Time for Video Editing

So as promised, I just wanted to give you a quick updated on where I am at for my Christmas present to my family. After visiting my parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews this last weekend for Thanksgiving, I was able to bring back the old GL1, and some old Christmas tapes. The task at hand.. create the Gudmundson Christmas DVD. It’ll be pretty much just a DVD with old Christmas footage… maybe even some really old stuff depending on if I can get some equipment.. and thats about it. Nothing really too interesting I suppose -_-.

But apparently, everyone thinks that’d be a great Christmas gift so I’m going to do it. Cheap too.. At the same time, it’s making me want to get back into video editing.

When I was doing that crap in high school, I could work for hours on end because I was so into the projects and such. Even though I know I can’t really get into it right now, it is something that could be on the radar. Also.. maybe getting an iMac. I know Andrea would think that is an awesome idea, but I think we’ll just have to wait and see. I know I’ve been a long opponent to Macs in general let alone iMacs.. but for video editing.. I think they are pretty much the best machines out there… minus the G4s and all that crap. We’ll have to see if we can afford it later on down the line. That and Final Cut.

Any ways, I tested some of my captureing capabilities last night and realized I need a FireWire 4 to 6 point converter. It works fine on my Sony, but I think I’m going to try to do everything on Andrea’s computer.. since it’s a MacBook.. easy peasy stuff.

So after work today.. off to get an external hard drive, and some cables. I don’t want to spend anything over 200 bucks though. I might be in for a treat.

Bye.
