Yeah, it doesn't show up in the preview, when you embed from vimeo.

SF is beautiful.  You know I've been in hightech for 20+ years, and never found my way to California.  One of these days.

I lived in San Fran from 06 to 09, you're making me want to go back again. Great vid

Nice video.

How is your video rendered?

Which software and what settings?

Cheers.

Using Final Cut Pro X for the editing and then rendering out in Compressor.  Just picked the HD 720p settings preset from Compressor and then up to Vimeo.

Nice! I always assumed Crissy would be too windy, but it looks like you caught it during a perfect calm morning.

I've been flying at the huge open fields at Candlestick over the water.

very cool. yeah, I've found that the secret to Crissy field is to go early in the morning around dawn.  This happened to be a weird, VERY calm afternoon.  Those days don't happen that often :)
