My first video edited in Final Cut Pro 7! There is a small learning curve, but after a couple hours of poking around I got the hang of it. Very sweet editing platform… I liiiiiike! Though I’m not a videographer or editor, I can say the software seems quite robust.

This is a test video of my friend Aric and I driving from the top of Runyon Canyon (Solar Dr.) down through Nichols Canyon, Sunset Blvd. and down to Melrose Ave. Shot on Nikon D90 mounted to Camtrol, which I simply stuck out the car’s sunroof like a periscope.

The D90 doesn’t offer stabilizing features for video like most HD camcorders, and the roads in Los Angeles are horrible (darn bankrupt state), but I think the video quality is still pretty good. Prior to having the Camtrol mount, my in-car videos were horrible with the D90, but there is hope. I believe!
