Hello what do you use for editing?

[BritainsRailways]

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

Excellent video 5* However, the colour balance is extraordinary; is this a deliberate choice?

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes and no, we fiddle the contrast, shadow, highlight, saturation and hue to varying degrees depending on how well the shot turned out. In well lit shots it's not so much, in dark shots or shots that look "wrong", more so (I do the editing). I think that having it more "dream-like" and larger than life is a unique presentation style we all wanted though, rather than just right out of the cameras and onto YouTube. We wanted every moment to look special, a mini movie.

To follow on from that though (character limit) - it's all fly by wire and a learning curve when it comes to post production. I've never edited in HD before I started doing these and we all never used HD cameras before we decided to start doing railway videos as a weekend hobby, so it's probably wrong half the time I grant you. =P
