Thanks Was a pain to edit as I am just learning the PIP (pic in pic) stuff and I have a nice enough software now that the options are confusing LOL but is finally up. I’d love to go to a weekly edition.

Looks good, Robyn.
As far as the PiP, if you know you’re planning a shot where you’re going to use those shots in the corner of the screen, when you film yourself, make sure you’re in on the side of the shot instead of the middle, like your shoulder could be all the way on the edge of the screen. That way, you can make the PiP larger. Also, fading the corner shots in and out in 15-frame dissolves looks a lot nicer than popping them on. It’s easy to do with Premiere.
For the HALO section, you could have scaled the video larger so that it fit the entire screen before compressing it. Since you’re going to such a small frame size anyway, zooming it out and making it smaller would look ok.
Also, everything was perfectly smooth, except for your tomb raider footage. It was going about 5 frames per second, and the whole rest of your video looked fluid and smooth.
Good Luck!

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having problems trying to replay the video once it’s finished playing the first time.

Bill, I very much appreciate your help. I’ll take your suggestions to heart. I really just got Premiere last week so I’m absolutely clueless. Windows Movie Maker was alot easier. I didn’t realize the Tomb Raider issue. I’ll try to monitor those frame rates better next time.
Swifty, it replays for me, but if it’s messing up for you I want to find out what’s going on. I’ll see what I can find out.
[…] There literally is no barrier to playing now. As a marketing hack I always get excited when I see advertising used in creative and relatively new ways, but the cheap geek in me has always dreamed of a day when all games will cease to be $60 a pop and will be liberally sprinkled with ads and in-game placement ala most movies. Has that day finally come? Well, not really, but still I can go and play Metal Slug and Joust, and soon Laura Croft: Anniversary. […]
