just joined your monthly package. i would love to know your current actual encoding set up process for your most recent videos using the canon hf s10 to web. i just got the hf s10 and love it. however, i am having a hard time getting a good h.264 encode that does not show motion blur when i am moving my hands vigorously. if i am static there is no problem, but if my hands are in motion it shows “double hands” like a stromotion trail. i shot at 30p and shutter speeds at 1/100, 1/250, and 1/500 and encoded with adobe media encoder trying many h.264 options such as hd youtube wide screen. Then took .avi to squeeze 5 and still no love. Could you advise as to how you produce your s10 videos with such clarity? could not find the exact specs on your site. Might have missed it some how. would love to know what codec to use and bitrate to encode at. Keep up the great work. We appreciate it!

Just one question – your videos are HD, how on earth do you get them to load so incredibly fast?

Is it a combo of your server, plus compression? Are they .flv files?

I’m at the bottom of Australia – and even though I have the fastest cable internet available, your videos load just as fast as if the server was down the road!

All the best, Dave

p.s. am picking up a canon HFS11 next week… yeah!

Thanks for the great tip. We are about to launch our new travel/adventure site “The Roaming Boomers”, and we will be shooting a lot of video with a stationary setting.

This is a great tip to bring interest.

Thanks!

I appreciate all the tips. I, too, just bought a mac with Final Cut Express (it’s a desktop workstation)

Is there a particular plugin that will do these zoom effects with iMovie or Final Cut Express you can recommend?

Thanks again,

And the video above was shot on an overcast day with no additional tools used, just the available natural light.

I am transitioning, starting today, from PCs and Sony Vegas software to a Mac after being fed up with numerous repairs thanks to the inefficiencies in Microsoft’s operating system. I just bought the new IMAC 21.5. I hope it is powerful enough. Seems fast.

I wonder if Final Cut Pro will give me all the flexibility that Sony Vegas has built in to it because your videos actually have more ‘zing’ to them then the other courses out there that are using Mac editing software.
