wmv then uploading it to YouTube made the audio go out of lip-synch.

Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of 14, having also owned previous versions of Studio.

I'm very happy to see the addition of 'export between markers' (not used it yet though)

I'd love to see the NAMES of clips above each clip on the timeline.

Enjoy,

SSBB: The Return of Gannondorf (A Super Smash Bros Brawl Mechinima series inspired by Dragonballz)

Link'sMastermind — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:55:13 GMT

Yo, I've been making a seiries with my pinnical twelve and am eager to upgrade to PS14 so I can start adding some seriously awesome effects on the next episode! I've been tweeking the effects on my pinnical 12 and figured out a few quick tips on here if anyone would like to know them.

Deleating the audio off of the video tracks: Is there audio on the two video tracks that you DON'T need? Simply muting these tracks affects the file size anyway, however I've figured out a little trick around this that should work with any version. Just 'lock' the video section of the track, then select the audio clips and not the video clips. Just deleat those and boom. you got an empty audio track you can use for narrative. Though that narrative has to be recorded in the program, you still have two empty audio tracks to use! (Sound effects and the music track)

Oh right, I guess I should put my first two episodes on display for ya, that's what this thread is about anyway xD please rate and comment if you like it. On youtube if you want to rate it.

Monument Valley, AZ

bhurst — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:52:56 GMT

This is from a recent trip to Monument Valley, in the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona.

The flute music and song are by our Navajo guide, Willie Blackwater, and the soundtrack is by a group called Longhouse (http://www.last.fm/search?q=longhouse... rom=ac).

FWIW, this is all video. All pans and zooms were done "in camera".

Stories Retold - Here is the promised video from the "Preserving Family Stories, etc." thread

PuterMan — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:15:15 GMT

Here are two excerpts from a longer interview with a man who has recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Irv Polk has operated a program and ministry for 46 years for disadvantaged youth that gives them a place to learn and grow. He continues to be involved with the kids as much as he can.

Since these excerpts are from a 35 minute interview, my purpose is to tell a quick story in about 5 to 7 minutes. The DVD contains the long interview plus these clips. It may look like the video editing is very choppy and not done well... and that is fair. However, the excerpting required shortening some audio which means a video scene edit. I covered most of the really bad places with pictures, but the real intent was to capture the story in spite of the video prettiness. I also broke my rule about a "busy" background. The reason is that every office in their building has one of these "busy looking" bulletin boards and that characteristic needed to be captured. In my little videography niche it's all about the story... no matter what. Sound like an apology? Probably.

In the first clip you will learn a little about the Lifeline program that he started. I thought they may want to use it on their website.

In the second clip you will hear some of his wisdom gained over the years.

The interview and editing went together quickly and wasn't difficult technologically. But it was one of my harder projects.

Here's a new music video: "Mine Safety"

joedeshon — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:18:12 GMT

I created a new music video with Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 12 using a public domain video on mine safety created by the US government and some free audio resources from The FreeSound Project at www.freesound.org.

Here it is:

Nothing fancy here, but it shows what can be done using whatever free stuff you can get your hands on. I hope it's an inspiration.

My first Studio 14 project

jshelton — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:11:12 GMT

Sunday, Oct 4, I took on my toughest bike ride of 2009. When I committed to doing the Tour De Poway 50-miler in August it seemed almost crazy at my weight to attempt such a hilly ride that starts out with a 3-mile climb up an 8% grade...I carried my Flip MinoHD camcorder with me and made my first Studio 14 video from the footage.

The main goal of the video was to capture the symbolic and real victory over chronic illness (pituitary failure, celiac, thyroid...).

I really liked the new motion title editor although I had a few crashes while using it. The project bin feature was great and made putting things together much easier and quicker, especially the often arduous task of deciding on the music. I liked the stabilize effect but was disappointed that you can't use it and the speed effect at the same time. I used the Shine effect to create a motion effect that worked well. And the new interface is really nice.

Introduce the band

joedeshon — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:04:50 GMT

I offered to create a short composition for a band to use as they took the stage. I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to pad my musical portfolio and to see what I could produce using exclusively free sounds from freesound.org.

When the song was done, I figured I'd advertize myself a little bit by making it into a video.

I snagged some free images from freerangestock.com and told my story. A hall of mirrors effect and a slight pan and zoom gives the static images a frame and a little bit of life. A sepia tone and a slight bluring effect helps them not to detract from the text.

I played the song and captured the effects from Goldwave using CamStudio. Then I loaded them all into Pinnacle and re-synched the graphics with the sound. The two graphics are trimmed with the 2D advanced editor and laid on top of each other.

The result is this:

I think it turned out pretty cool. I'd like to know what others think.

Machu Picchu video

pdmurray — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:14:40 GMT

Last summer I was in Peru for about 3 weeks and was able to have a wonderful time. Some of us won what we refered to as the "Machu Picchu lottery" when the trains that bring people here was on strike the day that I visited. I had gone the night before so I could get there early in the morning before the trains brought the day tourists. Instead of thousands of vistors, there were only a few hundred spread out over the entire day. (There were periods when I didn't see anyone for long stretches of time. Imagine going to Disneyworld and only 200 people showed up that day!) The weather turned out to be perfect, too.

I also spent a good bit of time in the in the rainforest along the Amazon, too, but I haven't put that video together yet. As they say, stay tuned...

The quest for 40 miles...

jshelton — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 09:27:17 GMT

Hi gang!

On Saturday, 9/5/2009, I headed to the coast (San Diego) to see if I could do 40 miles on the bike. I took my video camera on the bike so that I could share my adventure with you on my quest to hit 40 miles for the first time this year... Here's the YouTube link:

Merry Christmas ??

bhurst — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:19:33 GMT

Every year, just before Christmas, we make up lots of goodie bags for the Flight Crews who have to work on Christmas Day. This is the event from last year, but I was feeling Christmasy this weekend and I have to make an end-of-year DVD for the Culture Committee before this year's event will take place.

"Maybe I'm not so fat after all..."

jshelton — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:15:31 GMT

I grabbed my Flip MinoHD and did a quick handheld take to capture my new perspective on my weight. No fancy editing, just wanted to give folks a chuckle.
