not bad, but when your editing look at the clips and try to just use the important parts of them. i saw in a couple shots there was a bit of unnecessary time of riding up to a feature and ridin away.nice job though!

nice edit man! i did enjoy it.

-trim your clips more. we don't need to see so much ride up/ride away
-showing multiple people hitting the same feature is usually sloppy and is really hard to do well. avoid it.
-only use the REALLY good shots. if a shot is questionable (too far away, shaky, sketchy, etc.) cut it. short and sweet is always better than long and iffy.
-work on color grading a little bit to bring the best out of those gloomy days.
-if you're shooting with an HD camera, make sure your project is HD and make sure you're exporting in HD.

I already used that song :(


You really want to match the rendering frame size/ project frame size to the size of your footage. Like Will was saying, that will eliminate that nasty letterbox.

And I do that by doing what?

( How do I use the same frame sizes?) By filming in the same size or what
