More Fun Than Herding Cats!
Vidding ate my brain. (What little there is of it to begin with ( Read more... ) -
New Vid
Finally got my hands on some badly-needed source material, so was able to complete an MFU vid for the Wedding Challenge over on muncle. It's rather overdue, since New York legalized same sex marriage back in July, but hey, better late than never, right ( Read more... ) -
At Long Last - Success
Finally resolved the problem with the dreaded codec green bar of doom. Back to work on the vid, yay!
The process I use for vid-making is complex and time-consuming, but I'm familiar with it and the process results in excellent quality vids. So, y'know, I'm not going to argue with success. :) -
I Should Have Known Better
I downloaded a bit of freeware last week, and it has given me the dreaded green codec bar of doom.
So far I have had no luck with fixing the problem.

Very Interesting
I just played back a test snippet to see how a final result looks in different players. The test vid looks and plays great in VLC player, and I'm happy with that. But when I use Windows MediaPlayer 12, which is what came with my Windows 7 machine, I realized the video portion is very diffused, like I'd applied a strong diffuse filter, or maybe a ( Read more... ) -
Pre-processing footage
When I bought this new computer a few months ago, I ended up having to re-download all the apps I use for processing footage for videos. Well, not such a big deal really, since I do use the incredibly wonderful AMVApp. But as it turns out, the new download is a different version from what I used to use. Which means when I went to make a few clips ( Read more... ) -
