Here's is our Sand Truck video we made. It's our second attempt at video editing so it's not perfect but we're working on it. We know it's a little blurry and the video is a small screen, but we're just trying to figure things out still.
We want to thank jhitesma for all of his advice on which computer and all the neccessary extras that we needed to have.
It's a royal pain in the ass. It took us 15 hours just to do this little video!
We plan on redoing everything again with a firewire cable. We could only use our USB this time around.
So for now.......Here it is......Enjoy!
Sand truck test video
Full Version: Sand Truck Video
I got "network error"
I can see it just fine, do you have db.com accnt?
^^^^ same with me, you need a db.com account
I just checked it. It worked for me. The error might be on your side. You have to register on dunebuggy.com to view it.
yes. it opens the media player, tries to download and comes up with "network error". Probably my computer
NIce truck, thanks for posting. Does it DUNE? 
They dune good, DIRTROADER has plenty of other footage in the editing works.
is it a sand truck or a drive in a staight line through whoops truck...
no offense, badd A$$ truck...
but how about a pic of it coming over a razor back or a pic of it running a big bowl, the wall? olds?
how about coming up over a ridge into an unforseen witches eye, and having to power through it...
or transitions coming down or going up steep faces?
A cool shot would be a video with a line of buggies..
How about the big bowl half way between olds and the wall (straight out from wash 17)???
or bottoming out with sand coming up over the front hood....
I think most videos are too set-up and don't show what I want to see...I want to see a car/truck pushed to it's limits in real driving situations....

would have been nice to see these things in the dunes instead of 5 min of straight line whoop running.
Pretty cool video 
It will be nice to see some of the duning footage.

I agree, but we all know nobody wants to stop in the middle of a dune ride to get out and shoot a couple minutes of footage. You would have to do that many times to get a feel for the different terrain. I noticed that most videos are of the drags, hills, jumping, etc. unless they are onboard cameras.
Like I said before. I am still learning how to edit video.I have that kind of footage. I just dont know how to do it yet, I am working on it. I am using real basic editing software and cant get all that fancy. It is was it is. Like I said before, that took 15 hours to make. Rediculous amount of time. I would have rather rebuilt a carburator while being blindfolded with one arm tied behind my back and with a huge hangover. That wouild have been more fun then doing this video. They will get better, I promise.
Does anyone have any advice on how to make the video screen bigger and not blurry while viewing it.
Thanks

I think the video was messing up. It seams like the middle section kept repeating over, and over, and over, and over again. The begining and end were cool, sweet truck, I like the front end float over the hill...........

That's OK but I would have prefered seeing a pic of the truck making more of a right hand turn while in the dunes
Are you using a Mac or Pc to edit on and what software are you using to edit with? I edit, composite, etc. alot at work and could maybe give some insight.

We are using a dell e 510 with nero vision express 2 software ( the cheap stuff - $100 ). It is real basic software . You cannot clip video out and insert somewhere else. You can pretty much trim parts out in the order that they are on the video tape. When you are creating chapters, you can move the chapters around but not individual clips. Our software is not that fancy. What do you recommend about the small screen and the blurry video? On our computer we can watch it on a big screen , but when we try to upload it to other sites we have to make it smaller ( compress the video ) to send it. What do we do so it can be viewed on a bigger screen?
Thanks for the help.

You’d be surprised how easily, quickly, and effectively you can edit a video using Windows Movie Maker. Easy to use and free, its part of windows.
No wonder you've had no probems with the chain steering, it only goes in a straight line.
Just busting your balls, nice trucks, can't wait to see more footage in the dunes.

Yah , we have that on the computer. We will try that next. This was a test video to see if we could do it. We can, we just need to fine tune it now. So when I have another spare 15 hours I will make another video.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

Without getting all technical.......How much RAM does the Dell have?......Lots of Ram and a faster processor, min 3 Gig would help the editing time.
I'm not familiar with the software you are using.....I use Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro. Once you have the clip edit'd the way you like it. You should have different output and compression settings for the final export. Blurry video is probably from compression settings and screen size can be adjusted at time of export. Larger screen sizes and less compression means your final video will look nice but the file size will be HUGE! Try different compressions and output sizes to see which works best. Also, unless your software can adjust for it, remember the quality of you final video will only be as good as the original source video.
Sorry for the long post....help it helps. email me if you have more questions.
Thanks,

Couldn't make out the words but did it say 60 over the woops or what. I clocked a DD car while I was driving to vender row next to sand hwy at over 80 on gps speedo in my truck. I was next to him from just past Gecko to Osborne. If it was only 60 doesn't seem to impressive to me. If it was faster than that I retract my statement. 
Whats the difference between 60mph and 80mph? Whoops are whoops. We had plenty of throttle to go.
Oh yeah, and why were you driving 80mph on the highway anyway?

Thanks for the info. We might just take you up on the offer and e mail you with some questions. For now , I cant try to make another video for at least a month or so. The reason it took us so long to make is not because of the computer, it is because we dont know what we are doing.
We had to figure things out. We bought this computer just for video editing. It has plenty of speed and memory and etc. Thanks
A MONTH OR SO?????????? You better get get some editing done before that.

It does say 60 mph, thats not as fast as it can go though. Its not like we had all the room in the world. As you can see we were approaching camps and didnt want to jeopardize anyones safety. I guess you just cant please all the people all the time. How fast can your rail go over the same whoops?
Lol, tough crowd in here. By the way, those trucks are bad to the bone!!!!
Cool.........email me whatever questions you have. I had a side biz for a while, editing and compositing video. I've been thinking of starting it up again for fun. If there was enough interest on here it might be worth it.

I have almost x ray vision after laser surgery..so i was able to make out a few letters and I could remember the info you gave in the first post.
My questions is how to you edit a video and make it blurry??
Cuase you are really good at doing that. 
Sweet trucks!
Looking at the video from a cenimatic point of view, I think they captured the nuances of whoops and speed. The filmmaker and director worked well together and the driver transposed the thrill of the ride directly to the viewer.
I think the sequel, Bad A$$ Trucks in the Dunes will be a block buster and will thrill the audience with incredible sound, picture and that I can almost feel the sand in my face kind of experience.
I looked at those trucks at the SSSS, sure would love a ride in one. Maybe one of you would like to offer a ride before the grand premier of the sequel.
Ok I'll stop, very cool video, had no idea it took that much time to edit. My hats off to you
