I recently attended the BMF motorbike show near Peterborough, at the event I captured around an hour of HD video (1080i) on my Canon HV20 camcorder and I wanted to create a couple of YouTube videos to share the experience. Being an awkward type I decided that iMovie just wouldn’t cut it, I’m not against iMovie per se but I really want to learn how to use professional tools rather than rely on consumer-level software. It took some serious head-scratching, teeth-sucking and general messing around but I was quite pleased with the final results…
BMF 2008 – OCC, Grand Prix & Flying Gunners
The elements I like most are the intro (visual effects and overlaid titles) and the “lower thirds” (little strips popping up at the bottom telling you what you’re looking at), the parts I like the least are the audio mixing (I didn’t add any filters or compressions) and the track changes on the soundtrack (I didn’t cross-fade the songs).
