ash48I love vidding - I do! But it's testing my patience at the moment!
I have just completed the first draft of my new video. This is a vid that I really wanted to be "good" - I wanted to work on all the bits that make up a good vid - the feel, the story (well, action in this case), the colour, transitions etc.) I made a copy and sent it to my beta,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sharvie who had some wonderfully positive initial comments before we launched into the beta process. This is my favourite part of vidding. I love tweaking and having someone to bounce ideas off. Also to help me sharpen my vidding skills.
All was going well until major crash! My program iMovie just couldn't handle it anymore and basically told me to get stuffed! This was after I finished my first bit of beta'ing. All gone!
Choice now is do I upload what I had? (with the knowledge that it could be so much better), or do I remake it - knowing it will take ages, but will hopefully be a better video. *Eeek* too hard basket.
I also have a shiny new vidding program - Final Cut Express - which is doing my head in at the moment. It looks awesome but, man, learning curve much!

I have posted things in the past and regretted it cos wmm just ended my desire to carry on...but you have to decide what best for your sanity sometimes.
*big hugs*

Hubby is playing with the program to see what can be done. My beta reckons by first draft was more like a final copy so I may end up going with it. I'll see what can be salvaged, because I would like to tweak it some more. I'll see if my sanity survives that.
Thanks for the comment. I can now empathise with anyone who had a vid crash on them. Not nice!
