30-60cm would all be fine. Box height doesn't matter as much as most people think!

whoa, is that your girl Damien???

lol no, my girl doesn't trick (just strenf trening)

Biggest problem with Vegas is the audio scrubbing... in the "trimmer" but imovie has awesome audio and video scrubbing.

I think the timeline in iMovie is retarded, lol! Quicktime Pro for very quick cuts, or Final Cut Express/Pro for more editing.

Sony Vegas Production Assistant Process -

Shoot video...
choose premade custom template... (fades, titles, intro, outro, transitions... all you want...)...
Select music...

DONE... upload to youtube...

OF course this is mostly for easy tutorials and long windy explanations of training principles

It's true that making PC work perfectly requires some hacking ... but I found that once it's in place.. my work flow is amazingly streamlined, and thus production up.  I just couldn't find all the programs I needed for mac... and now.. I just can't find any reason to change to mac... But I'm definitely open to mac, and part of me still wants to switch, I just can't find any reason.

Nice analogy...

I never tried that assistant. Don't like the idea that a program will cut my videos for me, as most of my video have specific frames that have to be in the video and i on't think it would recognize it...

When were you using Mac? The times that there weren't programs or alternatives available are long gone! Often times there is open source/freeware that is better than commercial PC programs.
At first i was scared to make the switch, but i've never looked back and would be missing so many small features on a PC.

Dude I don't know what a VDSLR is.. I thought both the sony and canon were DSLR...

I have a feeling we're about to be kicked out of this forum for topic drift.

Adarq rules with a steel hand knife.. which he wears around his friggin neck... have wondered why.. ?? anyone?

V-DSLR is a Video DSLR - DSLR with video function

I love Vegas... the production assistant makes life so easy.

Interesting... about slow mo...  I'm a noob in this stuff, by my vids are getting a bit better.

well, at 30fps, every frame will be exposed to light for 1/30 second. at 600fps its only 1/600th second, so you can imagine that theres a lot less light for the exposure at 600fps.

Someday we'll fight about Mac vs PC... (Was a pc.. then changed to mac... now I'm back to PC)

I want it simple, easy and working. I also don't mind if it looks good. I don't like to "hack" on my computer anymore, so I'm Mac all the way! I have to say that i do gfx and video stuff and most people use Mac for this.

That Lightworks looks cool... It'd be awesome to have the "wordpress" or open source giant of video editing... with tons of awesome plugins. etc...

Videoediting/Filmography is the same as Training. At first you want to use every gimmick and effect and you are searching for the secret magic pill. In the end you go back to the basics - Training: increase max strength with squats & deadlifts, get faster with sprint & jumps - Editing: clean cuts or fades, basic text titles, no effects (hey, that's how movies are done!).

I found this $290 dollar cam, yesterday, it's an anamoly.. it's basically used for one thing... analyzing form, and mostly for golfers.

It shoots at 600 FPS... holy slow mo... I'm thinking about grabbing that just to do soem serious form analyzation or dunk vids slow mos.

Slow mo in AE is tight though.. I messed with it in the trial... Sony Vegas slo mo is easy, but not sure it can stretch out all stinkin 600 frames.

I have the name of the cam written down if your intersted... It doesn't shoot a large size pic... probably not much bigger then standard youtube.. but the slow mo is insane.

I usually buy the stuff at Best Buy first, use it and return... I bought the sony and it has some sweet features.

I like the swivel out display so I it's easy to setup flyin solo.

Yo Jacob,

If you shoot at 600fps, the cam will still save the video at 30fps. So you don't have to "stretch it out" with vegas.
The problem with those cameras is that you need good light for the slow motion. Indoors is problematic...

V-DSLRs are a pain in the ass for quick filming (point and shoot, without preparation)! Manual focus with the desired shallow depth of field isn't easy! No image stabilization makes it even worse...

For most people i recommend Kodak Playsports or Kodak Zx1, as they are cheap, easy to handle, small and record 60fps. You can also modify them to put wideangles or fisheyes on them.

AE, Vegas, Final Cut, Premiere = all "industry level". It's just that AE is a compositing suite and not a video editor. I personally don't like Sony Vegas and would rather use Windows Movie Maker, especially on a slow computer (everything other than clean cuts and text titles sucks anyway...). For Mac, Final Cut (or Quicktime Pro or MPEG Streamclip) is the way to go.

i never tried this, but it seems to be good (and free)

i think this one is much better:


how about that?

I would much rather have the milk I had when I lived in Mexico. Fresh from the cow. Naturally grazed, no crappy diet.

Milk's benefits outweigh any problems it has.

Raw milk from grass fed cows - i want!
