First few comments on the work of fellow students:
@SPQG_Juba: Your second video is no longer available for some reason. I have watched it though and I really liked your effect with the monocle (or whatever a single binocular is called)!
@Finlander: Fitting music and some very nice close-ups!
@Hesus de bodemloze: Very nice intro and aerial shots!
@ Mitch, Your humble servant: I find that the choice of music really adds to the movie. Some really nice blasts, as well!

Now, back on my project, I reworked my film with RTW movie_maker. I also used FRAPS (a registered version, that's why no watermark), mm live and mm 2.6 for the slow motion clip.
I improved on what The Nanny pointed out for my first attempt (clipping, jerky camera moves, unit description boxes). I believe that there is still room for improvement, but in general I am satisfied with my progress.
I have one main question:
mm live does not support slow motion (neither by default nor by add-ons)
mm 2.6 does not support output at 720p by default, so the clips do not match the clips from mm live. I believe that there is an add-on to include output at 720p, but I could not find it. Any words of advice?
