This is the first video that I have shot using my 5d and I am quite disappointed with the outcome.
I would really appreciate anyone that could take some time to have a look and suggest how I can improve it.
The video is of a test rig that I have built for my Uni dissertation project, and I intend the video to be used in my presentation, so will be displayed large via a projector.
I'm not sure how to embed a video from zenfolio, so here is the link.

My work flow was as follows.
Video shot in Raw, custom wb, tripod mounted and live view focus. Everything looks great, sharp and correctly colored on the back of the camera.
The clips were converted to MPEG-II format using 'Any Video Converter'.
The video was then created using Pinnacle Videospin
The output settings used were.
File type - AVI
Preset - Full Screen (DV) 720x480
There doesn't seem to be an option to output the video in 1080.
Does anything in that stick out as being a problem? My main concern ist there seems to be a general lack of quality, clarity, whatever you want to call it. Areas I know that were accurately focused upon, Ie the front screw being tightened in the close up, are not appearing to be in focus.
Also, I would really like to be able to show the ball drops at the end in slow motion, but videospin doesn't support that. Is there an alternative free editing software that would do a better job? I would be looking to invest in some software at a later date, but currently I am penniless.
Thanks.
