Hi hi! Can we talk? *chinhands*

So I'm settling down to my (second) favourite part of vidding, ( Read more... )

I am ever struggling with better organization for my favorite vids. Today I decided to make a bunch of imeem playlists with as many favorite vids of mine as I could find on them. They are really handy because now I can watch favorite vids no matter what computer I'm at! I will always keep hard copies of my absolute favorite vids, but I'm really digging this system right now. Especially since imeem's interface and quality is so great. Check it out: http://www.imeem.com/beerbad/videoplaylists/

Also, I got approved to do a website and new vid as my senior media studies project this semester. For this new vid I am going to try to step up my game and make something more complicated, faster and shinier than the vids I've done previously. I will be using DVD footage exclusively. Now, my question is this: Should I use my own hardware and software (Dell laptop with Ulead Video Studio 11) or use my school's media studies facilities (professional setup with DVD capturing, Mac desktops, and Final Cut Pro)? I am obviously more comfortable with using my own computer, but if the high-tech Mac setup is going to make making this vid easier and better, I'm willing to switch over.

I would really appreciate any suggestions/thoughts the vidders in this community might have regarding this. I'm hoping to make a choice relatively soon so I can go to it!

Wanna show a premiere (or nearly new) vid at VidUKon ?

Well, The upload facility is now up and working and we hope with no major issues.
So you can now go and upload your premieres.

Remember we're taking both Premieres and Nearly New but vids must NOT have been released before August 1st 2008. And Premieres will get the priority in the show.

To upload your Premiere or Nearly New :
- Go to Vidukon>Video Upload , choose "Premieres and Nearly New", click "Go" and fill the form and submit. Make sure you enter the right info as you won't be able to modify it later.
Once the form is submitted, please note the name of the files youor video should be named as. You need to fill out the form before uploading.

- When your files are renamed, followo the FTP Instructions and upload your vid.

Once your vid is uploaded on the server, you won't be able to see it. So make sure your FTP client uploaded the file entirely. If the upload is interrupted, just upload again.

If you encounter any problems, let us know here.

Happy upload ! :)

I am not entirely hopeful on hearing any good news on this situation, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I have just made the transition over from my rapidly fossilising XP desktop to a Dell Studio 17 laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB SATA HD, Windows Vista Home Premium w/SP1). The only version of Premiere I have is 6.0 (I know, I know. I think fossils are pretty?). I grabbed the Vista codec pack, too, just in case.

I can get the software to load. I can import my clips (no audio, encoded with Huffy). I can even actually edit them.

I cannot, however, preview or export. I am told:
"An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)."
and
"An error occurred. Error writing file (disk full?)."

I find it somewhat amusing that it has to tell me the same thing twice, the second time slightly more condensed, and that with "disk full?" it's like Premiere is asking me what the problem is. Like I know!

So is this a compatibility thing between Vista and Premiere 6.0, or is there perhaps something I have forgotten to do that I can do so that I could possibly start vidding again someday?

Here is my sixth response to thearchive2's challenges.
