Hey Mel,
I wanted to do some videos for my website. Just got
one uploaded finally today. I used the trial version
of Ulead VideoStudio 11. Corel makes it. Worked out
pretty good. I was able to put a title on it and speed
up the playback. I can add music too but am waiting on
permission to use a song. We'll see how that goes. I
matched the playback speed to the length of the song
just in case I get the go ahead. If you go to my
website and click on the video link, you can see it.
VideoStudio 11 is under 130 bucks.

used the `cobalt blues` as my sound track. all for fun.
getting cob webs off my digital canon movie maker.
bought a great book on digital movies by a national geographic
editor.
his best advice...get rid of junk on the camera..don't download
two hours of video, then save it to your hard drive. i am pre selecting
short images, then moving them over. using ms movie maker. simple
and easy.
i had a bad fire wire card in this new computer...got a new one at
tiger supply...works like a charm.
if there are folks with sage advice on filming pots, studios, kilns with
digital movie making equipment..please post at will.
i have at least a dozen people on board to film their kilns and
kiln buildings and shelters....i am excited to see how others have
solved the shelter problem.
i could not be more pleased with the response of folks with home built
kilns. and, what a mix, men, women, old, young, new ideas, old ideas,
college kilns, home/backyard kilns. so....we are really going to have
some great video. and, the written word will be just fine too.

We had some experience with movie maker recently. I like the way it handles
edits.

Dear Mel and Clayarters,
using a lower spec programme is great to get going, but you find =
frustration very quickly when the limitations of the programme stop yoiu =
being as creative as you would like to be.
This is not a commercial for Adobe, but if you want to put in the time =
to learn (steep curve, but worth it) a semi pro application, then the =
likes of Premiere Pro (PC and MAC) or Final Cut Pro (MAC) are the way to =
go. You will be very hard pressed to find the limits of these =
applications. If you are doing it for amusement and just fun then any =
lower spec app will suffice, but it is a bit like buying the right wheel =

For a higher, more professional level of video editing, take a look at
Adobe Premiere Pro or even perhaps Avid Express Pro or Avid Liquid 7.
All utilize IEEE 1394 connectivity. Lot's more money as you step up. You
just need to decide to what level you wish to go.

Hay Crew,
My last wife liked that phrase about things that come
down the pike so I took what came with when I got the
first Pentax Optio 60 a couple years ago and started
with a pretty basic ACDSee product that included a
video maker and another version with the W30 here last
year. One difference with the W30 is the video file is
in QuickTime which has to be converted to something
Windows Movie Maker can read. The ACDSee has a file
converter in it's Showtime. Having begun to be a
regular customer I was invited to bata test ACDSee Pro
2 last summer and got a deal for Christmas and
installed the Pro 2 $130+/-.

Doesn't that get kinda complicated to find out who
owns the copyright especially if some final DVD is
made for sale? How do we get the musicians cut to them
or is that collected bu their union?

If it lasts for more than 4 hours don't forget to call
someone.

Making movies is kind of a thrill... set up scenes are
a challenge but ya never know if you are gonna see
something else along the way so I keep my W30 on me at
all times. One neat feature is it goes underwater 15
meters for 2 hours.

So... who is the guy, I might see his book in the Book
Store in the Mid Town Mall. I doubt W*M carries it.

With all the video and still files I was down to 1%
free space on 64GB. so I had to do the back up to an
external 320GB. hard drive like Gail bugs us and got a
second 500GB with the Christmas bonus discount. If you
are also shooting RAW seems like a no-brainer,

I save everything I shot and import what I want into
movie maker and edit in there for now and I was
getting pretty good at it but for some reason my
ACDSee ShowTime took off so I'm kinda dead in the
water there.

I'm thinking of getting one of the Hard Drive Digicams
like the Sony with 30Gb. for around $500 and JVC one
for somewhat less but it doesn't have a Zeis lens

Not much new except for where I left off and that
changed before I shut down for the freeze...

And the other reason to keep a camera on hand, even
if it is a point and shoot, are those loveable
moments...

I used Adobe Premiere to produce the Peeler Film Series. For smaller
projects I use the newer version of Pinnacle 11 (Works with Vista). Avid
bought them out and it is a much better product than the older versions.
This is fun to think about. I started looking through old pictures of old
kilns we have built. My first salt kiln (80's) was in our backyard next to
the Chesty's Potato Chip factory in Terre Haute. When we were at the peak
and salting one night the police came by and told the neighbor's it was from
the factory. Later the fire Marshall came by and said, 'well you know more
about it than I do, just don't set the town on fire."
A lot of the kilns we have built have been from bricks scavenged from old
Indiana Bee Hive brick and tile kilns. My wife used to get so mad when I
used her 67' Newport to haul bricks around. Later she became a potter.
I'm looking forward to seeing this project grow and hope I can contribute to
it in some way.
Kilns are a big part of why I like to make pots.

Hello
Might I also suggest Sony's Vegas MovieStudio 8.0 which if you stay alert
for you can get on sale. I picked up a copy for $39.99 Canadian +taxes. It
is a very good program for editing and special effects. Has a built in
tutorial and also includes their DVD architect. You can even post on their
acidplanet.com web site. Another program if you want to convert old VHS,
8mm, VHS-C or HI8 is Honestech's VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe. It can also be had
as a very good buy.

Don Burroughs
