THE FINAL FOUR

This is how you will know the video is nearing completion ... I am working on a video set to music, a... what do you call it.... a   music video.. I'll trademark that one someday...  anyway I am gonna clip some videos and pictures and put a music track to it and then put it on all my sites.. All five of them, the most  exposed video I can do..  The disc is very near completion as I write this.. Today I will piece together the wedding and the reception and the final credit sequence will be set today.. get the video chapters set tomorrow .. burn a "quick" test video Saturday morning, have the "review board" watch it and then make any little adjustments Saturday night   or Sunday morning and then...  do it all over again because  I find something that just isn't right with it.. 

I burned a test video last night to view on my little brothers tv.. I couldn't see any big difference in the lowest setting (XVID AVI)  and any of the other three test shots...  The DVD video showed  a rectangle within the screen.. I knew that would be the case.. 720p and 1080p were nearly identical..  I',m not sure which would be better but because I did the whole editing in 1080p, that is where it will be... No turning back now..  I think that the 1080 shows the limitation of the original video.. Not shot in HD it is a little laxed however I like it because it does fine with what I need it for.. And no it isn't "broadcast quality"  but it works for me...  After working on the video for the past week or so I got to learn more about the program that I am using to edit it and think about the project I was wanting to attempt and it suddenly has become easier.. After doing all this & that and watching the tuts and everything...  Some things the tuts said to try  and they showed how and then I tried it and then found a nuch easier way to do it... this program is limited but it does a great job.. And for the casul user it is perfect.. I dare say anyone could use it and master it..  As with every program there is agreat amount of frustration but it seems the more I used it, the more comfortable I got with it, the more I figured it out, most of the figuring out was by trial and error although most of the errors I liked and wished I could do it that way everytime.. Now after messing with the program all this time I am getting it..  I was afraid I would get close to the end of this project and not want it to be completed but now I am ready...  By Monday it will be done.. And that will be that...
