Yesterday I started my 15-day "Insane December Vidding Project." Essentially I'm copying the idea behind NaNoWriMo and applying it to vidding. (If you want more information, go here.)
Anyhow, I've put my first vidlet up at my LJ here, and I'm trying to include comments on the things I'm learning technically. I'm using Final Cut Pro, which is a brand new program to me, so most of what I'm doing is very basic, but there's a lot of playing around and random clicking (and abuse of transitions!). I thought that someone else who is new to the program might find these little bits of information useful, so I'm posting here. They're all going to go into my memories each day, as well.
I also haven't figured out how to export a decent-sized, decent-looking file that plays on both PC and Mac, and in my searching online I haven't been able to find anything that's worked (I've tried a lot of different exports; I've got about 30 versions of the same 30-second clip). The export I'm using now (QT Conversion>Save as QT File>3ivxD4 4.5.1 codec settings) is producing a pretty good quality clip, but my minute-long export is 14 MB, which seems awfully large. If anyone has any recommendations on a good way to export out of FCP, I'd be grateful.
