I actually have to agree with you is it worth sitting their editting video if it is really just amatuer anyway?
I am sure many funny moments have been cut away whilst editting videos.

If I had to edit out the swear words then I'd have nothing.
Too much burden to put on people anyway. Oooh that's not
a perfect video. Or cut that out and get closer there.
There is just so much you can do with the CamCorders and
the DVD storage is almost free.

So maybe you'd like to watch an unedited movie? I'm sure it would just "pull you out of your seat", except that's probably to leave.
And there are many times where you have to keep the camera rolling for a long time, for example to capture background music, which you can dubb in somewhere else in the video. Short videos, maybe. But you simply must take enough footage sometimes, and then editing is inevitable unless you want to watch uselessly long crap that no one likes.

My best unedited video was today.
A Ruffed Grouse marched by the truck window, seeming
to be in time with the music that was playing.
It is todays 6Th video clip at:
http://www.dropshots.com/spectateswamp
I have downloaded it to YouTube but it is not
available for viewing yet. I guess that's why I
like DropShots so much. They say it is 100 times
faster than other systems for downloading and
I believe them.
no editing at all ever.

has an interest. They will allow me to get away with some pretty bad
technical problems.
In certain situations I almost keep the camera rolling. During Political
Forums. I make a quick break between each speaker and the questions.
I don't miss much. They play back one after another, making the viewing
continuous. With the small files it doesn't require any editing to not play
one or change the sequence of the playback by simply renumbering
the videos. I'm sure the candidates were far more interested in the
video about them than the rest of the pack.
My TrapLine video goes well on the Hunting and Trapping forums.
that's my main concern.

I sometimes have the playback on my computer start a fraction
of a second into each clip. Hitting the on / off switch always creates
some jiggle. On a tripod (I don't use them much) I use the remote
to switch on and off. Eliminating that tiny problem.
The Tsunami video was worse than mine and people watched every
bit of it. I'm just saying if you keep the clips relatively short. You don't
have to Physically edit the video. You do lose a little resolution when
rerendering. Just don't upload the ones that arn't up to par. With DVD's
so cheap. You can keep everything for pennies. It's not a storage
problem any more. I say people should shoot land shoot lots and upload
their best.
I thing those long long long lines are horrid. But it's ok if you like that way
Shoot shoot and shoot Video
