Our audio visual salon for 2010 closed his week. We received 70 AVs
from 44 authors. We have stunning entries from Italy, UK, Australia
and South Africa. They are already on the way to our judges.
The bravest thing you did was to enter, if you did. How many were not
brave enough? It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an

Sony Vegas 9. This was a short simple example, in our race videos we
show picture in picture front and rear views of the action.

Lots of action in your AV! Well done.
In addition to engine and tyre sound effects, you have added
background music. What software do you use to edit your videos, and
especially for merging the soundtracks?

Hi Jeff,
The pictures where taken with no style selected, not cropped but
reduced in size to make it email friendly. The video camera can go as
close as 1cm to the subject. That’s what I mean in portability from
close ups to 12x optical zoom you can do anything with claimed 12 mega
pixel resolution. The actual file size from the Sony video camera for

Is South Africa up to taking on an AV challenge (informal and

Lets see which country can do best in the IAC Geoffrey Round

your entries for the 2nd MFFC AV Salon are ready why not submit to
Geoffrey Round as well? Details are on [link] .

Video camera v DSLR

Thank you, Herbert.
Very clear and sharp pictures. It is certainly amazing what one can do
with a 'video camera'!
They seem to be re-sized/cropped 1000-750px and saved smaller than

you use any in-camera enhancements like Picture style?

Hi,
My idea is to shoot stationary subjects like landscapes with a photo camera
