SLAP Adventure Rally vid #3

Loved the Polish music there. I was waiting to see some old Ruskie woman come up and feed you salted fish. Nice job with the video editing; did you use the same program?

well, i tried my hand at Adobe Premiere for the very first vid...and, while it DID offer me more control, that program is really big and i don't think my processor or my memory is big enough to really work it correctly. so, this is what i've found is working for me:
1) i put down my video, transitions, effects and narration down in MovieMaker and publish it.
2) i then load that into Adobe Premiere and lay down a music track then use Premiere's cool 'volume control' to master all three audios: video audio, narration and music. I then publish it again.
3)THEN, i take that version...run it through MovieMaker AGAIN to condense it a bit more and it's ready for YouTube.

It may seem like a strange process but these are beginning to really look good. Here's a question: is the narration annoying?

I don't find it annoying at all. It adds perspective to what is actually going on, and does add some comic relief. You've got a great voice to do that, as Yam mentioned in your SLAP2 vid. Keep it up Pete, you're doing a great job! The only bad thing about processing the vid so much is you lose clarity and sometimes it over-compresses. I agree the AP program is a PITA. I have Corel and it seems to be easier to use, but it's by no means as easy as MM.

I love the narration!!

Sweet! The narration makes even better!
