This stupid fucking vid has cuts like every sixteen frames. Two-thirds of the clips have been slowed down or speeded up. And virtually every one is timed to some tiny thing in the music that, okay, probably only I can hear, but I have looked at this vid so. many. times. that if I get a clip just two frames out of alignment it looks off to me

Now, *how* pleased with yourself are you going to be when you're done with this remastering? That's what I thought.

And yes, you're quite right, I'll be immensely pleased with myself if and when I survive this godawful annoying from-hell ordeal.

The other vids that I've worked on thus far haven't actually been that bad; it's just this one. This whole acquisition-of-increasingly-advanced-skills definitely has its ugly downside. Heh.

Yeah, I can't imagine what it would take to remaster "Sleep Alone." Yikes.
Actually, that one might not be so bad...VideoFactory allows you to replace a source file with a new version, and the whole timeline is updated to use the new version wherever the original was indicated, with clipping, special effects, cropping, placement, etc intact. So if I had the patience to get as far as making new captures that matched the originals down to the frame, the rest would be relatively easy. And since I kept reusing the same bits over and over, there's really not *that* much source... still, I hasten to add, not something I'm ever going to do, but it's a comforting thought. it's the more traditional ones (and the zillion-cuts-a-minute) one I'm working on now that I think would drive me to distraction...

Yes, yes it does! ;-)

One of the vids that I put into suspended animation this weekend? Had clips that were 4 frames long, each one timed to something in the music that maybe only *I* could hear. After about 1:45 seconds of this sort of stuff, I had a mini nervous breakdown.
Walk away. Just walk away for five minutes. :) Barring that, your support group is right here, babe.

Taking a break was definitely the right idea. I made good progress this afternoon and it looks like everything's gonna be just fine. Whew.

Re: your potential FoTR vid ("it's just gonna be long uncut scenes from FotR slapped haphazardly onto six minutes grabbed at random from the middle of that interminable fucking requiem") - I think I have seen this vid. You don't have to make it. It has already been done.

See, that's why I need to not go crazy. I know the world is full of crap LotR vids (although I'd bet the farm that none of them are to the music I'm using). I actually haven't watched *any* LotR vids -- I want to get mine drafted before I torture myself like that.
