I wish I wasn't flesh and blood, I would not be scared of bullets built with me in mind

I started working on my new vid today, and I'm happy with how it's going so far. But I'm having issues with clips, so will probably have to restart. I haven't exactly done a lot and it shouldn't take too long, but is pretty annoying. Especially having to rip an entire movie again, heh ( Read more... )

Yay! Serenity vid from you!!! I can't wait. *happy dance* And it's so great to hear about more Firefly/Serenity plans too, this is so exciting!!!!!

What program do you use to rip clips? They'll have to be uncompressed to go into Premiere, right? So confusing...

I can't believe it took me this long to venture into Firefly vidding :p Yeah I'm pretty excited about some of my ideas.

I'm using No.1 DVD Ripper. I think when given the choice between compressed and uncompressed, I went with compressed...
Will that make a huge difference? (If that's even what I did haha) I don't really want to wait like another 3 hours unless I'm quite sure lol.

Uncompressed should make a pretty big difference, yeah. But it probably depends on what you're going to export to ultimately. Have you thought about exporting to divx? It makes a reasonably-sized file, but the quality is superb. Or RMVB looks very good too, but real media is less universally accepted.

Ummmm I don't really know much about the whole exporting thing, heh.

I always just use the export to Windows Media option in Premiere

Anyway, if you're looking at size more than quality, I really liked the size you used for Final Fantasy. It's bigger and shinier, but not so big and shiny that it would take an eternity to download.

I'd say quality is my main focus, but with Serenity being in widescreen I was aiming to go a little bigger than usual, just so it doesnt seem tiny with the black borders.

The original clips I ripped were 720x560, which I was planning on saving a version for myself as. And the online version probably around 500x[?].

Right now it gets kind of pixely in the motion shots, and one of the overlays I used just blurs right in to the base clip and looks messy.
I'll try re-ripping the movie tomorrow and see if it makes any difference.

I should mention that I was including the vid's length in my plan. It's less than 3 minutes long, so I imagine that'll mean it wouldn't be as large as my other vids if I just exported my usual way.

Well, in that case uncompressed would definitely make a huge difference, because you're essentially ripping at DVD quality and there should be no pixellation whatsoever. But you'll pay for it with hard drive space. ;)

Anyway, a middle ground, if uncompressed gets too much for you, would be to increase the bitrate of what you're ripping. What are you ripping the source clips as? Divx avi? There should be something called a "pass-1 setting" that lets you change the bitrate of the rip.
