Oh...what's new...

Have vidded roughly three minutes. Rough draft is about halfway done. Any other song and I'd be on the home stretch by now. I slept four and a half hours last night. Bright side -- Premiere is much easier to use than WMM (anyone who says it isn't is a dirty, dirty liar). Sadly, I found that when I tried to extract clips from my avi episodes, they ended up with the Divx logo plastered all over them. I found a way to prevent that from happening (or rather, some kind LJer told permetaform told me how to prevent that from happening). Unfortunately I'm going to need to re-clip all of season 4 (17 clips in total).

Waaaaaaah.



My mom visited on Friday. She brought me food from her trip to Belgium. I have eaten all the stroupwafels and chocolate. I still have two sesame crepes left over. Mmmm...foreign food.

?? are you multitasking on your computer? for a 4 min long section it takes me about an hour or so. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay shorter if I make clips of most of the parts first...

Nope. I've talked to people who share my version of Premier and they concur that this is accurate. I hate it. *stabs premiere*

[permetaform]

even when the clips are pre-rendered using WMM's "DV-AVI (NTSC)" function? That usually renders 4min clips in 25 min or less, and then I mess around with the clips in Premiere. That way, it's automatically green instead of that red...

Hmm...I should try that. See, I asked some vidding chicas about short cuts like that and they claimed there were none...still the 6 hours to make the vid makes me INSANE. Especially, when after the 6 hours have passed, I realize that there is a speed bump of some sort and have to DO IT AGAIN.

it shouldn't take that long...er.

tho I have premiere7. but yeah, try pre-rendering. it's annoying and takes awhile but it saves time in the long run

Hmm, I have an earlier version. I'll try it though. I think what I really need is a newer version of Premier. However, I'm not really a vidder--I just play one on LJ. ;)

heh, premiere pro 7 is available on bittorrent
