I aint scared! I actually do wish that audio was available because we did have some freaking great conversations. However in some areas it was close to what Rick said.

Also I do stop talking from time to time but then someone else says something or complains that they are getting tired with no talking going on...... Then I have to make sure the talking keeps steady till we loose comms.

Even dropping comms every 10-15 mins was not bad at all. At first it was a bit annoying, but after awhile, it was just like "pause conversation"... "wait for beeping"... "resume conversation". That was far better so we could have all 5 of us on at once instead of having two separate groups.

I'm really concerned that you guys might have been "body snatched" by the Roswell Aliens. How do we KNOW you are who you say you are? Time to call MIB.

I hope the video shows what we saw riding into Roswell. There was this beam of light cutting through the clouds in a pretty narrow focus shining down directly on Roswell. That was definitely cool.

Maybe there is a need for a group video editing class...I'm doing the same. I've done a lot of video, but this is my first time to record is HD and post to the web, it does present some challenges, especially time.

Download the Cineform Studio software from the gopro site. I know nothing about video editing, but that made it about as quick and easy as can be.

While it is pretty decent software and can do quite a bit easily, the key tool missing that I wanted was image stabilization. Cutting and splicing was not quite as straight forward as I would of liked either but then again I didn't play with it too long before going a different route. I do like the easy to use image/color corrections. Turning up the sharpness and adjusting the color really makes the videos pop.

How long (no more than 5-10 minutes) do you want each video to be?

5 to 10 min. You're giving our members an awful lot of credit for maintaining their attention span. Better shoot for 30 second vids. :)
