[madadivad1986]

I just use an iPhone in the shirt pocket. It picks up some great audio!

[Knoptop]

@madadivad1986 yes!

[ZeroCostProductions]

@AidanManuelArroyo take a shot of the act close up, then take a shot of the act from far. Use the audio from the close shot in the final edit.

how would you capture two characters conversation when they are far away from the camera

@NaturesCycles I have never had that problem.. My version is sony vegas pro 8... The only time my files are huge is when I render then in quicktime format... Maybe try googling it.. Sorry I couldn't help.

[NaturesCycles]

@HJDtv I have been playing with Vegas for a couple of days now. The only problem I have is that for some reason, even though I have selected to make a YouTube video, the file size created is massive e.g. 24GB. Why is it doing that? I am only editing together a couple of 1 minute clips with a little bit of music. Thanks.

Bought one using your affiliate link. Thanks for the vids you do, I enjoy them and I'm usually surprised at the ideas you pull out of your sleeve.

[NaturesCycles]

@HJDtv Cheers. Funny - I had just ordered the Sony package before your response. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks friend.
