The reverb works OK for me. Sounds like a good enough attempt at sounding like a PA system. The biggest problem for me was the wobbly pan. I would have at least deshaken it.

Everyone , I agree the jerky pan sucks.... it's all I had though. I didn't shoot it, I wish I would have. I'm not sure what it was shot with I personally own a Sony HXR-NX5U, that probably would have done a better job.

Again, thank you for all the advice....

I must be blind, but I can not find any reference to deshaking for Vegas Pro 10.... ? Is this a free plugin? Every reference I see on google is mentioning a plugin.

Stabilizer is located in Tools, Video, Stabilize Media.

Here's a good tutorial from Creative Cow. You'll have to sit thru an annoying commercial at the beginning tho. (;

Overall I like it. It has enough energy to keep your attention, but not so much that the message gets lost.

The only thing that jumps out at me is textural content outside of Safe Title. I'm old school (NTSC broadcast TV) so I'm always watching out for this, but nowadays lack of safe title might not be a big concern.

Although, anytime I see text "crowding the edges" I get a sense that some viewers won't get the entire message. Of course, if it is only meant for digital playback (ie. Internet streaming) then it isn't an issue -- but if for broadcast, then you might consider using the safe title overlays that Vegas provides in the preview window ;-)
