California Trip | May 2017 | Part 1

Hey, everyone!

Here's our trip to California from back in May 2017. We hope to go back there again this coming May but there may be some important items which may cancel the trip. We'll see.

Part 1 is the actual trip. I was able to reduce and edit the video from about 12 hours down to about 15 minutes. These dash cam files have been sitting on the laptop hard drive for a while...

Part 2 and possible future videos will also be dash cam footage with the possible addition of pictures of the trip.

This is also the first time editing a video on the used Dell Latitude workstation laptop. The laptop is a handful of years old but it's still going strong (especially with the addition of an SSD as the primary drive). Editing was done in Sony Vegas 13. Overall the experience was great. Everything went smoothly aside from Vegas crashing just one time. It did take about half hour to render the video. No real effects or filters were applied. It was basically the raw video with some titles appearing on screen from time to time. I may take the laptop apart to clean it out and re-apply the thermal compound on the CPU and GPU.

If you made it this far down then thank you! As for the video it was shot with the SJCAM SJ4000 action camera.
