@Crimson Clover No worries! Thanks! It's great you found the video cool, and your advice is kind of a compliment. I can't articulate how. xD
Regarding your points, in actual fact -ha!- you reminded me I forgot to add something: I left it in letterbox format
intentionally! I'm still an old school dinosaur using Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for most of the work, and Movie Maker for certain adjusts - I could've stretched it to widescreen, but I decided the letterbox format, I don't know, counter-intuitive as it may sound I kind of liked it in a Cyclops' visor sort of way and to just go with it - knowing full well I'd get called out for it. :)
As for vid quality, thanks for the tips! I was ripping straight from the DVDs but my ripping software....(Full DVD Ripper 9)
The main problem is I have to then run the file through Movie Maker to save it in a format compatible with Movie Maker 6.0.
For this video I
thought it was time I jump ahead in tech, I think I'd downloaded Handbrake.....But, ugh...confusion settled in if I recall. I know I tried a different vid maker too, might've been Sony Vegas but... I'm no stranger to putting in the work to scale a learning curve and bustin' through confusion or whatever, I'm nothing if not determined, only ephermerally daunted, when the need/priority/desire is there. But, *sigh* I felt more a pull just to make the vid - it wasn't yet the time. I accepted my self-imposed lot.
And cool! : ) I'll give your vids a look sometime.
