Video of Punta Arenas Experiment

Today I have been experimenting with videos I have taken on our trips through Chile, with youtube and also with our South America website. The result after some frustration, is not a mess but the following short clip of a panoramic view of Punta Arenas.




So you think, is that it? Well, I must say that I'm not at all a computer whiz. Everything I have learnt about making websites and playing around with them, I have learnt myself from scratch and experimenting. I'm totally self-taught, if that really still exists nowadays with the advent of (and great help of) the internet, so this is of great satisfaction for me, even if its something obvious and easy to do for others.

The hardest part of the entire process was not actually uploading the video (even I could do that), but fiddling with the original video itself with the Window Movie Maker program that came with this laptop, one that hadn't been used until today. I almost deleted that program on the first day for thinking it was another piece of MS crap taking up space on my harddrive, luckly I didn't.

Oh, if you are wondering where the sound is to the Punta Arenas clip, I took it off since the sound of the wind battering the camera's microphone in the background was quite annoying.

Anyway, the point of all this dribble is to let you know that you can expect more videos appearing on our website of the places we have visited, and also that we will try to avoid the shaky hand in the future. I'll publish them here as we get them done.

Is there anything you'd like to see on video of here in Santiago or Chile?
Let us know, we might be able to make it!
