Great, as always. May you ever come to Portugal (Lisbon), it would be great to meet you in some kind of a trade: you teach me some of your techniques and I'll show you the best places to catch some images around (in wonderful places nearby). Meanwhile, can I ask you what settings do you use before you upload a video (bitrate, file format, etc.)? My videos' quality don't look so nice at Vimeo, despite they have wonderful quality in my computer and in my TV. And I think I've already tried everything (I use Vegas Pro 9). Thanks.
Charlie McCarthy 4 months ago

Thanks, Ricardo. I would love to go there and shoot :)
This is basically the settings I use to export a video:

eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/11/09/exporting-with-vegas-for-vimeo-hd/

I have been working on a video about the whole process I go through when creating a video. If I ever finish it I will share it with you :)
