You want to edit, yet don't want to edit?

[Castor Troy]

I wanna edit, but I've been so damn busy and when I finally get home, I just wanna waste time browsing on the computer and play video games. :/

But if I can get into the groove, then I can't stop editing.

Get a good night's rest, down a shitload of coffee the next morning, lock yourself in your room with the computer.

That's how porn happens.

That's how WoW happens.

I have so many ideas I want to edit, but once I learned how to make an AMV, I went nuts and did too many little videos at once...then got burned out. Now I just don't feel like doing it. And I absolutely dread working with DVD footage, it's too much of a pain for me, and I HATE DEINTERLACING. I think I still enjoy and look forward to editing the video itself, but I hate preparing footage and making clips anymore.

It seems two of the bigger categories in this thread happen to be people who don't like editing, and people who don't like ripping/converting. Maybe the first can prepare the footage, and make the latter edit the videos, so we're all happy and videos start being made again?

I don't mind doing all the pre-editing work.
I don't mind editing.
I don't mind doing all the post-editing work.

That's why my editing regimen consists of periods of intense editing followed by loooong interludes of idling. I never leave a project in the timeline for more than a month unless it's effects heavy.

Some people seem to have a surplus of ideas for AMVs. I don't. On the contrary, I'm always suffering from a scarcity of ideas. In other words, the rate limiting factor for me in releasing new videos isn't laziness ( ), but my lack of new ideas.

But to say the least,The only thing i really dislike doing is the post-editing,Encoding the video,Waiting 2 hours for a video to encode,1 More hour to it upload.It's just really anoying stuff in my case to say the least,But hehe,I enjoy editing so...... no probs here.

Waiting 2 hours for a video to encode,1 More hour to it upload.

Sounds like it's time to upgrade the PC...

And who the hell cares... the world ends in 2012.

I turn 30 before that happens, so I've got the worst part of the deal for that year, lol.

Sometimes the process of editing is boring, sometimes it's extremely fun but that usually depends on how accurately the idea in my mind is being translated onto my PC. Sometimes it's just pure laziness where I open a project, stare at the video layers for a while then closing it...

That and some projects where I'm doing intense layering and effects lag...A LOT. I need a new PC lol

I hate it when your amv is pretty much done and you WANT to give it those finishing touches (everybody will LOVE ) but just can't... too afraid you'll mess the thing up :/ lol. And you sit there with the program open while you surf the internet. usually the org forums. Doing something like this :/ yeah.
