JOURNAL: X-Marked Maikeru (Michael Conway)

  • More time on the timeline 2006-03-16 23:39:00 Video has moved to about 2/3 complete....

    Now you may be thinking a week to complete a video?!

    Now you must remember that I have been putting in about 5-15 hours a day putting this video together. Its hard work, but I think my final resulst shall look pretty good. I worked for at least 4 hours today... not much time to work on it today... had to bury my dog... 12 years... I'm gonna miss that dog...

    Anyway, I am at the more difficult part to edit, kinda got a few ideas on how to go about it, just not too sure which to use.... compressing about 10 minutes of video into 20 seconds... heh heh he... I think it should work all out ok.

    *_* FFDShow is working!? It usually crashes my media player.

    Hmmm I gotta see how much more I can put into it tonight... well back to the ol' timeline! 
  • Heh 2006-03-15 01:42:55 Alright... 2 hours and I managed to move about 5-10 seconds down the timeline... needes cleaning up though. Cant just leave it like that. Well I got my next video in-line aswell... not starting till I finish this video though... duh heh... and not until I get my external hard drive.

    Anyway the video is now a little be past half way... I wont have much time to edit more tonight though. More will be done though before bed. I am hoping to have it finished by the end of this week... whew this is a lot of work... there are still parts that I have to clean up... I am not too sure how easy it is going to be... tricky parts with lip syncing... they might be easier than I think though depending on how I go about it.

    Gotta work on the intro aswell... might make one specific for all of my amvs though... and put something at their end to show what the videos are. I cant wait to see this video completed... by far one of my best creations... but more yet I wanna see what quality I can get out of it! If what I believe I should be able to encode in Xvid with AMVApp... I hope or else same old TMPGEnc... aye... its easy enough... and I know a bit of my own tricks on getting some good qual encodes in mpeg... but I really want Xvid's quality! heheheheheh! 
  • 2006-03-14 02:40:16 Oye ve,

    I havent completed very much of my video tonight. Not too discouraged about it... kinda needed a break from it, can come back later and see anything that I can do different to touch up some parts and add the new sections...

    I see it coming along pretty good, just need more time... I hate this time in making a video... I get more than half way done then I want to finish if more quickly, but I cant do that! Gotta finish the video as good as I can get it. This video is going along with essays after all.

    Oh man I feel sick... to much staring at this screen. Very comfotrable notebook I must add... just a touchy touchpad... good think I have a mouse for editing... that would suck editing and having to use a touchpad... not much flexablity and accuracy as with a mouse.

    Ah man... essays gotta write essays... I hate writing essays... but I gotta! I gotta get to school! ^_^ oooh I cant wait to get my degree... but I moreso cant wait for the journey along the way! the journey is more important than the end.... I suppose.

    Alright 3 hours of work and no movemnet on the timeline.... if not actually 5 seconds backwards....

    Well off to check to see if I need a defrag and watch some amvs... 
  • keep on editing.... 2006-03-12 21:11:54 Wow... after about 3 days of just 'bout non stop editing, probably putting in about at least 8 hours a day, wow... almost a full time job... -_-()

    Heh...roughly 20 hours put in and I am about 50% complete... not giving any garentees... but hey I should have this video done by the end of the week if I keep up this pace... Hopefully using this much isnt too much on my comp, but I doubt it...

    Well give or take the amount of mem AVISynth takes up and crashes... heh... to my benefit Premeire has been warning me... and letting me save... I need to backup though...

    I think this video should meed its completion, I havent dicked around, and have been keeping it well tooken care of going on it is gets its needed defrag and rest from it...

    damn last few days... edit... smoke break... edit... smoke break.... STRESSS!!! but its fun and I like the way the video is coming along. Especially with my "herbal" helper every once and a while to keep good minding and a bit more creativity. Matter of fact I might have some of that medicine of mine soon.

    Alright school stuff straightened out at the college, now I just sit and wait for scholarship essays to be graded and all the while long writing new ones. Oh it becomes a pain in the ass sometimes, cuz I havent written an essay in almost 5 years.... heh

     
  • Alright 2006-03-12 00:49:13 Everything running smoothly. computer showing no errors whatsoever! GOD I LOVE THIS SITE AND ITS HELPERS!!! I am a very paranoid person, and this computer is my most expensive toy here, yet not a toy I gotta go to Game Design with it!

    Heh I cant wait, I want to learn more about Premiere and learn new ways of editing, along with making game characters.

    There is this manga in my head that I have kinda drew out, only the main character is complete, but I want to turn that into a game someday. 3 years and I shoud have a bacheleor's in game design...

    On that note I just finished a rough draft of an essay for a scholarship, Aye the painful part of going to school... MONEY!!!!

    Well I feel like I have gave premiere enough break. so I am going back to editing!
