I loved it too. Only problem...I'll have this song in my head for 2 days.

Excellent video! It did seem to me that he is really young to be in BOC, but I visited his website and read his bio and gleaned a little insight as to his recent 5 year tenure with the group.

BTW - I did notice something at the end of his video that can be an issue with multi-track projects when fading to black. If each video clip uses a ramp to dip to black then you will see the clips becoming various degrees of transparency instead of a nice clean fade to black.

To avoid this, just insert a video track at the "top" of the timeline and place a generated media clip of solid black on this track at the end of your video. Overlap the black clip the desired time span over the end of your overall video and then ramp it from transparent to fully opaque. That way, all of the clips on the tracks below this clip will fade evenly to black as expected....

Jim, another (and maybe easier) way of doing this is to insert a Video Bus Track (View - Video Bus Track or Ctrl+Shift+B), right-click in the timeline for that track and select "Insert Envelope - Fade to Color"and add two points at the end (one at 100% close to the end and another at the end at 0%).
Right-clicking on a fade point brings up the same options (Linear, Fast, Slow, etc.) that are seen in Pan/Crop.
You can add additional points if desired for a custom fade if so desired.

Thanks guys, I'll have to remember this!
