Finished at last

Thurs.6th Jan 2011
I've just finished my new video "It's Just My Garden". Over the past 18 months I've followed John Williams around his garden in a high valley on a north facing slope in the Pennines above Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire I tried to capturing the mood of his garden through the seasons.
The video is 20mins long so I've selected a short section from Springtime.

    Hi David, found this for you:

    "YouTube has changed the default size for embedded videos. By default they're getting bigger at either 480x385 for a 4:3 video, or 640x385 for a 16:9 video." Seen at http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2010/03/05/youtube-changes-default-size-on-embeds

    Perhaps you need to selct a different option during upload or try the custom setting. Maybe you tried that :-)

    Hope you get it sorted. Nce filming. You picked the best season for me here - I adore meconopsis :-D

    Hello David...very impressive video of what looks like a very impressive garden. It gave me a lovely warm feeling of better weather to come on what has been a cold, gloomy and very wet day:))

    Thanks shirl
    I looked on the internet and obtained a short formula for maintaining the correct 16:9 ratio.....yt:stretch=16:9 this formula has to be entered into the TAG section before commencing the upload.

    How did I miss this.... I've been spending too long in the attic! :O) You have a great talent here David, for production and filmwork. What a beautiful garden.... I need to go there and I need to meet those two lovely little doggies. :D Truly enjoyable film David, thank you!

    Hi again David, being a gardener who loves to visit gardens I am loving seeing clips of your excellent film :-D

    You have captured both John and his garden very well. Being the only gardener here I can completely relate to much he has said. Of course, I always enjoy listening to your narrative too :-)

    Glad you got sorted with your code. Thankfully, I didn't have any trouble uploading my first two HD videos. I did the same as always.

    Just to say, I always adjust the height and width directly into the html code when I add it to my blog. Sorry, I was in a rush when I left my previous comment :-)

    I've experimented in the past to get the measurements that fill the width of my blog column and have kept a note of the widescreen ones I have shown by others. That works for me. Get in touch if you want me to try the same for you.
