Re: Amateur Recital Video Editing
Thanks for the input on the titles. I'll play around with them some more. My wife was the one who told me that she didn't think the "Studio L..." portion of the title should be on every title. I...

Re: Amateur Recital Video Production
Most of my pans and zooms are to better frame the next performance after one ends and I'm pretty sure they are far from professional. However, I want to use the fewest number of cuts to the CX160 as...

I did use PMB to transfer. The data on the XR500 was approximately 4hr 45min of footage recorded in FH mode which resulted in a single file of approximately 40gb once transferred via PMB. I just...
