Assignment 2 In Progress 5
I have further polished my my commentary by editing the duration of pauses between different points. I have also tired decide the duration of each scene.

I have tried finding several songs/musics. There are nice one, but I can see to see how it can fit into my video. It seems that the music is detached from the video. This is not a good thing to have in this assignment. Therefore I have a suggestions for anyone who have not touch this assignment do the sequence....

Format: Windows Media
Preset: NTCS Source to High Quality Download

Format:Windows Media
Preset:HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
File size: 36.9MB

I tried some other export format. Currently, the one that give decent video output are....

Format: Microsoft AVI
Preset: NTSC DV
File size: 639MB

Format: QuickTime
Preset: NTSC DV
File size: 766MB
