I’ll do it on monday!

Well since my thousander club progress is revolving around this editing stuff I decided to put it into both video projects and time management catagories.

I have to say getting back on the horse after months of inactivity on the project makes things a little rocky to start.  I didn’t remember where I was, or what I had done (there are a few edits that are seamless enough that I couldn’t remember) So I started on another segment a little further up.

So far i’ve gotten about an hour crunched down to about 25 minutes (give or take), of course this wasn’t all tonight.  In fact tonight all I got was crunching down 2 minutes down to about a minute and a half.  Not really that great for progress.  I was having trouble with my video editing software, it keeps crashing (now more than ever).  I don’t know why, it’s either junk I installed since then or it’s the registry change I made (Yes I know you shouldn’t just mess with the registry, but it’s a small change and shouldn’t be a problem to change back).  In any case I need to change that back to see if it had any impact.  If not then I guess it will just crash alot.  An interesting thing happens though, I can still edit video stuff when it has crashed (well when the error window pops up), and it saves and everything, so I don’t know what the problem is.

I’m using Ulead’s Media Studio Pro 7 with mpeg2 editing and all.  Of course the file itself is just in divx not in mpeg2 — This was to keep the size managable.  Although now the first part i’m working on is in a large divx file, might should have split them up, and might still do later.

As far as 1000′er club status, I have to say, I was a little late, I was supposed to start at 9pm and end at 11pm for 2 hours.  Well me and my dad managed to watch an episode of an old 60’s tv series called “The Time Tunnel” and it went over 9, so I instead focused on continuing with my game programming (starcatcher).  Then I started at 10, then it started crashing on me, and then finally towards 11, I started gettin some work done, finally ending at around 11:30 or so.  So with all the trouble this has caused me, I think i’ll go ahead and cheat a little and give myself 2 hours.

2 / 1000 video editing hours.  that’s .002%
