LOL, He wore the tie all year last year at school. And when my wife goes to work, she has to wear it also..

Yes, with the 20mm. On MJPG for computer use...
This is all new to me, [Video that is], so my posts will be right out camera. With Transitions added. As I learn how to edit out sections, they may get better, or at least less boring. that's why I will keep them short.

Really charming.

Skin tones look very off though - I know it's a Panasonic

but I'm sure they can be better than that. Manual white balance?

No, AWB, Not sure if WB can be adjusted after the fact.
It is all new to me, Today, I will set it manually and see how it goes.

I am looking for [CHEAP] editor also, (read Free to about $60.00)I have Windows Live Movie Editor, but, it lacks thinks like a Time-Line, and other nice things.. I have and old copy V3.x of "ProShow Gold" But it is slow each clip on the tine line. Any suggestions would be helpful.

You can run a clip through something like virtualdub to colour correct somewhat after the event. Better to nail it before shooting though of course, before the stream is compressed. You can't do with video what you can do with a raw image, yet.

Before you buy movie software you might like to download the free trial (one month I think) of Sony's Movie Studio. The "platinum" version has been on sale here in the UK for as low as £25 ($40?) so if you like it, it shouldn't be too expensive. Adobe's Premiere Elements seems to get slated so I'd try that last!

I'm trying Sony Movie Studio Platinum now.
It has a very good layout with a somewhat easy learning curve. It only took a hour or so figure out how to do transitions, and adding "Events" was easy enough. editing a Text Event could be easier, but, doable.

It has plenty to grow into, and that's important as I get more enlightened in video production. But it seems fairly easy to use different areas.

I am uploading a You-Tube rendering also in normal rendering... 34mb vs 256mb for high Quality.. not sure how much space I have on You-Tube for uploads.

Here us the lower IQ You-Tube..... in Sony Movie Studio HD Platinum

I removed this one, since the 1st post has 2 low and 2 HD resolutions....

I've not tried colour correction in Sony s/w but have used virtualdub a fair bit. It's free and the (also free) plugin called colormill gives a lot of control. It's still like working with a jpg though so there are limits to what can be done. Here's a screen grab from your clip, before and after with colour adjusted (quickly!) to reduce the magenta hue on Nick's skin.

One of the other nice free filters is the deshaker which is handy if you've not used a stabilised lens, it smooths things right out..

Where do I find the Colormill plug-in? I checked a few links he had... but didn't seem to find it.
