Bruno,

Thanks for sharing the videos! As the new owner of a Drift HD170, I am trying to get a little smarter in the video editing department. The Drift shoots video in the .MOV format, which appears to only run on my PC in Quicktime (of which I only have the free version, not QT Pro).

Windows Media Player doesn't appear to want to have anything to do with it nor does Windows Movie Maker.

Does the Adobe program you use "talk" this format, is it easy to use and intuitive and is it expensive? Any good alternatives for video editing besides this?

Regards and TIA,

ps-here's a short (3 minutes) clip I shot using the Drift while flying on John Murray's (LX) tail at CCSC's XC camp last month:

Rob,
Great video. It was fun to watch you and LX under the clouds. I am
sorry but I am a novice when it comes to editing and knowing different
video file formats. I just kept trying different settings until one
seemed to work ok and I have stuck with it. Notice on my videos that
they have very simple transitions, no music overlay (which takes
effort and skills I don't have), and simple text every once in a while
when needed. Many will find this lack of editing boring but for me it
allows me to film, edit and release the videos with the least amount
of time spent. Unfortunately, the editing time still is way too much
(2-5 hours is often taken per video edit/rendering - yuck!) but I
enjoy it so much it is worth the drudgery of editing. It really is a
trade off of doing amazing video with fantastic editing and never
releasing anything or doing it simple like I currently do and actually
get videos released.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Fly safe and keep shooting!
