In all seriousness, let me tell you what I'm doing: For my annual mountaintop bivouac I clipped a Flip Video camera onto the shoulder strap of my back pack. I got quite a bit of standard-def video on the hike out, during my photo shoot and on the way back, commenting as I went along. I'going to put together a video using parts of this video (the less-motion-sickness-inducing bits!) with stills and voice-over narration. I hope to convey a little of what a hike such as this is like to those who would never attempt such a thing. My first obstacle was that Adobe Premiere Pro (CS4) didn't like some - but not all - of the mp4 files produced by the Flip Video camera. Weird. So I set about converting them into a format that it would cope with. However, every conversion I tried has issues: Some produced good video but distorted audio. Or no audio at all. Some turned out audio but no video. In the end I settled on one file format that produced good audio and one that produced good video and applied both conversions, then combined them into a single AVI file that works. That's where I am now. Next is writing a bit of script and editing the stuff together. With luck, those of you who've never been to GFM will have a video to give you an idea of what it's like soon. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
