Slowmotion videos of a MBX5T and a modified Protos - both brushless

[xcntrk]

Very cool video, nice work! Obviously this plugin is a professional product especially when combined with Adobe After Effects which isn’t cheap either.

So which buggy were you driving? The difference between the two drivers is pretty dramatic; as the MBX5T is super smooth while the driver of the Robitronic buggy obviously has a heavy finger.

The owner of the mbx5t drove both cars and is obviously more used to the driving behaviour of his mbx5t. The Robitronic Buggy/truggy hybrid is lighter, has a shorter wheelbase and the startup of the Jazz ESC is very sudden making it look more agressive on startup (more easely to wheelie).

The mbx5t is a very predictable and smooth handling car with stock setup. It's way easyer to drive then the Protos buggy/truggy which tends to oversteer.

I really want this plugin but unfortunatly it doesn´t work with Sony Vegas. Anyone knows about a similar plug for vegas?

bump for a nice cam job. tommorow, iLife 09 comes out for the Mac with some extremely nice features. i am holding off making my first video for RC until i get this. i have had this footage for a few weeks now of DickyT running around our local track. i managed to get some nice audio clips of differant people saying things.. so i am excited to say the least.

Thanx. Always fun to combine one hobby (rc-cars) with another one (video editing/shooting). I hope you will enjoy editing on your mac.

Wow, those are cool vids! The music is perfect! I like how you can actually faintly hear the impacts of some of the worst crashes. Nice job!

I tried watching these at work, but we only have a T1 and that is shared among ~30 other people. Much better at home.

Good Job!

What software/hardware do you use for shooting and editing your videos?

[othello]

@BrianG
Glad you like them. Yeah had to use a relative high bitrate (1mbit), still quite some detail is "compressed" away when compared to the DV output.

@B4maz
Editing: Adobe Premiere
Slowmotion Rendering: Adobe After Effects with a plugin called Twixtor
Video shooting: Canon XL1 DV cam (fairly old "lady " by now, but more than enough for web vids)

We use all this stuff at work too.

Man the quality of your vids are clear... Nice setups!

[tha5150]

Hey. Thanks! We just got married and the video camera was a gift to ourselfs with the money we got. I haven't even set it up yet. It has an easy button and that's what I used. Hope the video making gets better.

@tha5150
hmm ... link did not work for me. Something about the video not available in my country. Even when i click on worldwide or US the video does not show up. But imovie is a great tool to start with.

Samething here. Just use some web proxy (hidemyass.com) and it will show up fine. Just copy the link over there and its good to go..

[tha5150]

you guys get it working? thats sounding like a web blocker at your work.

[othello]

@Hardstyle
thanks. Worked perfectly that way. Some kind of regional block youtube obviously has installed. I wasn't aware of that.

@tha5150
Nice track and nice air ;-) Seems as if imovie works out well for you.
