The snowboard scenes *were* shot with a fluid tripod. They are as steady as it's possible, as the camera was all the way zoomed in (I was very far from the terrain).

As for the music, your complaints at the Creative Commons board please. There are only 60 albums to choose that are under the CC-BY license (the only Creative Commons license that allows A/V syncing without restrictions). I know that other videographers are using whatever music they feel like it to, but that's not exactly legal, so I avoid it.

Actually, most tracks there are CC-BY-NC, not CC-BY. The real problem is the fact that the site does not let you search by license like Jamendo does (at least haven't found a way to do so). In order to find a CC-BY track, you have to literally go through all of them. I don't have time to go through thousands of songs just to find a CC-BY one.

Thanks, this was helpful. However, are all the samples/remixes on CCMixter original work, or at least, remixes of CC music? You see, the last thing I want is to use a remix/sample that was licensed on CCMixter under the CC-BY, only to find out that the original song that the mix was based on was a commercial RIAA-owned song... I gotta be careful you see.

You use "pan/crop" from the right click scene menu. For the credits you use one of the standard vegas credit rolls.

There's a "replace video" option in the settings.
