I love Vegas. It took me a little while to get used to using it, but now that I'm past the learning point, I would never edit without it again.

I'm surprised I haven't gotten this shit yet.

Not a problem.

My video camera is a Sony HDR-HC1 high definition camcorder: http://images.tomshardware.com/2006/03/30/sony_hdrhc1/sony_hc1e_kamera13_big.jpg The camera shoots in 1080i, and makes for some GREAT video. I just picked up an external, wireless microphone for interviews, etc. This gives you a pretty good idea of the quality of the video this camera shoots: Make sure you watch it in HD.

Sure. The video that I am most proud of is my Carlisle 2008 video that I did for a video contest. Granted, everyone may not like the music in that video, but I will tailor a video to meet anyone's demands. My best picture is this one: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/Flashlights3edited.jpg

Hey everyone, forgot to post something up in this section as far as my studio work goes. While automotive video/photo work is my specialty, I can do any work that would be required. I shoot videos with a Sony HDR-HC1 HD camcorder, and take pictures with a Nikon D40 DSLR camera. I have over three years experience with video, photo, and other types of multimedia. I can do the following for you: -Filming -Photography -Photo work (I.E. Photoshop) -Web design (SOME) -Many other things I have made MANY videos since 2005 when Firehead Studios was established, as I'm sure many of you know from the various videos I've posted over the past few years. I will work with you to accomplish any goals you may have. Whether it be a profile video of your car, or some really cool pictures of something of your choice, Firehead Studios is there for you. My website can be found in my profile, in my sig, or at www.fireheadstudios.com You can post in this thread, PM me, or email me (can be found on the Firehead site) if you're interested in any work. ***I WILL NOT DO WEDDING WORK*** The price may fluctuate based on a specific project. I will give other information if anyone needs it. It's 1:00 AM now and I'm tired. Hit me up if you're interested.

I ordered the slap chop, I need my life to be exciting from cutting food.

For real. I mean, this video is fucking REAL. Hostile is a Hollywood film, and no matter how hard they try, it will always be less believable then a home movie like we all saw with this killing video.

I think the OP on the bodybuilding forum found these pics on Myspace and made a story about it. Either way, KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE!

That's a pretty solid setup for a V-6 car. Oh, you've got mail BTW CRAWDAD.

I never saw that, but hot damn. If someone hit a 200lb deer going 140, I seriously doubt the car would still be around.

Back to work on the SAME project I was working on during that all-nighter.

Got the PM JJ, you've got mail now. If you need any other help, don't hesitate to ask. I know what you're saying about the Premiere Pro too neonkiller, I did the same thing with Vegas. 99% of the time it's impossible to find what you need in the book, so trial-and-error is your best bet.

Very nice. I will own a Stang like that one day.

Looks like fun. I'm loving the cam lope too.

I didn't say you couldn't start with Premiere, but I just think it would be easier to start with the basics and work from there. I applaud you for learning straight from Premiere Pro.

Windows Movie Maker is actually a pretty powerful software for being a stock install on the PCs. I used that when I first started out, and I made some pretty nice little videos with it. Video editing is the kind of thing that the old expression "practice makes perfect" comes into play about. I spent the first year or so of my editing career (before Firehead Studios came about in 2005) just messing around with the software and making compilation videos. I was surprised too when I found that I had editing software on my computer! A lot of it is just trial and error. Limewire is a great tool for getting music for videos. As far as matching pictures to the music, in the program, you can either go by a song that you know and put the switches to the beat, or watch the sound progression of the song in the audio track. It will just take some getting used to. Windows Movie Maker was great for my first little bit with Firehead, but after awhile, I outgrew it. Now, I am using Sony Vegas 6.0 to do all of my editing. This is a great, powerful software that I am still learning how to use even after a few years. I would recommend the Vegas software to anyone, and I believe that they are up to Vegas 7.0 or higher now. My 6.0 software is awesome for what I need, and I would look at either that or Sony Premiere Pro. Premiere is VERY expensive, but very worth it if you are going to be doing a lot of video editing. I have stuck by Sony products since I started doing studio work, and I will stick by them for the extent of my career. If you do upgrade to a more advanced software, be prepared for a steep learning curve until you get the software figured out. Once you do figure it out though, it is like making the transition from a point-and-shoot camera to a DSLR one; you don't know how you got by before without it. PM me if you have any questions about Vegas or want any more info.

Not too bad, here's a couple of things though: -Match the photo transitions up with the music to give it a better effect. -Music isn't bad, but that song is rather harsh and difficult to work with. Choose songs that are better flowing and easier to work with next time. -When the car makes an actual pull, just put the music down a little bit; you don't have to completely turn the music off. This is effective for REALLY loud videos, but for this one, you would just have to turn the song's volume down a little bit. Those are a few of my tips for video success. I've got a few more tips, but those will get you by for 95% of your video stuff. If you like these tips, I will give you more. May I ask what program you used to edit it?

I'd have to have a go with each of them. I hope they PIITB.

You should be congratulating your fellow Honda owner. Very nice car Josh, hopefully we'll get some pics of it soon.

Yes, but don't worry about it.

Damn you, I'm sitting in my basement laughing like an idiot now.

+1 Just not the thing to do.

Ipod touch, Garmin nuvi, another Mid Ohio driving class, a couple of xbox games, and a few other misc things. I'm posting this from the ipod right now

**Edit** Was posting off of my iPod. Reading owns me.
