30. It's a digital camera, not a proper video camera.

I'm torn between the two at the moment - so I'll have to try and beat them both!!!111one!!

I'll see what I can do, but I've only really got HEAL for the job, so I can't wreak the same scale of destruction as the other two have so far, but I may have got the edge on velocity. But my bore size need not work against me completely...

My WMM screws up every time I try and do something.

Did you have to buy it or can you download it for free legally?


And your video made me laugh for some reason.. in a good way.

Yeah, mine's was made with WMM, which may explain its overall level of half-assedness. I really do need to get a better camera, and a better editing program...

Same here, WMM has been good but it has it limitations. Would be nice to get a high speed camera.

Great entries guys.

I've added links to each entry in the first post. I'll try to keep that section updated as more entries are submitted.

I didn't buy it and it wasn't legal, let's just say that.

You may be able to download a trial and crack it, but I just got 'hold off' the full copy using not so legal methods.

WMM is good for small things, a lot quicker to boot up, pretty self explanatory and does the basics. Vegas looks confusing the first time you see it.


Wait why do you guys say I have good editing skills? I could've made that on WMM except for the glowing font stuff, and I just watched it again and noticed shotty timing with the music and the video was all over the place.

It was all over the place to you, you made it. Looked normal and sounded good. Windows Movie Maker wont back up the clip will it? I mean like in MrCrowley's video??? But does have good choices with font and font effects. WMM gives me trouble with music, saying I don't have the licenses to do that, something to that effect. It was allowing me to use anything from my libary, but then I started getting that message. There needs to be a "how to" on this stuff.

You mean reverse the video? Like I said I took 30+ still frames, added them in as pictures one by one, manually edited the time length of each frame, then I manually put them in again in reverse order so it rewinds the clip.

I did this for quality sake, not because I didn't know how to reverse a clip. I made three back ups of the 60 frame video(30 frames in normal, 30 in reverse). I had a half speed, twice speed, and normal speed.

Took awhile, but it came out good.

I'm entering my Tennis Ball Launcher firing an Oasis bottle at 90psi and blasting it's way through 1" of plywood. It was this, or an Oasis bottle completely disintegrating after smashing into a tree at 90psi.
