Got some video

It was from 1 Aug 2009. It's taken from the grandstand and doesn't show much of the launch, at least nothing close, but at least it is video.

The density altitude on this run was 5800 feet and the track was slick.
RT - .171 (we were using a .400 pro tree and I was trying to adjust to it)
60' - 1.388
1/4 - 9.537
MPH - 142.63

Re: Got some video

Finally got around to doing some video editing. 2 different videos shot on Aug 29. I found I had an in car video of the exact same run shot from the grandstands on that day. Still not the video shots I want but better than nothing.

Re: Got some video

Launches great for a powerglide car. Converter seems to be working well.

Re: Got some video

If you watch the link in my second thread above, you can see the inserted video by itself with the audio.

The grandstand shot wasn't the best. It was shaky at the beginning and you can still see it as the video scrolls in. By the time I'm at the end of the track, the video was useless so I scrolled it out again. Because the quality of the video wasn't all that great, using it as an insert was the best way to do it. Syncing the 2 videos took a little doing but it's close enough if not exact.

The audio wasn't bad as you could hear the cars going past but you could also hear the commentary from the people filming it. My car does sound pretty cool from the grandstands. Gotta love those race mufflers. The best part is a woman squealing just as I launch, pulling the wheels. That part I wouldn't mind using if I could.

My best video was from 3 years ago. I had a good quality miniDV camera to use. I made 4 passes in one day, all in the same lane. I shot 2 runs from inside the car at different camera angles then got 2 different people to shoot the other 2 runs. I cut and pasted the 4 videos into one run making it look like it was shot with multiple cameras. The timeline is correct. You just need to ignore the different cars beside me.

The car also looked a little different 3 years ago.

Re: Got some video

Once again, very nice job on the latest video (3 yrs ago).

I know it's been 3 years, but around 2:18-2:20 it looks like a red Malibu (?) takes you on the right lane?

Re: Got some video

T&T pass footage. You can also see a car launch in front of me when I'm in the water box and I roll up to the lights beside the same car in the ground level shot. Like I said, ignore the cars beside me. They keep changing.

This is the raw footage from all 4 of those runs
