This week I started using Sony Vegas. So far, I am loving it. Editing is going to be a richer experience. Now, on to the Queue…
- VHS to DVD transfers for Sherry: still in progress
- Walt and Dawn’s wedding video is still in editing. The move to Vegas is going to be helpful on this one.
- New project: Retirement from MO DOT - A photo montage for a retirement party. Production begins today.
- Informal/personal projects: as time becomes available, I still have some ball games to edit.
That’s the status for the week.

I finished production of Kenneth and Shirley’s 50th anniversary video today. Next up is some serious work on Walt and Dawn’s wedding video edit, with possibly some more T-Ball and softball videos sprinkled in between. When I am editing, I will simultaneously be transferring some VHS to DVD (with light editing) for a client of mine who is interested in preserving videos of her son.
I am keeping an eye out for turning leaves. Once they are at their best, I have an outdoor video shoot to do with the seniors.

Editing: I started editing Ken and Shirley’s 50th wedding anniversary video Saturday. Their party was last week, in Memphis, MO. I plan to incorporate a few elements from their anniversary slide show into this video. I hope to be finished before the end of September, as this is now a “rush” request.
Capturing to computer: I am still capturing footage for Walt and Dawn’s wedding video. It would have been in editing by now, had I not had to put a rush on the Elliott Anniversary project, due to health reasons.

I finally called Corey about the video editing. He said he had not done any editing last Saturday and will be at an event for his work this Saturday. The earliest he will be editing the wedding is the 25th. He is a very busy man with a new full-time job in addition to his own production business. I wish he would have let me know last week though, I wouldn’t have worried so much about it.
In the mean time. I continue to prepare my website, thevideoscribe.com and design business cards. I have also started researching new cameras. I found one I really like. It is the Canon XH A1, a high definition DV camcorder. From all of the reviews I have read so far, it sounds like the perfect camera in that class of DV cams. Of note, the CCD chip set is exactly the same as in the $9,000 Canon XL H1. The XH A1 is around $3,500, a lot of bones in my book, but not the $5,000 or more that I had thought I would have to spend to get a decent camera.
