Nice video Troy...

Nice video Troy, cool music, (I'm a APP fan)


That looked like about a 1967 or 68 Dino GT?

I did a complete wet-sand, cut and buff on a red one that looks just like that, the one I worked on was a 1976. I have the pictures somewhere and in one of them you can see the floor is completely read all the way around the car from all the read paint that came off during the sanding and compounding process. Kind of a cool shot and I'm sure you guys that have buffed out single stage paint cars know what I'm talking about, that is the outline you leave around the car in the color of the car, (and the polish residue that lands on the floor)

That song always reminds me of the Bulls when Jordan played. (Back when basketball was fun to watch)

That sounds right. He told me the year when I first did the car but I can't remember.

This car was repainted with clearcoat. I sanded the whole rear half of the car when I first detailed it. Whoever painted it left a lot of paint correction for me but only the back half was bad enough for sanding.

I lost a lot of my before and after pictures because I didn't back them up and my computer crashed. I had some good ones of this car too.

This car is going in the annual Ferrari show this weekend on St. Armands Circle here in Sarasota. (Fourth year I have done it for the show)

If you're used to Final Cut on a Mac, I would look for a copy of Adobe Premiere for Windows.

Nice job, Troy!

Hey, this is from a guy who can't even spell HTML, but here are a few observations...

- My PC is usually pretty quick, but I had delays during your video... called caching? I have no idea if that is within your control.

- When I try to zoom in on the two Dino pics, the video window blocks the view. Couldn't figure out how to minimize or move the video.

I love the site! Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone.

The video probably needs to be compressed more. If I do it, it degrades it too much though. I have FIOS and a pretty fast computer so I don't see problems like that when I'm working on it.

I'm aware of the enlarged pics falling behind the video but I can't figure out how to fix that yet. I might have to replace the pics with a story about the car or something. Maybe I will have the enlargements open in a new window
for those two pics. I like the enlargement feature on all the other pics.

I just downloaded a trial version of the Adobe Premiere Shiny Lil Dtlr mentioned. Looking forward to playing with that.
