The Olympus camera was a nice piece of hardware that I enjoyed using. I actually have one much like it at home. It was very simple and efficient which is a good quality in a camera. One feature in which it differs from other cameras I’ve used is zooming in and out while recording. For the most part, however, I was able to accomplish everything I wanted to using the Olympus camera.


The video editing software that I used on my Drift 2 project was Sony Vegas Pro 8.0. Originally I wanted to use Final Cut, but the version I got wasn’t compatible with PC. I was worried that Sony wouldn’t like the Quicktime movie files, but I was relieved when it worked out. Before this software, the only editing program I had used was Windows Movie Maker, the simplicity of which is only rivaled by iMovie. Vegas Pro was a little more complicated, but once I got the feel of it I came to like it much more than Movie Maker. I will definitely use this software on future projects until Final Cut is made readily available to PC users.
