STS-127 Landing, 7/31/09

Here was the landing of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, mission STS-127 on July 31st, 2009 at the Cape. As always, I superimposed a clock on the lower right so you can cue up to the landing.

I did have a couple of blips with the cable reception that morning..

How did yo make the clock?

[dablommer]

Here's how you do it: using a video editor like Sony Vegas or Pinnacle, put a descending clock on a light green screen. Then what you do is on the good video editors, there's a part called a "chroma key" that removes the green, leaving the white number. Television has been doing it for years...

Truly spectacular-thanks for posting it. That's what I totally missed yesterday. I could have done without the landing clock but great job!

Actually, I'm thinking of doing future launches and landings clockless. I did it for the past 3 launches and landings because no one else was doing that, but it does take some time to do, and that time could go in to putting up the video faster. Thanks for the comments!
