Irritations and whatnot

[gateslacker]

I am exceedingly irritated at the moment. I haven't made a vid in ages and ages, though I have had a few ideas, because I didn't really want to get started on such a project due to the amount of time it takes. For me, vidding is like reading a book. I can't put down and, therefore, it takes up way too much of the time I should be spending doing something else. Tonight, though, I had a bit of free time and I decided to get  started on that season nine vid I want to make. I also have a new vidding program that I have been wanting to figure out. In the process, I found some really cool stuff that I thought would look good in a vid and some cool features, such as the ability to correct/alter the look and/or color hues of the clip. Way Cool! However, I also realized that there were some features that I enjoyed with movie maker that were missing from Pinnacle.  Why can't there just be one program with it all? In any case, everything was going pretty well until Pinnacle started freezing up on me. I know it is a huge ram hog but I thought I could get by. I guess I am going to have to buy some more ram. Grrrrrrrrr. In the meantime, I have a vid that wants to be made and I guess I will just have to go back on my promise not to use Movie Maker ever again. Oh, that I could combine what I like from each program into one terrific program that isn't at all testy. Movie Maker freezes as well but it doesn't take very long to load so there you have it.

ruralstar, I downloaded one of your vids, Beautiful Day, but I haven't watched yet. (it took a bit of time to download  for some reason and by then I was caught up vid making. scarym1, your video took two seconds to download...LOL  (The evil Daniel vid) and I did watch it.  I love the clips you chose and their arrangement but I just really (really!) didn't  like that song...LOL. Your clips went well, though. I am ever grateful for the season nine eps you sent to me!!!

I have been watching season one of X-files and I really, really enjoyed that ep with General  Hammond ....er....Scully's Dad. The title had something about the sea in it. In any case, I was rather transfixed by the whole ep! I really had forgotten how creepy X-files could be.

I also managed to take in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It has been awhile since I read the book and was going to read it again before watching but decided the heck with it. I thought the movie was very good and I blubbered quite a bit through it all. When Aslan said, "It is Finished", I got Goosebumps, I tell ya!!!

Oh yes. But, I think I have found a small way around the problem..if it works. It seems that I can edit clips and add them to the timeline all I want in Pinnacle without constant crashing. It just has a meltdown when I actually watch the video within the program. It seems that all of these programs hate that. Hence, the need for more ram, methinks. So, make the clips look how I want in Pinnacle. Save it and then import into Movie Maker. The only problem is needing to know most of the clips you want to use before hand to make life simple.
