FYI - Same Song Project: 2020 (tag)

While BINGO rounds never truly end, refreshing them every so often doesn't seem like a bad idea. The community anniversary (JANURY 30-ish) is a good target and aligns with last time.
So that means you have some warning and plenty of time to finish your Round 2 cards! :D
Check in here when you have a BINGO!

Please take a moment to review the Round 2 Prompt List and offer suggestions (additions/removals) for Round 3.


What else has been going on? How is vidding going for you?

I'm like auremcalendula and make subclips within my editing software (Vegas in my case). So no rerendering required. Although depending on source format I might have to convert it to load it into Vegas.

I do have a source prep process that I can make clips as part of, but generally all I do is trim credits there (I basically follow the process at https://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/, which is very old and based on the idea you will be ripping your own source!)

I see! For me clipping is mostly about organization-- labeling scenes with characters/content so they're easy to find, and once I have the source chopped up and labeled I can use it for multiple projects without redoing the prep work. I think DVR is capable of making subclips but they wouldn't carry over into new projects.

I once tried loading full episodes/movies into my editor during an early attempt at learning to vid, but the system couldn't handle that much content. I have a better laptop and software now, so I might have to give it a try again.

Is ripping from DVDs considered out of date already? Because that's how I've gotten all my sources so far...

[caramarie]

That makes sense! I have ended up with some giant project files with eg all the robot shows I vid, so that I can make multi vids as well as single fandom vids off of that. It takes ages to open those projects, haha. (In theory I can import the subclips from one file into another; in practice if there is more than like a movie's worth of clips Vegas crashes ...)

I do still rip most of my source, but I know a lot of people don't :D And more and more often now things don't even get released on DVD ... ;;

[justanorthernlight]

Yeah, with the free software I initially tried using, even trying to adjust clips got super laggy when the source was longer than ~8 minutes, so that definitely affected my approach to vidding. I think DaVinci Resolve can handle bigger stuff without those issues, but I still like the organizational perks of clipping :)

I suppose DVDs will eventually go the way of VHSs, but I'll never really be a fan of the content-as-a-service entertainment model.
