Well, being an IAD jumpmaster, it's an option for first time jumpers, at our DZ, to have video shot. I take some cheezy ground shots, their gearup, some of the plane's takeoff, their climbout and exit, my canopy ride, their landing, (if possible), and some "Woo Hoo's" afterwards. All in 6 to 10 minutes. I dump it right onto VHS with music of their choice, and, Budda Boom, Budda Bing.....they're out the door, with memories in hand and a big ole grin on their face. We don't charge much for it, but, you'd be amazed by the amount of repeat business we do 'cuz of it!! And, because I'm already there dispatching, the camera on my head really isn't a problem.

Thanks for a VERY good question, answered well. I ran into this last year with a guy who had logged 70 jumps. I feel I was lucky in the fact that he is a safety conscious jumper, and a friend, so he knew there was no malice involved. I'll keep this in mind if ever I have to jump on someone else though.

Hey, thanks guys... I've recently had "experience" with Avid, and their "dongle". So much for the Kaaza angle there. Josh, next time I see Scott B. will he remember you if I say 'hey'? Chao

Hello everyone!! Brand new user of the forums here, so bear with me if I make an ass of myself. Just curious what type of editing software you guys use, and the advantages/disadvantages of the various types. Thanks...
