Great videos! May I ask, how do you keep the quality so good after uploading?

[testdasi]

Thank you! I really don't know the answer. I used a Sony Standard Definition (SD) camera (DCR-DVD608E) to take the vid. I think the resolution is 704x480. I produced the vids with imovie and then upload them to youtube. After a while, there is a "high quality" vid.

I am switching to an HD camera so I'm trying out Final Cut Express. Hope it will work with Youtube new HD capability.

Awesome videos. You have got some great stuff. How do you do the time lapse videos? I'll be looking forward to seeing more of you stuff. Keep up the good work.

[testdasi]

Thank you! You can always subscribe to my Youtube channel for the latest and fastest updates.

My molting vids are not really time lapse. They are long vids that I speed up (10X, I believe).

[biomarine2000]

what program are you using to speed the videos up?

[testdasi]

For my old SD vids, I used iMovie 6 HD. That applies to the molt movies that I currently have.

Currently (for the HD vids), I'll be using Corel Visual Studio X2 Pro because it is the only video editor I know that can smart render the HD vids from my Sony HDR-SR11.

I think Cyberlink Power Director can speed up the video up to 10X as well.

A very clear vid of my Ceratogyrus darlingi webbing. This is direct, NOT through the enclosure wall so more detail is recorded. You can even see some strands of web reflecting light.
