ash48It a good idea to PLAN a vid before launching in. It will save hours of worthless clipping AND you wouldn't have to delete half the thing and start over again.... *sigh*.
At least I (think) I know what I am doing now...

Date: 2011-01-20 03:21 pm (UTC)I changed directions once I could see where I thought I was going just wasn't doing it for me... shame that was after hours of clipping I didn't need to do. But.. that's the way it goes sometimes. :)

Date: 2011-01-20 11:58 pm (UTC)Hee... I also get very distracted a long the way. I often stop and watch an entire scene and realise I have just wasted precious vidding time. :)
Sounds like I need to find the "zen" in the experience.

Date: 2011-01-21 12:09 am (UTC)I used to save all my clips but since moving to FCE the clips are far too big to keep a library of them. I mean, I have plenty of disc space but I am conscience of filling it up with such large clip files.
I have kept a a folder few regularly used clips, but I usually delete all my clips after each project.
Hmm..iTunes eh? Do you make your clips .dv?? I find FC likes them the most. Maybe there's a smaller file format I could be using?

Date: 2011-01-21 12:15 am (UTC)But if you have a lot of clips I'd say pop the library on an external drive. When you want to use it make iTunes choose a different library than you normal one. The important thing is to quit iTunes before doing this. You definitely don't want to get those library.xml files mixed up.
I leave iTunes in the dock. I press and hold the Option key then click iTunes. It will then ask me if I want to create a new library or choose a different library. I pick my Doctor Who library and everything I need is one place.
And when I need to tell FCP to use a clip I drag it right from the iTunes library. That way everything is always in one place.
If you're interested I can give you the process in greater detail.

Date: 2011-01-21 12:21 am (UTC)I'll probably stick to what I am doing. Hubby uses iTunes a lot and I'd hate to mess with it. My filing system works pretty well. I think I just gotta stop deleting clips all the time.
Thanks! :)

Date: 2011-01-20 11:53 pm (UTC)Though yeah.. not a complete loss actually. I took out all the clips that didn't fit my new theme and it don't look so bad. :)
*hugs* thanks hun. <33
