Video of CSR

Thanks Eric
Where/when would I be able to view/purchase a copy? - I live in Tassie, and what content did it contain?
As far as I know, there has not been a video available before and I thought it would be handy for people who are considering the trip. Hence the thought of making one of our own. I only have a JVC 450x Digital Zoom but my hubby is a television director (who can do camera and edit much better than I) and we have a good editing package on our home computer (much faster than even the TV Station has). Even I was able to edit up the footage from our last trip to the Gulf/Kakadu into something worth watching by friends and family. (2 1/2 hours footage condensed into 15 minutes - so as not to bore the troops). There may only be a need to produce something for our own purposes now.

Patsy - What video edit package do have pls - GaryDead in the City - Alive in the Bush

Hi Gary
The edit package we have is "Pinnacle Studio version 7 special edition". I bought it for around $179.00. Version 8 is now out but version 7 is good enough (leaves the one that came with our computer (Windows XP with Microsoft XP) for dead. You do need a lot of RAM though. Ours has 512MB. Our old computer only had 93MB and did not have what it took to render the edited movie once put together). As with everything to do with computers, as soon as you buy something, it is superceded by a higher version - Patsy

Hi Gary
Sounds like you got a good package too. Ours too has titling abilities and overlays. With the video I put together, I managed to keep what sound track suited and put the rest to music (there are all types to choose from but I elected to use music from our own CD collection). I was able to insert a separate title page, title overlays for the different areas we visited and had a wide range of transitions to insert between frames. I was also able to split frames. Of the 2 hr 20 odd minutes of footage, it initially took me quite a few hours to put the package together (using our old computer). A lot of this time was just discovering what I could do with the package and how it worked. Before I could render it back onto the camera, my husband crashed the computer and I lost everything. We then purchased a bigger computer and it only took 1/2 hour to redo. We also have the ability to do voice overlays or do a narration. There is probably heaps more that it can do which I have yet to discover. I still have a lot to learn and as hubby works in a TV Station, he is able to assist me with things that I should be able to do and how to put it together. One day, I might be able to get a DVD Burner on my computer (I only have CD Burner at the moment) and then I can put my films on DVD instead of video. I am still going to try and put a decent video together of the Old Abandoned Gunbarrel and CSR on our next trip (Sth/Nth) but probably just for our own benefit as I have made contact with the group who are at present putting together a DVD/Video of the CSR (Nth/Sth) and who tell me that it will be out shortly and available for retail purchase from most Map Shops. We have had 4 trips away to date with the 5th big one as mentioned above coming up. I have only had my digital video camera since the last trip and hopefully, there will be many more trips in future to capture. I classify my photos and film as my souvenirs.
Good luck with your editing...
Cheers
Patsy
