It is. Basically when I click in the middle of a clip and press play it jumps for the duration of the clip and then goes to normal. Its just something that happens if I'm editing. (told you it was a long story)

Well I think at the beginning and end of the Doomsday video it is effective (jumping through characters emotions) and I would like to keep it there. I'm starting to know what you mean though (in the middle) it becomes repetitive and takes out some excitement

I thought I would use the different transition so it isn't the same old transitions the whole way through. In the Doomsday one it was also meant to separate the Rose bits but I do think it looks out of place.

I view full screen on iMovie and its OK. But watching it on my iPod I found it hard to read and also the read font in the Sontaran one was hard to see. I needed to use a lighter color.

Don't like the fact Murray's music protrudes in the background sometimes. If I had Tom's program I could remove the incidental. Balancing the volume of clips will take a long time but I may look into it one day as it does annoy me.

Will call them recaps or summaries in future. Its just that the music I use is used in trailers a lot so I just automatically thought to call it a trailer.

Hope that helps.  |
Instead of making these changes to my current videos I would like to integrate them into new ones. I would like to make a 42 one or the Series 3 finale (inc. Utopia). Might get onto making a Series Summary with Requiem for a dream or Preliator (Lacrymosa remix) for the music (as they are longer). What do you mean by jumping about? Would like to sort that out. I know there is one jumpy bit in the Sontaran "trailer".
Thanks, for the tips guys.
