I personally would have had the music playing in the background the whole time and when she was talking I would have turned it down a touch. There were a few places where you had some very quick shots that seemed out of place that were distracting from the whole story. About the 2:22 mark you had maybe a second of her changing tables with music then cut to something else. Prior to that you had a shot of chair legs, cut those. When she was talking about Salsa dancing, you could have shot a little bit of that type of dancing. </p> <p>The video was not horrible, just could have been edited a little differently. Keep shooting.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/web-tv-follow-a-six-month-trip-in-asia#post-71655 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:22:15 +0000 florian 71655@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>For those who want to discover a city in Philippines and not only islands, I just edited a new video about Manila.

PAL debate, it seems that PAL may offer better quality, but since I already now own an NTSC cam, I'm more concerned about the loss of quality in the transfer from NTSC back to PAL in the final edit.</p> <p>We're shooting on a solid Sony DSR-PD170 NTSC camera with a timeframe of two more weeks approx to solve this.  I see the following options available.</p> <p>1). Sell the NTSC Camera and buy a PAL version (thus minimising future damage)<br /> 2). Exchange for a PAL camera in Hong Kong<br /> 3). Restrict NTSC to PAL transfer time to the final edit (thus saving costs) and push ahead with what we have.</p> <p>Of the three, Option (1) may not be possible, if I can't sell the camera at the same rate I bought it, as my budget will be shot.  Option 2 is wishful thinking at best.  Option 3 seems the most sensible/logical, but will even the best transfer machines/algrothims result in a huge loss of quality?</p> <p>Eventually, I hope to sell this film to a TV network so quality is very important.  The film has not been pre-sold as yet.</p> <p>I would really appreciate any thoughts or expert opinions at this stage.  Option 3 seems sensible, but if the quality is a loser, then I don't want this documentary to be.</p> <p>Thanks.<br /> Steve</p>
