@Rob you need to stop now, this rain is never ending here.

OK Happy Days are here again... 30 minutes in the freezer then rubber gloves and a big pair of pliers and The Atlantis is off the Sirius II! The Atlantis still works and a little McGyver and the Sirius II is also working again! :rock:
 
@Rob Fisher i missed that mishap with the Atlantis
I wonder how it got stuck in the first place?
Anyhow, glad you got it all working again

As for the video - super
Loved the music - such suspense!
Great

It has been stuck for sometime but today was clean everything day and I wanted to change coils and give the REO's and Atlantis's an ultrasonic bath to the issue came to a head. ;-)
 
I need to find a video editing suite that doesn't cost eight million rand and is easy to use and that has a few decent creative tools... tried a few online ones today with no success... downloaded a couple and they all sucked... back to Microsoft Movie Maker... it's simple but doesn't do everything I need it to do... any recommendations?

Looking pretty good already. I've only every really used Adobe Premiere (and After Effects) extensively, but that is quite an investment and it has a fairly high learning curve.

I have played around with Premiere Elements a bit (previous versions) and it is a decent basic package - my mom used it to create DVDs from home video back in the day, so it's pretty easy to use, but still quite powerful.

I found this nice comparison/review of the some of the best affordable packages $50-$100. I checked it out and it seems like a decent comparison - I've played around with a few of those and they were really decent. Maybe you'll find something in there that could work for you :D

Best Video Editing Software Review 2015
 
@Rob Fisher - that porcupine video is so cool!
Music choice once again is so appropriate for a porcupine.... Its so "tingly and prickly" lol
I love the Menthol Ice section ha ha
And "Rob Fisher - Porcupine video" - lol

Nice video Rob, I like!, but geez that background music" :eek:
 
Rob, thats what i admire about you
No messing around!

The frustration of the black edges and the lack of tools was driving me to drink... but I'm sure this is not going to be as easy as they make out... but I will persevere because video is the way forward to store holidays and special occasions and then watch them back on the TV later... oh and most important to make vaping videos! ;-)
 
If I may, I've selected a more appropriate track for your next Porcupine video:

Its so funny you say that Rob, i used to despise video
But now with things like youtube and increasing bandwidth speeds and caps, video is becoming so much easier to consume
I would also love to get into video more and i have actually never made a nice video with captions and edits and music etc
I have tons of video clips from my camera over the years from holidays and events etc
But they just sit on my harddrives and seldom get seen - if at all

Same actually goes for my photos

I really need to do something about it. But it never seems urgent enough ;-)

Most video tools do have a bit of a learning curve, but since you've already done this with Movie Maker it should be pretty easy going - the basics of all these tools are the same and these consumer level products are really geared towards making it easy to get into.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing some more PV PV (porcupine video personal vaporizer) movies :D

You may indeed... only problem is that won't be allowed on the upload due to a licensing issue...but I will pay much more attention to background music in future... I only threw that track in because I was getting frustrated with the software and wanted to end my pain and misery. ;-)
 
Along with my purchase of my new Video Editing Suite (that is still downloading) I got some programs for my iPhone... been playing!

That's so cool Rob!
Ha ha - love the one with the breaking news
 
Nicely done Rob...I think soon you'll need a "Creative Corner" thread in addition to the Lounge :D

Also, you will need a Beret :p
 
Oh my word this software is too awesome! I installed it and pretty much pointed it to the directory with the pics and video and let it go itself and Boom! Decent Video. Still uploading to You Tube but will post it here as soon as it's ready!

And the rendering engine is like lightening! Finally a program that actually uses my new eight billion dollar chip set that had to be replaced recently!
 
Go Rob go!

I see a marvellous porcupine creation crawling out of your PC now....

Same video but this time I let Cyber Link do it! Much Better! Now I need to work out how to do everything else! ;-)

 
Looking good Rob :rock:

Awesome actually, considering this is a first run through - I'm sure we'll see some amazing PV movies before too long :D
