@VideoBlanket The jello effect in this video is from the poor stabilizing software built into iMovie. I've since upgraded to Adobe Premiere Pro and the Mercalli stabilizing plug-in. As you can see in my "Airventure 2010" video, it works much better. The best thing you can do is take a lot of video and edit in your best quality clips together. The less post-production the better. Work on using your arms as 'suspension' for the camera to minimize bumps in the plane.
@VideoBlanket After Effect's built in point tracking stabilization works excellent, however it is almost entirely manual. Trying to manually track even a minute long clip is extremely time consuming (hours and hours).
@Buckcityremix not really, only the audio feed from the headset is recorded, so its not getting the ambient noise in the aircraft since the headset is activated when the pilot/co-pilot speaks.
I'm getting ready to fly this coming weekend in a PT-17 and was planning on taking my HV20... would you mind sharing your camera settings? 60i? What frame rate?
Any input would be really cool... and this video (augmented by the audio) is a real inspiration for those of us considering learning to actually fly. Flight sims are cool, but the real thing has got to be immensely intense! (But oh so expensive!!)
@VideoBlanket Thanks for the complements. I use 60i when filming anything with planes. The highest frame rate you can get is best. I leave shutter speed on auto. I usually use the "vivid" color preset, however I have recently found that the "Cine" color preset reduces blown out whites (don't use the cinema frame rate). I'd recommend going outside and taking a test shot of something that is extremely contrasty (very dark areas and very light areas) and trying both settings and then compare.
good job!!!

BTW... have you found a way around the "jello" effect?
Will After Effects help to minimize that?

@VideoBlanket thats from using bad video software, Imovie is most known for it. i recommend Final Cut Pro, or if your a PC guy, Adobe Premier.
