Done a little early(I recorded most of it in the early afternoon, though I had to wait for the junior events to conclude in Quebec and getting information about the men’s competition in Taipei was a huge pain) so I could have the Olympics closing ceremony on now. Or at least as much of it as NBC deigns to show. (Grrrr.) August 6-12, 2012
Let’s see if I can finish this up tonight…my head started throbbing so badly this afternoon I went for the painkillers and I was drowsy all through the editing of this: July 16-22, 2012
At one point yesterday I thought this might prove undoable, because all the videos for China & Korea arrived on Sunday, and it was a long process watching enough of them to get news without the scoring protocols available(or even the scores in the case of Korea, though at least I had the placements). But after a final scramble when I finally got the top three from Lyon, I finished it this morning and thankfully was able to leave it converting to usable format immediately before going to work, though uploading after stumbling home through the snow took a little longer than expected
This one I started working on earlier still, but I didn’t have much time for it this weekend anyway. Still despite MovieMaker crashing four times while editing and then a fifth time during my initial attempt to convert I got it uploaded around nine-and then it would not process. I finally slept on it and woke up to find it finally had processed, and just finished the annotations.
I actually started this one Sunday, in hope I might figure out some way to get most of the work for these done on the weekends since I may not that long from now find myself working full time. I haven’t yet, but at least this one got uploaded early enough I was willing to risk using some recap footage from this week’s Battle of the Blades, though after seeing the performances blocked this morning I wasn’t using footage from they themselves. Thankfully it wasn’t blocked. It’s not annotated yet; that’ll be done after Dancing With the Stars. ETA: Finished the annotations, discovered in the process I forgot the last two titles. Well, it wasn’t like they were completely necessary…
Once again the video initially failed to convert, and when I had decided to risk using footage from last night’s Battle of the Blades premiere, and another Yu-Na Kim vid while I was at it. But at least neither got the video blocked, and I can do tags for this during the commercial breaks for Dancing With the Stars.
