This was my very first attempt at making a video.

Nice.

Shiv,
Nice work on this. It's a little slow and I'd like that lady, Peggy, who did great, to tell me more information about the software.

Will,

Thanks. That was my first attempt at making videos look professional and my first go with the XHA1, and all the other hardware, lights, and editing software. Quite a learning curve that.

What you see is probably re-shoot number 5 :).

How did you get the shots to appear in boxes like that? Also what Plug-in's do you use with Adobe CS3

Cat,

I made a mask in Photoshop. Essentially it's a png image file with alpha transparency meaning the parts through which you see the video are transparent while the rest is pure black.

I then take that mask (some people call it a matt) and put it on a video layer on top of the rest of the video layers.

Does that make sense?

I don't use any plug-in's. PPro CS3 out of the box.

Shiv,

Well Done. Good complementary lighting for the interviews, strong still images, decent audio, capped with skillful edit.

I've viewed all 3 videos with interest. I take it the Merlin featured in part. ?
