Hi Will,

For a first project you have put together a very good video, I notice that some of the text is blurred, was that deliberate or a fault in PDR8. You must have captured the video of the game from your TV as it is 4:3 aspect ratio, it would have looked much better using 16:9 aspect. you are getting a good understanding of what PRR8 is capable of and you will only improve with each subsequent video.

Nice production Will.
I think the pixelation of the captured footage can be improved by experimenting with and knowing the different settings, and Robert is right about going with 16:9. But for a first outing with PD, Good Job!

Hi Will

An excellent first production. Great use of the Six Million Dollar Man sound effects.

Hey Guys the text wasn't 'blurred' it was a video!

Good Will Hunting!! Happing editing
