Working with CS3 is a constant learning experience. It's almost too powerful and the tools can be overwhelming sometimes. Best thing to is dive in and experiment.

Here all this time and talk of CS3, I thought it was photo only software. Adobe should do a mini vid of what it can do.
This is very nice video you did here. Plus taking camera out in the elements must be a challenge to keep it dry.
I'll keep looking for more. :)

Thanks!
CS3 is comprised of a huge suite of products. I have CS3 Production Premium which is geared toward video. There are others for graphics, Web and more.
I held an umbrella in one hand and ran the camera with the other. No problem.
The next video will be of a local snow sculpture contest which should be up by the weekend. That was shot with my XH A1. It has a raincoat. It can go almost anywhere.

Great, and XHA1 looks like a My next unit.
I discovered this other software for added effects, digitaljuice.com/default.asp
I'm trying to gather highend gear and mounts for club motorcycle tours with smoooth as the quest. Not easy with big V-Twins from last attempt.

hi

I have the exact same setup but I'm having a problem getting a result even close to your great product. Could you tell a bit about the workflow and export settings in detail, please.

Thanks

Morten,

First thing is to get the best images thru the lens as possible. I experimented with some different settings while I was shooting and used the shots that looked best. The only thing I did in post was color correction. This is key. Using the "Fast Color Corrector", I checked the white balance then made the whites white and blacks black. That gives you the dynamic full range of the image. Tweak the gamma a little to bring out the details in the shadows. Finally, I pumped the saturation. I think the average was 120%, but some shots were more.

Color correction is a huge subject and I'm still learning it. I bought a couple of books on the subject and they've helped me a lot.

Hope that helps.

Wow, that was incredibly beautiful! Well done. C:
