First video is online!

[Tony Junior]

Yes, YES, YES!

Okay, it's my first attempt at editing a video, from a 14 minuet clip to a 1:35 clip. I boo-booed with the quality, but what the heck, it's late, I've been up since 4:45 this morning, I'm tired, and...primarily, I didn't read the instructions until AFTER I saved the clip.

Yes, it's a male thing to do that.

Anyway, what I uploaded was a little of "I'm An Angle," which shows a portion of a lead-up to a BB.

You can look at it here.

Again, I apologize for the quality, but it's a heck of a big step for me!

Great start, Sounds and music are great!!!

[Tony Junior]

Thanks, Lucky. Sorry about the quality, but like I said, reading instructions AFTER must be a male thing.

I'll get the hang of it sooner or later...probably later! But now I go to bed!

Good job...

Video editing and encoding is an art form in it's own...

I build many DVD's for people and it can get very nerve racking
and timeeeeeeee consuming... codec this and codec that...

Hang in there just when you think you have it; surprise new codec.

thanks for sharing.. look forward to more.

There are some 640 x 480 med res on my site of BABEL.

I tried to post low res ones but because I kinda do this thing
on a regular basis I had to post the better ones.

[Tony Junior]

Thanks Zeron!

Assuming I get up before it's time to go back to bed, I may try again and go for better quality.

[dattia]

I think it was great Tony. I like your narration.

[Tulsa]

I too loved the narration. I couldn't help but think of my Baptist Minister buddy, he'd love that slot! Great job TJ!

[sacpinplayer]

Nice video Tony I agree with dattia and Tulsa, your narration added to my enjoyment of the video. Very good sound quality too.

Very nice Tony ! Keep up the good work !

Tony
The video is great! The picture is clear, the camera is steady and not jumping around, your lighting is good (you can see everything on the machine and when the lights go, they are not washed out, and are bright). The sound quality is fantastic! Your narration is perfect! I don't know what you are not happy with. Yeah the video size is a little small, but it is still clearer than alot of bigger videos we have seen. I am impressed, I am a computer guy and I tried to do that once and my videos were no where near that good.
Keep up the good work!

[Tony Junior]

Lddrizzt, Tulsa, Dattia, Azlew, Sacpinplayer, and anybody else that commented on the narration, thank you!

I wondered about even doing that when I was taking the video. I, being the talker I am, decided to do that on a whim. To me it explains a lot about what is actually happening on a machine, at least to my understanding of it.

Do y'all think I should continue adding comments when needed?

[Lddrizzt]

Do y'all think I should continue adding comments when needed?

Ummmm YEAH!! I liked it, very refreshing and makes it more personal and more user friendly. Now if you had a weird squeeky voice I would have to rethink it, but your narration was clear and enjoyable.

Well done Tony. Keep up the good work m8

[Tony Junior]

Well done Tony. Keep up the good work m8

Thanks, Dazz!
But you didn't answer about the narration!

[azlew]

.....Do y'all think I should continue adding comments when needed?

YES !!!

[Dazzyman]

Yea narrate m8

Ive tried to sort vids out of mine but the guy what was going to lend me his digital one said hes too busy to get me it sigh! (I saved him hundreds ordering it for him but there u go ).

Ours unfortunetly is about as much use as a clockwork one (bout 10yrs old now) so its no good (tried and it doesnt pick up much at all with the lights flashing)

[sacpinplayer]

YES, please continue the narration.


Mike

[logicprobe]

Do y'all think I should continue adding comments when needed?

Definitely! I think it's GREAT!

[Tony Junior]

Okay guys and gals, ol' blabber-mouth here will continue doing just that!

[DiskDevil]

Excellent work Tony!! The added narration helps to understand what is going on or fixin' to happen. I knew when you finally got it going that you would do a great job!!
