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!

Date: 2007-09-07 11:38 pm (UTC)Well, I sent back an email so you know my opinion. Your first draft is vastly better than some final versions I've seen. Really.
But I wouldn't want you to regret posting something you thought was totally inferior. I guess it depends on how long you think it's going to take to rebuild and if you really want to wait however long that is.
I'll help every step if need be. *hugs*

I'm going to start rebuilding the vid and see how that goes - see if I have the patience for it. If all goes well I will send you a copy of my first edits sometime soon - hopefully.
Thanks for your wonderful support as always.
