INSANITY MAKES THE MAN

Finally.. Well it has to be done now, there is no higher setting.. The video was converted in a quick twelve hour marathon (yes I have no life)..    I think there has to be a time line to complete this.. So I was going to say Friday I would be done with conversion/editing  but it was a grueling session.. Figured out a quicker way to edit some of the files.. Worked quite well...  Anyway the new timeline will be this, I intend to piece the video together today* and then get the credits final set tomorrow with or without any extra information.. I'll make stuff up, it's what I'm good at... I want credit to go to who ever deserves it, the cake baker, transportation.. Flowers girls, ring bearer , best man..   All the little things but I will make stuff up, I already have names in mind and might use them even if I do get the info..  But Thursday (tomorrow) get the credit sequence set, and placed in order.. and then the long grueling task of getting each chapter set on Friday or Saturday.. Burn a test disc on Saturday/Sunday.. Have one more screening of the final product by the review board on Sunday.. Call it good, do any final edits on Sunday Monday Tuesday   and then .. Burn the cow and call it a goggle and let the chips fall where they may   I EM DONE!!



*What does piece the video together mean??  Isn't it easy to do??  You would think the  video would be in order off the card, but it isn't.. When I run the camera to record the program from the camera to the recorder it is in order (chronological as it was recorded) but in reality it is all over the place on the card and that is just the way it is on every video I shoot.. So when I take the video and edit it I have to name every file.. Sometimes the name gives description as to where the video might fit, most the time it just a name like toss the bride when the groomsmen were in the photo shoot picking up Jordan..   Piecing the video together can be tricky, the photo shoot on this video might just be willy nilly I don't know how important that being in order will be.. The last shot of Bob giving the "stink eye" to Adam being a case in point.. It is my favorite way to end that session but it wasn't the last pictures to be taken.. That would be Adams family shot.. so it can be tricky to piece it all together..

(P.S.  Final test disc is burned.. Why one more test disc??  I want to check the four formats to see how they stack up when watched on a bigger screen tv..  See if the 720p could be used as a good substitution.. The dvd file format is actually a smaller file and I wondered that much.. Then as I was on the producers thrown last night I was thinking even though this 1080p version is done, it will be close to 12GB when it is all said and done (including the credit sequence and other video) so the question hit me... A dvd disc will hold just over 4GB of music and files of this type, will it hold the finished video???   And that question will be answered shortly as the credit sequence will be set up and converted to 1080p and the final video chapter will also be converted to this file type.. I have to end this, and there has to be  a final date and that will hopefully be Sunday..  getting the finished chapters will take the longest time to get in 1080 files even though they are already there..  Hoping this test disc proves??  well I just need to make sure this is the "IT"  format.. I think it will be but if 720p proves better then there could be a problem.. To convert or not to convert.. But it would have to be extreme difference be seen in there...  )
