Hello Eugenia, I am curious to understand why the title of the shots include the "campgrounds" reference? I am very familiar with the Stanford campus and am not familiar that any of those shots included any of the "campgrounds" -- which are a little outside of the campus near the newly renovated football stadium. Did you mean to refer to it as "campus"?

[Eugenia Loli-Queru]

That's just a typo (I already talked about it on my blog). English is not my native language, plus it was 2 AM when I finished editing, so it came out of my brain as "campground". Maybe I was thinking too much of sleeping...

I was very impressed with that video. WOW

What program do you use for editing? Great Job!

[Eugenia Loli-Queru]

Thanks! It's Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8. Costs about $130. It supports 24p timelines (even unofficially), so no reason for the full Vegas version yet.

Thanks! I'm still trying to find the right software to use. Right now I have Sony Vegas 7 and Premiere Elements 3.0.

The Canon HV20 will work better with either Vegas 7 (the full $500 version+updates), or Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum ($130). The Platinum version of Vegas 7 has HDV-specific bugs and does not detect scenes in the HV20 captured footage. I bought VMS7-P on 20th of June, only to upgrade to v8 as fast as I could, just 10 days later, in order to get better support for HDV.

I appreciate your help. I don't want to make this into my QA thread. Lets get back to the main topic.

I re-cut the video today (different clip arrangement, a few new scenes, new color grading) and re-uploaded it on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/366681
