Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2008Video: The Sidney Lanier Bridge
New video from necromancer Films: US17 crossing the Sidney Lanier Bridge in Glynn County, GA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32nCpV5pCiE I got the tripod working for this film and I also acquired a black towel for the dash - though I should have covered the defroster vent also (!). Also had an issue with lateral stability of the tripod-camera assembly when I made the turn from US17 to the Jekyll Island Causeway (nothing that a little duct tape couldn't cure). I shot about an hour total driving time on this Sunday Drive, so I'll have some more videos comming in the next few days. Enjoy.

Good quality video, and nice soundtrack for a relaxing drive. My only recommendation would be to use a color other than red for the titles - many video codecs store red information at a lower resolution that the green & blue components. I don't know whether this is the codec YouTube uses, or the format your video was compressed in when uploaded there, but the titles came out a bit crunchy, and some were rather hard to read. yak Yakra: > > New video from necromancer Films: US17 crossing the Sidney Lanier Bridge > > in Glynn County, GA.

The titles have been rather problematic for me (its a limitation of WMM, I think). WHat I would like is to beable to control where the title appears in the frame (such as at the top of the frame) and also to put a background strip in a contrasting color behind the text - similar to what FreewayJim does. Guess I'll just have to keep looking for a video editor that has a little more to it than WMM...

Can't help ya with a background strip - but perhaps a few carriage returns (with a blank space if necessary) before/after your text could help you place it vertically? Or does WMM NERR atcha when you try to use such tricks? As far as other video editors go, I've used VirtualDub for a long time. It's simple & basic but easy. No native support for adding titles, but it does 3rd-party plugins; some of those may support it. http://virtualdub.org Then there's AVIDemux. Another free one. I've never used it myself, but hey, it's free, right? I have no knowledge of titles or anything else with it - just that it exists. http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ Nice job. I was down there in October, dropped wifey and the kids off at a bridal shower in SSI and did some 'bridge-hunting'. > New video from necromancer Films: US17 crossing the Sidney Lanier Bridge > in Glynn County, GA.

If you had been driving in MO instead of GA, your cam would shake like the cheerleaders at today's NFC playoff game.

The vent reflection was nothing compared to the lens flare. :) Did you happen to film the return trip? That bridge would be much easier to see with the sun behind you...

You gotta cover the whole dash with that black towel, I try to tuck it as close as I can to the glass and get it as flat as possible. Also, the text was good and informative although if possible you might want to place it near the top of the screen as it would have shown up better on top of the deep blue sky and would have been much easier to read, there is just so much going on in the middle of the screen with the road and all.

Unfortunately, that's one of the limitations of WMM (atleast the version that comes std. with windoze). I'm still trying to fond a video editor that's reasonablly priced and will work well with my system.... Signaturenecromancer Deadly Speeder.

Keep working at it, your video was better than 90% of the other highway videos I've seen on YouTube. Jim |
