(In Vado HD) A Christmas Night In Historic Downtown Kingsville Texas

I was out and about looking to shoot some test footage in low light and evening time with my new Creative Labs Vado HD pocket cam. Our downtown area looks extra special this time of year, so I decided to do a short shoot there. I have always been fond of peering into the shop displays downtown. The little knick knacks almost seem to have a magical quality about them. I encourage everyone in the area to come down and visit our historic downtown. I am sure that you will find someone wonderful for that special someone in your life. This footage has been edited with Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate. I added filters and soft focus effects to it, as well as transitions and lighting tweaks. If you would like to see raw footage from the Vado HD, please look at my Car Show video also posted here on Youtube. I hope you will enjoy the video. Hold your loved ones close and snuggle the night away. Enjoy!

Update(s): It looks like the lighting and brightness took a hit on the upload to youtube. Sorry about that, you have to watch in HD to even get close to what it looked like on my PC or TV. I will look into future tweaks to make up for the brightness loss. Hope you like it regardless though. :-)

The normal version of the video took even a bigger hit due to compression. The subtle details of the dark tones were lost even more. Your viewing experience could also be altered due to your PC monitor's brightness level or videocards overlay setting perhaps. Hmm, back to the drawing board ;-)

The Vado HD, by far beats all the consumer level camcorders for shooting extremely high quality video in low light situations such as this, or night club, and restaurant scenes. i bought one specifically for low light situations.

great video! At 0:25 did you make the focus or the camera?

how long does it take for you to upload your videos to youtube from the Vado HD for a certain file size? My Vado HD takes a really long time to upload to the internet. Is this normal? What do you recommend so that my upload time would be faster? Does my computer specifications matter or is it all dependent on my internet connection speed?

I'm glad I found this. Been sitting on the fence whether to buy this or not.

Your example of what this can do has certainly swayed me. Nice job.
