I am finally putting up my first clip to share and get your critique on. I know I need to work on steadier camerawork. That has to be hardest thing to get is that smooth footage I see so many of you all here have mastered. I have been viewing everyone’s work here for a couple of years now and have learned so much for all of you and wanted to thank you all for all the countless tips and techniques I may have shamelessly copied - ha. Please let me know what I could do to improve or if I am overdoing something. I would appreciate your honest feedback good or bad. Thanks in advance.

Just as a note, I am pretty new to exporting a clip to WMV so this clip is a little hefty and comes in at 34 megs. Any advice would be great on what setting I should be using in Adobe Premiere Pro or from QuickTime Pro 7 would be great. Here is the link...

Thanks again,

Looks pretty good and it looked pretty steady. Good job!

in quicktime 7, try mpeg-4 video at 1000kbps, with 44.1 aac stereo audio compression. i'd suggest h.264 but not everyone has quicktime 7.

downloading now... i'll take a look at this later. thanks for sharing!

thanks dan

You should be proud of your work, the B&G will love it and that is the most important thing.

Thank you for the kind words. I think we all are probaly our own worst critics so of course I see many things I wish I had gotten better shots of and so forth. I am pretty happy with it overall though.

I was going to go the H.264 route but was afraid there may be to many that have not got QT7 just yet.
