So I am in a mood to make videos, only one little problem with that. The movie maker on my desktop has decided to not work at all for me.

But on the laptop does, but the screen is broken badly so I have to hook it to an external monitor, our extra monitor is old and crappy. Brightness and such is set to 100% and still it is so dark I can not watch or do much with making videos on it. So if I want to make a video I have to unhook the monitor from my desktop, then change it back when I am done because all my other stuff is on the desktop.

 

The other problem is that half of my videos are on one computer and the rest are on the other, the laptop dosent have a big enough hard drive to hold all my videos so I have to pick what I want then move them to the laptop, make the video then delete them when I am all done.

 

I know I am just rambling, hoping that if I gripe about it the mood will pass.

sorry to hear that. It sucks when you want to do something and it just isn't working out.

I have ideas for at least two videos that I want to do... one of which will take clips from season 2. But see, when my previous computer died, I took it to best buy and had them transfer everything from the hard drive over to an external, and they did, which was great! But of course somewhere along the line from being transferred from the dead computer to the external hard drive then to the new computer and laptop... they aren't able to be made into videos. The bottom half of the screen turns green and the actual video is scrunched up on the top half, but it only does that with the files transferred from the old computer. Files I've downloaded since are just fine for making videos. And I don't want to take the time to re download all those things again. it's frustrating!
So I know where your sitting! It sucks!

I am just waiting for taxes, then the laptop screen gets fixed and I am getting a TB backup hard drive (It is more like a jump drive, hooks into the USB port.) Hopefully I wont run out of space for a while with that.

I am wondering if it has something to do with the compression they used to transfer your files that caused that problem with your video.

I did get one video made, and to toot my own horn I am really happy with how it turned out. It's in my journal if you want to check it out.
A small warning, it's a Cam/Sam vid.
