Surfing edit at DVinfo.net

Here's a little edit I put together from a surf comp this week.

Shot with the FX7 and a Libec TH-650 tripod. Just a quick edit of the highlights done in Vegas Pro 8, only CC is a slight contrast & saturation boost.

Enjoy & please comment!

I think it's pretty decent and the original edit or master would be great to watch.

However, the encoding is very poor, and it's not vimeo's fault. If it's a showreel, you might want to re-encode to vimeo's specifications, assuming your master is of the highest quality.

What is this intended for?

Vimeo encoding has never been my strong point...

However, if you click through to Vimeo and turn HD on you will get a much improved version which is closer to my final encoded file. I followed the Vimeo instructions closely for HD encoding but it seems the SD version Vimeo made takes a massive quality hit.

The clip is just something I did for a bit of fun - I'm working on a project with a guy who was in the comp and figured seeing as I would have all this footage from the day that wouldn't make it into the final project I'd throw up a little edit for everyone's viewing pleasure!
