Question: Preparing to vid.

[paraka]

Hi everyone,

I have a general question about how people prepare themselves to start a vid. When I first started vidding, if I had a vid idea I'd open up my editing program and just start inserting clips (not always with the best results :S). I'm getting into the habit of writing notes now before I even open an editing program. I try to think of what the storyline is going to be, and then divide the song up and make notes about what clips/scenes as well as what story arcs go where.

I'm still new at it though, so I was wondering what other people do in preparation, and if you have any advice for pre-editing work that can be done.

Thanks!

I have some DivX Video Files that I would like to use for vidding but I can't upload them into my either of my vidding programs (Movie Marker and HT Video Editor). Does anyone know how I can make these files into regular .avi files so that I can use them with my software?

Any help you can offer would be most appericated. Thanks.
