* currently writing 5 fics
* have promised 2 more that I haven't started

* *cough* Has anyone seen the promo vid for [profile] artword? Just wondering whether you think I could get away without writing anything too smutty? Like, I'm writing a follow-up to "memory in a touch" for it, but I want to do that thing where they just wake up the enxt morning or whatever. I think the vid fills in the blanks anyway. Opinions?

And another bites the dust! Another one bites the dust!
And another one's gone. Another one's gone!
Another one bites the dust!
Hey, we're gonna get you too.

Sometimes those Queen songs just speak to me, y'know? *snicker*

Yeah, dang those Queen songs!! :p

Interesting fact: You know if you play that particular part of that Queen song backwards it says "It's fun to smoke marajuana". I kid you not!

I is finished btw!! *dances* A whole 18.1mb, 4min25sec of craziness!
Now for question time for the 'Queen' (OMG! *gasp* Terrible pun!) of vid... WHat's the deal with vids? I've heard people thank people for beta-ing their vids...should I be doing that? ...and is there somewhere people stash their vids or do most people just do the YSI thing? I have a filefront account that I am yet to use...?? Just wondering...

Yay! Can't wait to see it!

I don't know the official policy on thanking beta people for vids coz I haven't used one yet. Really probably ought to start though. My instinct is that if I had someone beta a vid, I'd thank them. After all, that's what i've always done with fic.

Stashing vids? Well, all of mine are hosted by [livejournal.com profile] illman. She is very generous and hosts vids for a whole bunch of SGA vid makers. If you email me at derry667@hotmail.com then I can send you an email address where you can contact her and discuss the matter with her. She really is very generous. I don't know anything about filefront, I'm afraid.

But yay! You've made you first vid! This is the thin end of the wedge, you do realise, don't you? *snicker*

hehe! I meant should I have someone beta it, because I haven't, but I think you answered that anyway. :p

Maybe I'll just load it on YSI or filefront and then see if it's good enough that someone would want to host it.

My email is starrylizard [at] gmail.com though. I keep meaning to forward my LJ comments there and display my email on the info page, but I'm lazy nd forgetful, so it doesn't seem to happen.

Oh and one more question please. *grin*
When I play back your movies or most other peoples, they play with a black band top and bottom (same as the episodes), but when I play mine, it takes up the whole screen. I think it's stretching it out a bit to do that. Did you do something to make your vids the size they are? Is there a box you tick or something? (I'm saving as large...could that be it?)
Thanks Derry

You are probably right about the stretching. WMM has a default "aspect ratio" of 4:3. You need to change it to 16:9 which are the vid dimensions most clips come in (the HDTV widescreen).

Click on "tools", then select "options", then select "advanced" and then it gives you option of which aspect ratio you want 4:3 or 16:9.

You want 16:9 for most of the clips that are downloaded, but you have to watch out because there *are* some clips out there in 4:3 and if you get a mix of the two different aspect ratios, it can look weird. (mind you "weird" can work - I used both aspect ratios in "I Can't Wait" because I only had the promo clips in 4:3).

Good luck!

Thanks! I'm sure it would have taken me forever to find that little box to check. It looks much better that way. :D *high fives you*

Hee! Just noticed your icon. :p Yeah baby! Love it!

But yay! You've made you first vid! This is the thin end of the wedge, you do realise, don't you? *snicker*

Hmmm well I did hear a song yesterday that screamed Kavanagh vid, but I'm not addicted...really...even if I did just spend three nights straight in front of WMM... :p
