Rendering @ 1920 x 1080.


[quote="NewStuff" post=17434]is there enough coal for the boiler?[/quote]

Plenty of coal but I've had to change the fireman 3 times.


[quote="NewStuff" post=17434] Are you doing this on an old laptop or something?[/quote]

It's a 12 month old mid-range spec laptop.  I've thrown some animated maps into the video which may be slowing things down.

No, I went for the retro model

[Robin Jones]

Opted for a much shorter version as it was taking days to render in super HD.  I'll keep the full version (including the out-takes) for future blackmail / self gratification.

Enjoy:

Short version??? How long was the extended version then?

[Robin Jones]

40 odd minutes.  Odd being the operative word!

Ian,  As per your comment on youtube,

Try this but this ones is unlisted as it doesn't include the ending.  It does include a good amount of faffing about on my part though. and some long boring bits  :blink:

Just treated myself to Magix Movie Edit Pro 2013 Premium Edition & it's part of the software.  Takes ages to render in 'scroll map' mode (which is what I used) though as it grabs the data from the internet.

Gracious ... 19 mins of "getting in" and 5 mines of exploring  :side:

Yes, And even that is edited down to make me look slightly less incompetent than I actually am

Just playing with a rock fall special effect  :ohmy:

Glad that one worked for you Ian

Comedy Vikki?

I'm going to have to try and remain mute on future trips  :silly:

I didn't get that much decent footage unfortunately but I've finally got round to putting something together, whilst having a play with Sony Vegas Pro.

Nice work Tony!  Your video shows much more exploring than my crappy effort.  

I took loads of footage at last weekends trip, but deleted it all along with all the photos I took.  I ended up getting really pissed off on the trip so erased it from memory (this was no fault of Richard Timms who did an excellent job of leading) I'll probably have a break from caving for a bit.

[Tim Watts]

Ace video! Its still my favorite slate mine - hard to say why but it is!

sweetie?? - crap??!!

[Tony Salusbury]

Cheers fella's. Don't let one bad trip get ya down Rob. Get back on it and enjoy the next one sooner rather than later.
