Well, this stopped me in my tracks. You're forgetting one of the unspoken rules of vidding: The vid will fill the music space available, and then some. The secret is the judicious use of your clips.
Well yes - I know this. I've just forgotten how to do it. I'm staring at the timeline and NOTHING IS HAPPENING and it is starting to freak me out cause I should not be staring at a timeline and it should not be freaking me out and this is not my beautiful house and this is not my beautiful wife.
Yeah - what is supposed to happen is I look at an expanse on the timeline and go "Oh dear - I have 24 seconds after this lyric before the music changes and I do X" and then I briefly think that 24 seconds is a long time BUT then I forget that it is 24 seconds because I am vidding and 4 hours later I look up and I have something great there but I need 6 more seconds before the change to really get my point across.
This is not happening. This is when I start panicking. I have forgotten how to vid. I can't make anything look right and what does look right is only there for a second and nothing is happening and everything is static and it is the worst feeling in the world. Well not the worst - but it is a really terrible feeling to have while you are doing something you are supposed to enjoy. I am staring at a timeline and it is looking back to me and I swear its soul is EMPTY.
The less we talk about the HD the better - I'm replacing stuff I can right now and the other stuff I will just deal with as it comes up. The most pain is clips and project files that disappeared. But it could have been worse.
