Well I wouldn't rush to unpack it. It's only average at what it does, and now that Jack's discovered it, I have it in the closet out out of reach!

Thanks! All my previous videos were edited with Vegas 4, but this one was done with Vegas 6. Frankly, there is nothing in this latest video that couldn't have been done in 4, but hopefully as I get better, I'll learn more about 6.

A long time ago, I tried to use Premer 6 and almost gave up editing! It truly sucks compared to Vegas. I don't know how to do composeting, so there is no "blue screen" used here.

Those are really great, Colin! Keep 'em coming!

OMG, those are hilarious!!

I remember seeing the other ones; I'm so glad you've done more! I just love seeing what Jack and Chloe (and Lost Boy!) get up to!

Colin those are brilliant! You have some incredible talent in your family!

Aloha!

Well, it's kinda my fun hobby. A few years ago the all consuming passion was racing autocross....race tires, extra rims, special suspension settings.... all pretty expensive too. At least Fran did it with me and we shared the same race car.

I was so excited when I saw you had a new video! They're both excellent as usual

They're getting so big!

Thank! I hope you're talking about the cats and not the videos!

Well, as it always seems to be the case, I've gone back and re-edited the original video. I wanted to be more of a stand alone, and if you didn't see the "Bank Robber" video, the "Framed" video wouldn't make sense. I also re-rendered the quality (now 640 pixels vs. 320) and I think it looks much better although the file size went up a bit (14 megs from 10) but to be fair it is longer with the new beginning and new credits for Lost Boy at the end.

Colin...
It's been said that, "genius is in the details."
You got this one right.

The newspaper headlines are hilarious.

Your editing...
fast & fun...my attention never strayed.

Keep 'em coming.

The funniest thing is that the only "original" footage of Jack knocking over the bank is a short 2-3 second clip! Everything else was developed to support that clip!

Earlier I mentioned autocross and racing, this little clip (50 seconds) shows what I'm talking about. (I'm actually a better driver than shown in this clip.... really)
