Personally, I use Player 8. If you don't have Real Player installed:

(Windows and Mac)

I had the butchered copy of this song around. This vid turned out more as an exercise in editing since I hadn't done fades in awhile. There is a DivX version (clearer video) of this vid but it's at 20+megs and I'm having problems with large file uploads.

Thanks to those here who had encouraged tinkering more with effects. They may not have been the most effective on this vid but I did learn some new things through experimentation.

Mac Capture Device...

Okay, we think we've got this goofy thing surrounded... tzikeh thought to look at something I hadn't even known could be a problem...

The reason my vid looked so lousy at VividCon was that, even thought my capture PROGRAM says it can capture at full size, the capture DEVICE (an InterView) can only capture at half size. Gr.

So now I need a new capture device. Just because the things are so bloody expensive, I'd prefer not to have to buy a digital camcorder. My InterView was about $100, so if I can get a new OSX/G5 compatible firewire bridge for about that or a little more, I'd be a really happy camper.


Suggestions?
