You can do that. Add edits to empty timeline. Alt-drag your desired effects to the filler clip to nest. Alt-drag a submaster effect on that as the last effect of the nest. Click on the submaster effect, and alt-drag the effect icon from the effect editor to a bin. This saves the nest with source (which is blank, cause it's filler).

This submaster acts as a clip, you have to cut it in above what you want to effect.

You can do the same thing to an actual clip and it will save it with the clip, too.

Well I always thought that should work... afterall, it's called "sub-master effect", but maybe it's one of the few things in my ancient (heck, I'm even ashamed to admit it) version of Xpress DV 3.0 that didn't work like it should.

Someday & hopefully soon, I'll do a major upgrade... get a beefy box & Media Composer software. The recent reduced price is certainly more attractive. Are you going to upgrade from Xpress Pro?

Absolutely. But I'm waiting until the new version comes out that's Vista and Leopard compatible. Apparently the upgrade price will still be good then.

Hi Vito,

I thought that was a blast, great moments captured.

I couldn't see/hear anything that was inappropriate but I'm extremely liberal when it comes to that sort of humour.

Really funny and well edited to the music & I really liked the use of sound bytes scattered everywhere also.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing. If we can produce "Kids in the Hall" and "Trailer Park Boys", what's a little crotch comment?

Thanks for the great feedback, Michael. A pleasure to hear from you.

Great clip Vito. Nice and Smooth.

Candy Dulfer never gets old.

Question, did you shoot that before or after bridal prep or was there someone else at the bride?

Cheers!

Hey Jason,

Oh, boy. You got me Googling on that one....

That was before the bridal prep. Most of what we do is with one camera, believe it it not. So I went from the groom to the bride, then church, then photo shoot, and finally the reception. All by myself. It's a grueling day, often 16 hours, but fun. I sure would like a second guy sometimes to help me carry stuff and run a second camera at the ceremony, but that's life.

By the way, I'm a big fan of your work. Always impressive. Thanks for the nice feedback.

glutton for punishment! =)

now that's even ore awesome considering all the work is done by yourself.

I loved it! The transitions work well with the rhythm of the music. While it's not very "romantic", it seems real and will provide a nice contrast to other scenes (I imagine).

I'd love to see more from the day...

Hi Bill,

Thanks for checking it out. It was a lot of fun to do, and I'm glad it worked for you.

This clip that I posted is from the reception of the same wedding:
