2nd Level: Technical Vidding Tips

[permetaform]

Learning this stuff is all in how much of a perfectionist you're willing to be...

[Specific]
- Read the Principles of Audio in Vidding, I cannot recommend these tips enough, the tips start in the middle of the page and dammit, I need to quote this part...

The basic principles of matching audio and visuals are pretty simple... it's just that lots of people don't pay enough attention to their audio. Once you actually start really listening to the song it all falls into place.

err, hey. *waves wildly* just friended your journal recently, because your vidding tips have proved so useful, and was wondering - what the hell are keyframes and how do you use them? (the link to that is broken. XD)

(and hopefully you have email comments enabled? *crosses fingers*)

oh! heh, see, during the whole frienditto fiasco I went through and locked down everything so I could sort out later what I actually wanted left un-locked 'cause I didn't have the time to do it precisely right then and there...and when I was unlocking it I'd decided to just make a new post for it and accidentally deleted it. I still have a visual copy on my computer but I need to transfer it into a new LJ entry.

...ummm, give me until Wednesday? alot of things are due this week. =)

ooh, no problem? and, ohman, can't believe that I said that and forgot to thank you for making the newbie guide in the first place. still going through all the links, and I think I'd be completely lost without it. so, yes, thank you so much for that - you've made things a little less bewildering. *g*

[permetaform]

meh, no worries.

Take everything you read with a grain of salt though; how others vid might not be how you vid. =) Don't be a delicate artistic flower.

Hi, I was wondering if you still had the little tut on keyframes? On your big vidding list when you click on keyframes its says that there is no entry.

Thanks.
