Ok so here's my first video on vimeo, first time with the HG10, first time making a video with vegas pro 8, first time using this computer I just built with 64 bit Vista... So needless to say this is an awesome day for me!!! One of the biggest influences for this whole amazing ordeal is PIXEL VIKING. Seeing what he's been able to do with his HG10 as inspired me to purchase one and start this journey.

Please comment with suggestions or ideas. Bare with me as I’ve never used any video editing software other than movie maker. Also never used any type of camcorder other than the video function from the small point and shoots.

I rendered the video using one of the templates in the program. WMV 9 file type with 8Mbps HD 1080p-30p video. Seems to be okay. I wasn’t sure if doing it in 1080p would pass the 500MB vimeo limit but seems like it was only 120MBs for a 2min vid. I will probably get vimeo plus as I start making better vids to get the better resolution. I also wasn’t sure what they meant with vimeo plus gives you better res vids. Please let me know what’s worth it and what’s not with vimeo and also the settings on Vegas or the Cam. Please…

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY FIRST VIDEO!!!

(I know this is not some top end uber box... but at least it's fast enough to handle rendering more than twice as fast as my other box would've. I just got CS4 also so trying to see what would be better for me Premier or Vegas. Just upgraded ram to 8GBs!!!)
