Back to vidding

So, how's the vidding community lately? You know, for the first time I'm right here in the States, have cable in my apartment, and can actually keep up with all the shows I want right up there with you guys. Problem is, I still haven't figured out where all the programs are. In Brazil there were basically three channels: WB, Sony and Fox. Here, there are hundreds of them! I'll have to make a time sheet or something...

Thing is, there aren't really that many shows that interest me anymore. Or maybe I'm missing something really good. What have y'all been watching (and vidding) lately?

Anyway, like I mentioned in a previous post, I'm taking a video editing class. And our first project was... You guessed it, a music video! :) Well, I was definitely happy with that! Although I wanted to present something that didn't constitute copyright infringement, so that it could be shown at the school's student presentations. So I decided to go with the band. Yeah, I know, it does seem like it's an obsession, but you know, it's just *there*, I have tons of footage from a million rehearsals and performances, and I can use them any way I like, and the songs, too, so I figured it was a good project.

Except that I couldn't get the darn footage to work on Final Cut Pro. Still working on that, and I might have figured it out, so maybe I'll do it anyway. But we had a deadline, and I needed to do *something*, so I reverted to what I already knew and made a music video to a series. More specifically, Tom Hank's "From the Earth to the Moon", which I just happened to have bought recently and enjoyed tremendously. It's done, burned on a CD and handed over to my teacher, who is going to critique it this next Tuesday.

But I was just wondering, would anyone be interested in beta-ing it for me? Pretty please? :)

Im spamming you with comments, I know ;) So, I haven't been vidding at all lately. But Id definitely be available for beta-ing :) Also might be able to help with the FCP issue, but possibly not. I know some aspects of it pretty well and some of them drive me crazy. Hehe. And I watch *entirely* too much TV, so if you want some recs, just ask ;)

Spam anytime you want! :)
Goody, I'm still trying to figure out how to compress my file (it's 400MB at the moment). I have no idea how to do this on a mac. But I'll figure it out eventually, put the file up and let you know! And yay, recs! Rec away!

Working off of my work laptop, so the only thing I have to watch vids on is WMV ... if your vid runs on it, I'd be happy to beta it. Or if you have it on YouTube, which is the only streaming site I can load.

Still trying to get it to compress to wmv, as soon as I do I'll give you the link! Thanks!

"What have y'all been watching (and vidding) lately?"

Supernatural, Dr Who/Torchwood and BSG seem to be popular.

Always nice to find a fellow Mac vidder. There is a Mac vidding community (mac_vidding_101)

Yeah, I figured on Supernatural and BSG, they're both very, um, "viddable" (is that a word??). As for Dr. Who, I've seen many people talking about it, but I have no idea what it is! I'll have to google it and see...

Oh, and thanks for the community link! I'll definitely join it. I'm actually very happy with my mac, I just have no idea as to how to get files to a small enough size to put up on the net, that kind of stuff. How to use the compressor thingy. But I'll get the hang of it eventually!
