Thanks!

I'm using a nikon s8200. Kinda on the high end of what i'm comfortable with spending though.

I quite like Matthias Wandel's videos (i'm largely trying to copy his style to be honest) and I was originally looking at getting the nikon s6200, but I found this article/ video by him when looking for demo footage and reviews of the s6200 and decided to go for the s8200 instead. If it's good enough for him...

It was really one of those things where you kind of go in expecting to spend, say, £60. Then once youre comfortable with that idea £80 doesn't seem as bad, and then once you're comfortable with that you can maybe manage £100... and then before you know it you've spent a bunch more than you originally intended.

I'm pretty happy with the video quality though but i'm not so keen on the microphone hiss. Shame you cant plug in an external microphone like with fancier cameras.

The other way is to dub the audio at the editing stage
I have some good editing soft ware you could "borrow"

Don't worry i'm already 'borrowing' some software. Took me a while to find some that actually worked as I wanted though. Alot of the new ones need a 64 bit operating system which I don't have.

It got more complicated still when I got into the wonderful world of codecs and rendering. I'm still not sure what I really did to get it working in the end.

I did think about recording audio seperate but it seems like alot of extra faff to get everything synced up for each clip. In that woodgears.ca article Matthias has alot of seemingly insignificant complaints about each camera that are easy to work around, but I think I can appreciate why they'd bother him so much now.

Divided he ad:
Just to throw my bit in.... I'm hooked, I want to see what this thing does!? :borg:

Videos... I've done a few, spent 12 hours editing one last year. The computer then decided it didn't want to publish it. :bang:

Needless to say I gave up on editing it all again and no one got the final instalment of my GID keyring video set :palm:

Talking over videos. I just never liked the sound of my voice recorded. I always go with the written notes :)

Fully understood yours though, very smooth transitions throughout too :thumbup:

£20 for a little arc unit!! Some things are just too good to miss!

Promised myself a MIG welder when I get my house sold.

Looking forward to seeing what this does. Not going to research it. I'll wait for you to show me :D

Ralph.
