My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Video Editing and Wedding Video I recently installed Pinnacle Studio 9 on my PC, upgrading from my previous version of Studio 8. I don't see much difference. Hopefully, the differences are in the engine. I also had the pleasure of installing Hollywood FX 5.1 and a shitload of new, exciting transition effects for video editing. These are exciting times! a.b.c.i is good to me. I'm going to install Sony Vegas and see what that video editor is like. Hopefully, it's a marriage of the ease of Studio and the production quality of Premier. My biggest dilemma is video file size. One hour of pure DV video is 13 Gigs. I have at least six tapes from various sources... perhaps up to eight. This means that after I capture all the videos to my hard drive, I'll be working with over 100 Gigs of avi video. It's going to tax my system severely. That is why I'm looking at production-level video editing tools. Even with Premier, I think they only allow up to three different video feeds. It's going to be tough making the wedding video. But for now, I'm just concentrating on capturing and making the video available on my hard drive. My plan, which may prove difficult, will be to use the audio of one continuous video fee, then add assorted shots and angles from the others. Timing will be the biggest challenge. Professional videographers probably use synchronized time-stamped videos. I don't have that luxury. It will be a challenge, but it will be fun. I have the rest of my life to create this video. Perhaps my calling is to do this for a living? It would be a great job if that is all I had to do... no... wait... I want to be a National Geographic photographer... no... wait... I want to be a professional web designer... no... wait... I want to be a dolphin trainer for the military... no... wait... I don't even know what I want to do when I grow up. But I do know I that I DON'T want to play the political, hide-the-salami, grab-ass game of the good-ol-boys club where I work. That is a certainty. posted by Dino at 11:25 AM (permanent link)
