It has been a while since I have posted anything here, but I have had some time to make some more videos of the boys.  This has come about as a result of my computer being fried from a black out a few weeks ago.  Small little power outage and the only thing to go is my good computer.  Waiting on pricing to repair, so in the meantime I am using my old system from 2006, about 3 upgrades ago.  It runs at 2GHz with 2Gbyte of RAM and I am using an ATI 9550 with 256Mbyte RAM video card and yet it still runs so damn slow.  Cannot play the Sims 3 on it or Total war.

Anyway, I can edit video clips, so here are a couple I did.  The first one is when the boys where in trouble for misbehaving and had not had their afternoon sleep.  The second is Liam at Nan and Granddads with his new trike he got for his birthday.

Two Very Tired Boys

Video of my boys who where in trouble and did not have their afternoon sleep. As a result, when they where made to stop, they came to a crashing halt. Surprisingly I had very little trouble when they went to bed after dinner.

Music by Walter Mazzaccaro from Alessandria, Italy. Track called "Lullaby to the World". Check out his album at Jamendo (http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/69247) Sulla strada del ritorno, especially track 5, The Storm.

I only used KDENlive this time, did not use Avidemux to convert the original image to 16:9. The Samsung MX20 films wide screen anamorphed and I need to convert to 854x480 to get the wide screen. This time I changed the pixel ratio in KDEnlive instead and I think it gave a clearer image.

Ride my Tricycle of Steel

Put some clips together of Liam riding his new trike (a Radio Flyer) at Nana and Granddads. They have a bit more space to ride there than at home.

Music sample at ending credits by NanowaR from Italy. Song is called "Tricycles of Steel" from their album "Other bands play, NanowaR gay!".

Of course, edited with Kdenlive on the Ubuntu system as usual.
