OT: Ken Calhoun Interviews Brian Tracy: V7 edited

Here's a rare interview that world-renowned author Brian Tracy granted to me recently; I used Vegas (and Ultra) to help clean up the audio/video for it, at:

Any suggestions on improving the video shot? That was basically me in front of a greenscreen, using wipes to cover jump cuts... it's ok, but gets long-winded... I should somehow use more visual variety... but the intention was just to share a heartfelt true 'success story' based on what Brian's taught me.

It was an audio teleseminar, that was the one I used the NewBlue fx plugin to clean up, I was asking about earlier on the forum, for better audio.

thanks,

Ken

Congratulations on a great catch!

Brian Tracy taught me a lot over more than 15 years, a real class act who made me a big fan.

The quickest way to add variety to that shot would be to switch out different photos of Brian on the wall behind you. That would make a big difference.

The next step up would be to add points you make as text in the video.

New subject:
Why do you keep the event header (Special Brian Tracy... Discover new strategies...) as an image instead of text? That way the search engines can't pick up those valuable keywords, and the text doesn't look as crisp and impactful.
You could get close enough with standard fonts, so no reason to worry about that.

As a first step, plug in some Alternate Text right away...

sounded like the audio was pushed too hard and it was distorting a bit. otherwise cool
