My first HV20 video from a recent trip to Key West. Most of the footage is from aboard the Key West Express cruise boat that I took back and forth from Ft. Myers.

Everything is filmed handheld with optical image stabilization enabled, in 24p and "Cine" mode. Only a UV filter is attached to the lens. Sound is via the onboard microphone. Video was captured and converted to Cineform Neo HDV format with pulldown removal via HDLink. No color correction or other image editing was done, just splicing of takes in Sony Vegas. The video was exported as MainConcept MP4.

Hey Andrew,

cool video, very good stuff! I'd love to go to KeyWest but I didn't have the time when I was in FL.

However, a few hints: Try another compression. MP4 is small but not the best for this kind of video. Try downloading ffdshow and then use H.264 as Encoder and H264 under FourCC. Modus should be "1 Pass - Quality", then try around with the Quality you like. I like to use 60% for Vimeo 'cause its small and good enough. If you want an example, check out one of my videos. :)

Keep the good work and enjoy your holidays (or memories of it!)
