I have like 8 tapes, but I've noticed that when I've rerecorded stuff over a tape too many times that the quality of the tape starts to go down. Does anyone else have this problem?

Okay, so in order to transfer video onto a computer most people use a FireWire link, right? Well my computer does not have a FireWire port on it. However, my camera does have an outlet for USB. Is there a way that I can stream video onto my computer using USB. Currently, I am using Pinnacle Studio 1...

if you can get a cheap external mic to hook up to your camera that will eliminate a ton of background noise, and you dont have to do all the work of dubbing and syncing it.

looks really cool...What's your budget like?

so do any of these programs also create dvds? cause i need a program better than "Pinnacle Instant DVD recorder"....anything that lets me create menus etc.

looks interesting...hurry up and upload it

I say go with the sad ending. There are too many sappy cheesy happy endings out there, and they need to be balanced out.

Just record it straight off of your TV.

I think instead of remaking good movies people need to remake bad movies.

If you have a "glow effect" or a "blur effect" that can make it look more dreamlike...and try a blue white balance. That can either be done with color correction in post or while you're filming it.

That's pretty good. Sometimes i wonder if your stuff even belongs on an ameteur site. It looks like you're going all out on this.

I'm not quite sure how to help, but if all you have is horizontal movement then you could try cropping your background. I haven't ever tried it.

I would say delete any unnecesary cr** off of your C: drive and do a virus scan...thats all that i can think to do

I tested this method out but with mixed results. Firstly was that my friend watched me while I threw the egg at him, so he flinched, and when it is finally cropped, it does not look that good. But, the blood effects looked good and I could hardly even see the eggshell. My advice would be to not let...

well, this sounds terribly interesting and cheap as hell. I think I'm gonna go test it out.

Very good, very well explained. Alot of that is all stuff that everyone figures out eventually, but it's nice to have it put in clear basic words for all of us to understand.

Interesting...you'll have to show us the finished product

I liked it, kinda dissapointing that you used music from the matrix, but it still fit. Some of the fight parts were a little awkward, either slowed reactions, or people were too close together for what was going on. But the cloning was very good.
Good job.

Well if you don't tell people how old you are then they listen to you...But if you know what you're doing then it dosen't matter if you're 13 or 30.

very good, very proffesional looking, I can't wait to see the finished product.

I don't know anything about Vegas but I would just try taking your clip and right click on an image from it and hit save image as...

very good, i think that the camera was a little to bumpy at times. I really like shaky cam it adds a nice effect but sometimes it can be a little much. Other than that very good.

it was interesting, did she win the election?

I said that I prefer to not use it.

agreed, i am definetly against amateur digital effects
