So. After working on Gia!vid for 3? 4? (I can't remember when I started) hours today I have 11 more seconds vidded to my satisfaction. Jebus this vid is taking forever. I don't know why but the section just refused to look right. I'm only just barely happy with it now.
In any case, Premiere is having *problems* again. Similar to the problems I had working on Gattaca!vid only times 12. It's not rendering properly. I'll look at my playback window and see large chunks of blackspace where there should be clips playing. I've temporarily solved this problem by continuously deleting my render files and only rendering/viewing 15 seconds of vid at a time. I say temporarily because I'm only 1/3 of the way through this vid and the problem seems to be getting worse as I go.
When Premiere isn't rendering wrong, it's not rendering at all. I have to restart the program about every twenty minutes because I get an error message that says it can't calculate my frame size and/or I'm lacking memory. I have 20 free gigs, so I know that's not it. Unless it's talking about RAM, in which case wtf? It never complained like this before.
Maybe it just really doesn't like all the tinting/desaturation/brightness/contrast tweaking I've been doing on, like, every clip in the vid. I also think it just doesn't like this movie. Premiere (or is it avisynth?) seems to handle some DVD footage better than others.
Usually when I'm troubleshooting, I try to figure out what I'm doing differently to cause such problems. Unfortunately that doesn't really work when I'm vidding because on each new vid I tend to do about a million things differently. For this vid in particular, it's the first time I've tried using AssumeFPS(24) in my source avs script. If that's what's causing problems, it's too late to take it out now. It's the first time I've used brightness/contrast, black and white, and desaturation, and color tweaking filters to this extent. It could be any one of those things or a combination of all of them. It's my first time not using dissolves, which should make Premiere like me more, not less. Maybe if I just shove everything I can down to a single track that will help.
In non-vidding news:
I finished pt. 1 of the sorority!Sanzo fic. I sent it to
permetaform, but she doesn't have internet at her apt., so I don't know when she'll be getting back to me on that. Anyone else want to beta?
