I actually managed to finish editting Episode 9 of Gear65 already, but since there’s still three more days before it’s up (Gear65 is usually up every Thursday, though last week I was late by a day…), I decided to give you guys a sneak peak of the episode by showing you a video clip we filmed during our recording.
Be sure to check out Gear65 this Thursday!
More videos! This time, I found WiiSaber, this fun application that runs on any mac with a bluetooth, and connects to your Wii Remote, producing lightsaber sounds just like the Lightsaber Unleashed app for the iPhone. I’m still looking for one that makes the sound come out of the remote’s speakers though. If you know one, let me know!
P.S. This is the second HD video I’ve uploaded onto YouTube in 24 hours, and I realised that the HD version isn’t available this time. I’m not sure if it’s because there’s a limit to how much HD videos you can upload, or if it’s still processing the HD version.
Updated: The HD version was still processing after all. Check out the HD version above!
My dad and I upgraded his MacBook’s RAM from 2GB to 4GB last night, so I took the opportunity to play with my HD camera again. Oh, and sorry about the shakiness. This was completely ad-hoc, and the mini-tripod wasn’t suitable for this kinda recording, but I had turned the motion stabiliser off before recording, thinking that I’ll be relying on it (The shaking was me trying to adjust/remove the tripod).
Otherwise, hopefully you can see what HD video is like from the Sanyo Xacti HD1000, at 720p, 30fps.

P.S. This video is available in HD!
Ok, I’m totally on a roll now. Getting quite annoyed (thank God not agitated or pissed, just annoyed…) after discovering a big truth regarding HD video and Final Cut Express.
So as most of you know, I bought a new HD camera to film videos for Tech65. Today, I decided to give a hand at editting my first HD (720p) movie, so I imported the files from the camera into a folder on my iMac before importing it into a new Final Cut Express project after discovering before hand that “Log and Transfer” (quicktime link) doesn’t work with this camera. I was happy that I could just edit as usual with the HD files in the project, before discovering the following:
It looks quite normal doesn’t it? Just to explain what you’re looking at, the left window is the clip I would like to add into my sequence, while the right window is a preview of my sequence now. I edit by setting a start point and an end point (called in and out points) in the left window and drag it into the right so that it drops into my sequence.
I finally made up my mind to get the Sanyo Xacti HD1000 instead of the HD1010 camera, and after several days, I finally got the package. Strangely it took Warehouse123.com 4 days to verify the credit card. Apparently that’s a rare case, because most people seem to be getting theirs a lot faster than me. Once it was verified, the whole package arrived in less than a day from the moment I got my invoice.
