Fall 2011 Crabbing Videos

I was playing around with this season's crabbing footage over the past week or so and published up an 8.5 minute movie with maybe 70 different clips.  Without even using any effects or transitions the work wasn't publishing correctly on WMM (black screen for some clips upon completed published video).  I've had problems like this before and started making shorter less complex videos with less overall clips, and it's been a year or so I think since this pain in the ass problem reared its ugly head.  When 6 hours of work didn't publish up the other night I was discouraged, so I was playing more with it last night and today and found a way around the problem.  Gratifying to get through it, but I need a new editing system that doesn't get tempermental and limit my creativity - I'm open to suggestions if anyone can offer information on good video editing software that's free or cheap and easy.

Good Times on the crab grounds with my kids, Domenic, Clayman/Chris, and a cameo by DrDave and son at the end.  Thanks for coming along.   

Awesome video, what a compilation.  Some of those crabs were huge!  You are so fortunate to live where you do.  Very cool.

OK this is now on my bucket list.  Gotta do this.

Hi Eric,
That was fun to watch! (we need to raid the coast again soon ). The pics with your children are priceless...that is what life is all about! Who were those raiders at the end of the vid.

Followup vid took less hours but has almost as much content.  Good Times.
