Actually, I was still awake at 3:00 am. I was working on a video last night until about midnight. I spent three hours trying to go to sleep and all I could think about was changes I could make to the video. Not good. :shock:

uploading video?

Postby spressman » Sat May 19, 2007 7:27 pm

I've probably looked right past it somewhere here, but is there a quick guide for uploading videos to the Gallery? Preferred format (mpg, etc?).

thanks,
steve

Found the uploading directions elsewhere on the site -- knew it had to be there somewhere.

DOes the video contest entry have to include video or can it be a slideshow with stills only. I'd like to enter with another (and already have entered with a slide show)?
Happy Editing,

Time Limit 4:00

Postby Maxine370 » Thu May 31, 2007 10:33 pm

Okay, so I felt the need to enter for real...but with the lack of time (due to other jobs and other obligations..a 2 year old and a 3+ year old) I couldn't create something new. SO I actually took a part of a client's 40th birthday video and replaced the pictures with ones of ME...eek even though I've still got 3 years to go.

Anyway, I've cut it down from 14 minutes but can't get quite to 4:00...it runs about 4:30 now.

How firm is the 4:00 time limit? I would have a tough time trimming it more due to the length of the songs and the placement of some of the effects.

When it's posted you'll get to see baby pictures of moi, double eek.
Happy Editing,

Beth

I can certainly live with a 4:30 video, Beth. (Obviously, our goal is to keep from having to work through dozens of 2 hour entries!)

Ron? Chuck? You guys got any objection?

No objection here. A few seconds is OK.

I don't mind either. At worst you would just get marked down for being over the time limit.

Thanks guys. I really wanted to enter this one since I was really happy with it. Of course once I changed the pictures to my own it wasn't quite the same (the editing style and effects really were personalized to the client's pics) and I trimmed a lot of the "story" out but I think it's contest entry worthy even if it's not a winner.

I uploaded it but I'm not sure if I got the thumbnail right. Couldn't tell since it is not viewable yet. let me know if I need to redo the thumbnail.
Happy Editing,

Your thumbnail is not a thumbnail by definition (it's 720X480 - 120 Kbytes). Technically, it should be around 100x70 or so (I can fix it).

Coincidently, your video is the same size. This is really not a problem, just wondered if you knew that or not. My Firefox browser doesn't like larger videos when the playing size is @ 320x240 (it gives me the top left 320x240 corner for some odd reason), so I resized it to its proper resolution as posted.
