vidding_livejournal_ark2 | Mar. 5th, 2005

I've been working on this vid for ages, and I'm so happy I finally finished it. I've been watching music videos forever, and I tried to incorporate my favorite methods of vidding into this, such as continual movement by using short clips, associating important moments with strong beats, cutting rapidly to drumbeats, linking elements of external and internal motion, etc. I'd really love some constructive criticism. Enjoy!

Video title: I'll Be There For You
Song: "Poprocks and Coke" by Green Day
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Harry/Hermione (pretty much friendship, but it can be shippy too)
Summary: Harry and Hermione will always be there for each other, through thick and thin.
Disclaimer: All clips are copyright Warner Bros and JK Rowling. As are the characters. I just like to play with them :)

I have the video in two sizes:

There For You small (7.62 MB)

There For You large (16 MB)

Feedback will be hugged until it bursts. Then I'll spell-o-tape it back together and hug it some more ;)

I think I posted this before a long time ago, but I thought I would again. I keep seeing videos that have the "DivX" logo appearing in the bottom right-hand corner. It's easy to turn off, but kind of tricky to find. You only have to do it once & it won't reappear. The logo is simply a default setting with the DivX codec. Ok, here's how to get rid of it:

1. Go to the Programs folder (or wherever DivX was installed to)
2. DivX folder
3. DivX Codec folder
4. Decoder Configuration Utility (also just called "config" in some versions)
5. Quality Settings tab
6. Check the box labeled "Disable logo" & press OK

You can also turn it off from the Start Menu (I'm using Windows):

Start Menu --> All Programs --> DivX --> DivX Codec --> Decoder Configuration Utility (or "config") --> Quality Settings --> Disable Logo

And that's it. :)

[edit] If you ever update the codec, then it has to be turned off again. (thanks for the reminder
