Trying to find a good strategy to catch (freight) trains is not easy.
So whenever I can I try to prepare myself via streetview / google maps.
But nothing compares to being there and driving around.
Looking for good places to put your tripod and routes to make sure you get to the next spot before the train does....

This would be one of the spots, but unfortunately, the warehouse had just closed down for the summer....

Hahahahahaha.
There are a lot of others that make superb Sweden commercials
Although I must say they seem to be a bit quiet here on the forum lately.

Working on my second Mariestad video as we 'speak'.
Hope it will turn out good, since it is rendering now.

That is true, but still I like to have a certain time limit for myself.
Otherwise nobody is going to look.
I might however make an extended version

Rendering the 'extended version' right now
Will take about 2 hours to complete, so I think it won't be up until tomorrow.

Yes, you are correct,

i sometimes makes 2 versions one for YT and one for my memories.

wow, 2 hours that is something.

4k? and a lot of transitions or?

I usually do that with my train video's.
Because I never know if I 'need' a version without music.

It is 11 minutes Full HD with color grading on all.
50fps.
The color grading adds a lot of render time.
Davinci is much quicker in that area, but I'd rather edit quickly and render slow than vice versa.
(Can't get used to Davinci and in Vegas I can edit very fast)

You shuold really see what davinci can do now and with the #16 releases that is in beta now it Will be even better, but i can understand your hesitation. I take it step by step and i like it more every day

Yeah, it is a super powerful program.
But editing is so slow and complex compared to Vegas.
I can make an edit in 10 minutes in Vegas and the same edit takes me over 30 minutes in Davinci.
Of course I will get quicker over time, but some things just require a lot more handling / clicks in Davinci
So I will give it another go sometime, although I am hesitant since I already tried 3 edits.

well this minutes are worth a lot, can't say anything about that.

I will stop selling DR to you

Great shot, then I noticed Lake Vanern in the background and was even more impressed.
