Anymore and it looks stupid. I had to use the (bad!) Windows Movie Maker to add the end texts.. for technical saving reasons. Have you had a lot of entries so far? I don't have it for SVP, I have it for Adobe Premier Pro. I think NewBlue is better with Adobe Premier Pro actually, although Sony Vegas I love. You should really get the Professional, it's great. Platinum is good, and by the video trailers I've seen you're really good at it. They enjoyed it, so I would also assume they will love ICE SHOCK as well! The first book reminded me of something like a cross between Indiana Jones and Alex Rider (by Anthony Hororwitz, who I love). I'm putting the video onto YouTube as we speak. The music should be alright, it's got no lyrics; just sound and it's not copyrighted as far as I can tell! Well, MG, I’ve managed to get it to 29.00seconds EXACTLY. Anymore and it looks stupid.

We've had at least one entry far longer and I'm not going to be all that fussy about a few seconds over. Do you have the NewBlue plugins for SVP? Actually I only have the Platinum version (lucky you having Pro!) Thank you so much for getting your pals to read Joshua! Hope you'll enjoy ICE SHOCK as much.

It's 33seconds long at the moment; I gotter shorten it. I've used pictures of (snowy) mountains since the sample had skiing (I love skiing!). It's also got images of Mayan Pyramids. Ever since I saw you at the Edinburgh Book Festival I've been quite a big fan. I also asked my friends to buy it and they did- and they enjoyed it, I've also been quite fascinated with Mayan Technology and Civilisations, it's highly interesting and appeals to me. I love Sony Vegas Pro, I've also used Adobe After Effects for some of the things I can't do with SVP. There's just images, no movies but they flip about so that's cool! XD :) Well, I’m just trying to cut it a little short. It’s 33seconds long at the moment; I gotter shorten it. I’ve used pictures of (snowy) mountains since the sample had skiing (I love skiing!).

I might just enter the competition, I use Sony Vegas Pro and (if you excuse the vanity) I'm quite good with it. I am going to check the Contest page right now. I heard about it through a mail I got from you on YouTube. Personally I think that it will be great.
