Umm...Yeah And yet, it's still better than an Uwe Boll Movie.
So there I am, setting out to make a Kingdom Hearts II AMV, and it's all going great. -I've got my song chosen - Aerosmith's 'Amazing.' -I've got DVD quality recordings of Kingdom Hearts II for the clips I need. - And I've got an idea of how I want the music video to flow. And so I set off, not with the beginning of the video, but then end, as those of you who have heard 'Amazing' know it has a nice, steady beat near the end with just music and no lyrics whatsoever. It is this point that has inspired me to make my video. It's going great, I'm finding the clips I need, and setting them to the beat... BUT: I can't check the timing of the music to the video without re-encoding the video beforehand, otherwise the music is treated as seperate for each seperate clip in the timeline/storyboard. So I encode, and I re-encode again, and again and every time I do, the quality lessens each time. I decide to solve this problem, by editing the timing according to the timeline. Basically, - Encoding the video - Adding the music - Watching the last clip of the encoded video for when the next clip should come in - Deleting the encoded video - Cutting the required amount from the last clip of the timeline - Adding on the next clip The problem with this however, is that the further down the timeline the clip is, the longer the program takes to encode it, thus resulting in the last few clips being nothing more than still images. Thoughts - Perhaps it is because I'm encoding to a DVD Format? Solution - Try encoding in DIVX format. Success - No, because whilst the last few clips no longer freeze, the program for some reason adds in extra frames which I had already cut from the video. Thoughts - Perhaps I have too many clips in the library for the program to sort through. Delete all unrequired videos from the Library and keep those that only relate to the clips in the timeline. Success - No, because everything is working fine, no freezing, no extra frames, but now for some reason, the video is no longer in synch with the music. Wit's end my friends, wit's end.
Now, I will assume that those of you who have clicked on this Topic have some knowledge of 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' or 'MST3K.' But do you know about 'RiffTrax.' Basically, it's a site that provides downloadable Audio Commentaries for movies. The Catch - You have to pay for them. The Reward - The commentaries are made by Michael J Nelson of 'MST3K' fame and feature guest appearances by Kevin Murphy (Voice of 'Tom Servo' of 'MST3K') and Bill Corbett (Voice of 'Crow' of 'MST3K'). And for those of you who won't spend cash, they do provide Free Samples on the website which have also been uploaded on Youtube... So here they are: Crossroads Cocktail Triple X The Fifth Element Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Road House 1 Road House 2 X-Men
