Here is a "musical synopsis" of a family vacation my wife, stepson and I took to Jackson Hole, WY back in February of this year. It features images of skiing, snowmobiling, dogsledding and wildlife. Hope you enjoy... EDIT: See my post with embedded video lower in the thread.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMDSjJVvuksRon

Really nice job. Did you know what you were going to do with the shots of the finger waving ahead of time (why you shot it) or was it something you found when you went to edit? Either way great stuff.
PS what's the music called? cool for editing to the beat (wasn't it also the xmas light show that was going round the Internet.)
Happy Editing,
Beth

Thanks, Beth. I appreciate your comments.
The "finger waving" was planned. It is supposed to simulate playing a drum to go with the music. (I play drums and tend to key on things like that, sometimes, folks don't get it though)
The music is "Wizards In Winter" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. And yes, it is the one used for Christmas light shows I've seen on the internet. Besides just plain ol' liking the song, I thought it was an especially good one to "edit to the beat". I was just getting the hang of keyframing photos when I made this, it was fun.

That was very enjoyable.. I love how you set the pix to the beat of the music. I am still trying to figure out how to do that.... Donna
Go out and make it a great day. The choice is yours! Donna

Great piece and good choice in music. Liked the skiing video, felt like you where there and brought back memories of cross country skiing in Colorado.

Well planned and executed. What really makes the video interesting is the different shots and angles and creative shot making. Then throw in a masterful edit... Great piece of work!

This is great, Ron! I loved the way you matched the music to the motion!
People think I'm crazy for trying to videotape while bicycling. I didn't even know it was possible to tape while skiing!

Ron, were you using a "helmet" cam for the night skiing video?

Thank you all for your encouraging remarks! I appreciate you taking the time to take a look... Oh, Clayton... No, no helment-cam involved. I just held the camcorder out in front of me with the viewscreen open. I had however, skied that route several times prior to videotaping and so was familier with the course. I think at one point you can even see me holding the camera in my shadow. Ron

Wow, having never skied, I can't imagine someone holding the camera that steady going that fast.

Wow! Really nice job Ron. That was fun to watch, and your timing with the music was great. It looks like fun!

After being disappointed with the quality on YouTube, I set up a gallery here and posted the video with much better results. In fact, I think I'll yank it off YouTube since it looks better here, I mainly just wanted to share it with ya'll anyway. However, sometimes it seems to have intermittent pauses when playing back - don't know if it's my machine playing it or that's the way it was made. Anyway, here it is after re-tweaking -

I get the Intermittent stops too Ron. What were your file export setting set to?
