Entry: Movies are a lot of work! Wednesday, July 21, 2004



I finally got up my nerve to add the narration and was fairly pleased with the audio.  Could've done better if I had a few more lifetimes and no connections to humanity.  The pictures had a tricky thing:  you can't move their location to another file on your hardrive at all.  The program gets indigestion and you can't get rid of the big red X frames til you replace the file to its original location with its original name.and then cut it out.  That provided a sour point at the end.  I fought with it and conquered. 

The uploading depends on you saving it to wmv file not a project file.  Also, the files are large even for small projects.  There are many issues to cover with server hosting of multimedia files such as these.
There are servers specifically for this type of file with Windows - currently its $59 a year.  I found one with 10 mg for $3.95.  Found one for free, but of course the sign in didn't work and 24 hours later they had not contacted me.  Finally just put mine on comcast because of concern that NEIU server might have issues with the file size.  I could access comcast's info faster.  Wanted to finish and go on to my next 2 pieces of work.  And someday, I will be done.

Can't tell that I'm tired and cranky, eh?  My kids can.
