    Long awaited update. Again.

    So, what have I been doing recently?

    Well, for starters, I spent the weekend putting this video together.

    This is the children's program for the Teaching Parents' Association.  It's a weekend-long homemade version of the children's institute (pretty much), the one that Randy, Eunice, Melissa and Shiopei came down to Wichita to work at.  I was charged with chasing kids around with a camera and putting it all together into a memorable package for the parents to watch at the end and for the staff to keep.

    For those of you who've worked with me in video, here are the nitty-gritty details:  I used After-effects Windows Movie Maker on the Alien-baby.  Why Windows Movie Maker?  Well, after 3 years, I still don't have a decent editing program on my laptop, and I didn't want to head to the university to do my editing.  This is the first time I had used WMM, and the last.  It'd be great for home use, I'll give it that.

    Oh yeah... and something that seems to be a theme in my videos, can you detect where the music was spliced together?  I've been told I'm rather skilled at that.  Give it a listen.  It's spliced twice.

  • Well, I don't know my Adobe Premiere very well but, I have played with these two programs a little and they can't be much worse than Movie Maker.

    Adobe Premiere to Avidemux: (http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/) 
    Premier is state of the art real-time non-linear video editing for any
    format including High Definition (HD). Supports 16-bit color
    resolution, GPU accelerated rendering for faster effects and even
    advanced DVD authoring. On the other hand, Avidemux
    provides Windows, Mac, and Linux users with an easy-to-use open source
    tool for DVD/DivX converting and editing. Avidemux also has scripting
    support for automation and even offers DVD authoring with the addition
    of the open source software, dvdauthor.

    and last but not least, I found this on Wiki to sink your teeth into.

    Give them a shot and if they don't work for you, remind me to bring my Premiere CD back to the states with me.
