Entry: Another Experiment, Dr. Karloff! Saturday, July 10, 2004



So.  My computer hasn't got an imput for analog video or does it!  I'm still working on that.  I rememer the Dazzle but I am trying to see if my multimedia computer is going to cooperate with my theory of work-arounds.  I now know that if you're not digital vid you're needing conversioin.  With streaming media I cannot grab clips like the old days.  Streaming media requires another software to grab.  It's readily available for another fee.  There are almost no clips to download of politically correct material.

Warning!  Don't search for "video clips" or you'll find much more than you bargained for.  I actually have a plan.  Being bi-platform (someone will undoubtably read that the wrong way...    ; )

I have a plan to record some QT on my Mac with a PC floppy (small bit, eh!) and see if I can codec my way into Window's Movie Player nirvana.

So far, I have had a very easy time putting in pictures and working with transitions and effects.
It took about 4 false starts.  A low number for me.  To lengthen the time of the shot you just stretch it like a cell, etc. You just shift the icons.  At 29.97 (read 30) frames per second [fps] (that's in the real world and not just stringing stills on WMM2) a real set up would be 180 for one minute.  Why I remember when the editors would just hold up the film and try not to get entangled in it.  And we complain...

Well, singing out for yet another night of midnight oil; but now the project is no longer the mastodon ahead of me.

"Film is truth at 24 frames per second" - Jean Luc Goddard

" Still pictures hold the average viewer on a website for 30 seconds whereas video holds the viewer for an average of 9 minutes!With video, the viewer is 72% more likely to buy your product or service."
- American Demographics Research Company

Video and film have different rates of individual frames displayed in one second.
Film runs at 24 frames per second and video runs at 30 frames per second.
This difference of six frames per second is one of the most difficult properties of a video to
film transfer to over come.
