Driving Green in HD

Chuck Zimmerman

Perhaps you’ve heard about YouTube allowing bigger file uploads and HD quality. Perhaps not. That’s what ZimmComm is here for.

This week I’ve been experimenting with video to provide higher quality via the online destination for video. It has not been easy but then whatever is that’s worth it? With the new John Deere Drive Green project we’re involved in I decided to upgrade my MoJo (I’ll be doing an update of this soon) with a Canon HD (AVCHD) camera. I naively thought it would be “the same” when it comes to editing, etc. Wrong. It’s a whole new learning experience which has involved mastering at least 5 new programs and hours of experimenting with exports, uploads, etc. Maybe I just need a new Flip?

So, here’s my first successful HD video clip. What do you think? And before someone comments, yes, I will use the wind filter on the mic next time.
