Video from Colorado and Utah Trip

jamesl

Hi All,

Here's a few videos from my trip a few weeks past to colorado and utah. All were shot with my Cano HV-20 camera. I'm pretty happy with the results overall, but I found out after the fact that my tripod level is wrong, and all my videos are tilted. I use Windows Movie Maker for processing my movies. Do other movie making tools allow small incremental rotations and crops?

wow those are great! have they been picked up for broadcasting?

I use Final Cut Pro which allows for rotation of the frame to correct tilted horizons. I also use Avid and VT5 which also allow correction.

Thanks! It was pretty amazing. It's always impossible to capture just how amazing each of the places was, but I at least have something to remind me of the trip.

Thanks Aaron. Ha, no, no broadcast on these guys. I think me continuously bumping the camera will keep that from happening. I need to get a heavier trip for my video, that is for sure.

Thank you Ray. I'll check those programs out.

Thanks for posting James, I've fond memories of Arches. I lived and worked 5-10 minutes from the Bells(read driving by on 82) for two seasons but was never fortunate enough to get to them.

Was Independence Pass open when you were there and if so did you go up and over?

Thanks! Too bad you never made it up to Bells. What a beautiful area. Kind of expensive to get in, but my parks pass worked for it.

Independence Pass was open, and I went over it on my last day, as I headed back to Denver. What a crazy road. It was a bit intimidating, as the sun was very low in the sky and in my face a lot of the way. I didn't really get any pics there, but the scenary was very nice.
