Video Editing

[claymore]

I have captured some video clips. stuck them into the timeline
added music, added captions etc and rendered it then saved it to my hard drive as asked by the software. I then played it as invited and get a horrible blotch of colour - a bit like one of those infra-red heatseeking images. Anyone got any ideas before I resort to asking Von Carlsberg, the offsprings intended, I hope one of you can help me whilst I still have some pride intact.

There's a whole host of possible reasons. What software did you use to render? Have you checked the quality settings you are rendering/saving under?

Video editing and saving is cpu and hard drive speed dependent, and if anything else is running at the same time, and accessing cpu or hard drive it can stop whole blocks of the video being saved correctly, so when saving, turn off every possible application and service.

Most video nuts have a separate (very high speed) hard drive dedicated to editing and saving video, so that nothing affects the write speed to the disk.

Does this have anything to do with the Sex thread ?

Further to Brendan's reply, video editing and rendering is very memory (RAM) intensive - so close down any unnecessary programs before opening up the video editing software and leave the PC alone once rendering has started. Also check the codec (COmpressor/DECompressor) being used and the settings for it. ...Have used Adobe Premier with good results but have also used a free program called MovieXone, downloaded from the Net which was pants /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Very difficult to edit with ordinary computer software. Just not enough space on the disc and lots of other problems.

If you really want to do it you can find a 2nd hand Casablanca for a couple of hundred pounds and the end results will be as good as a professional. (Or as good as your abilities)

The digital 'Cassies' are superb - no loss of quality and they 'render' pretty fast. The Audio is a little limiting but the two extra tracks that are availble with the sych track make it possible to do an OK sound mix... frequently cost less than some software.
