Excellent video... loved the way you pulled in very appropriate shots in sync with the words to the music (e.g. hands held high). Loved the opening graphics (what did you do that with?)

So is this a tribute to a friend who is "no longer with us"? Or did you create this for someone else (just interested I guess to understand the circumstances a little that led to you create this video) Which is flippin brilliant if you ask me. Well done.

At first I thought... Hey... what's with the "created uisng Mac" thing doing on the bottom of the page and then I realized it was a web site hosted on the MAC.com site... doh :-)

I have to say it was done with Live Type on a Mac..... I love that program. I can't stand FCP as an editor.

Billy just left on a 6 Month long Hike on the Appalachian Trail.. just a good hiking buddy and friend from High School doing the ultimate hike... I'm going down to GA to meet up with him and hike some of the Trail on April 8th.

I have a Mac as well as a PC ... I wanted to learn Final Cut for Work.... but as I said...I love Vegas. I just use the Mac. com account to post pics and stuff .. its good for that.

Thanks for the kind words

Chris

Sorry Chris - tried to download, was told to first download a quicktime update, followed the link and got fed up with being sent round in a loop when trying to download - I hate Apple!

Any chance of a WM9 clip?

Uh jeez WM9 as well... I dont think I have a way of posting it....

I'll figger something out.... but Quictime should be a sinch to get working on yer system..

It should be easy, and I have Quicktime installed - trying to play your clip brought up a message about an update being needed - but after filling in details & clicking download, I kept being being sent back to the screen I had already entered my details in - I gave up!

Thanks HappyFriar - finally got to see it (Reinstalled QT6)

Well done Chris - some great shots - well put together.

(I assume the final shot isn't an eagle eating your friend ;)
