Well, one of the most critical bits of footage I needed somehow failed to get processed correctly - I do not know how this happened - and ended up as a useless 35 kb file, but that's nothing world-ending. I'll just go home and resave it after class today. So glad I broke down and upgraded to Quicktime Pro. So much stress gone, right there.

Random cool thing of the day: As I finished pigging out on breakfast in the cafeteria (omg biscuit and bacon and egg and taters and WAFFLE), this guy came up to me, and, indicating my Ded Bob shirt, said "I know the guy who does that". Guy traveled with him for a couple years, apparently, and talked about how in Colorado, he ended up being positioned such that he saw the whole Ded Bob Sho five times a day for the whole Renfest. Got to know it by heart. XD

And that was about all he had to say - after that he meandered back to his table, but it was still a cool little encounter. :D

Now my files are imported, and it's time for me to get to work.

Funny you write another post about your battle against video editing tools.

It was just now that, out of morbid curiosity, I went and opened Windows movie maker to see if the old "freezing while loading" problem was still there. Lo and behold, it loaded! Unfortunately the collections were empty, so I went around to importing AC all over again. 3 times, because WMM would freeze just as it was done.

Now, WMM only freezes when I scroll down the clip collection. I wonder if that's an improvement...

XD And they will continue until I am done. (Which... may be today! With any luck. I'll have to ask my instructor how to save the whole thing out as a .mov file, I appear not to be able to do that... but maybe if I save the whole project to my hard drive I can save it out from QT at home.)

... Wow. Well, I guess it's something like an improvement. But, honestly? WMM seems kind of like a POS editing program in general. XD

I don't know what's the deal with WMM now XD;; I had made a previous music video with it, and it worked fine for the most part XD;; It's pretty intuitive, and I like that in a program. If not for the whole thing with the updates, I can only think it would have been fine.
