Daily Objective

I'm hoping my dad will get that ADC over x-mas, thats something he would do. but in the meantime i can continue ripping dvds onto the computer.

Daily Objective

Last class i tried again to import footage through the deck and it still doesn't work. Not that i tried anything new i just wanted to make sure there wasn't something i didn't try the last couple times. And there wasn't. But at this point i'm just waiting for my dad to but that ADC. And it's not like he's buying it just for this class, cuz we would be able to use it at our house too. But still its gonna be $100-200 at least so he's trying to make sure that there's not a cheaper way to do this. I keep telling him there's not but he wants to see for himself. And once we get that then i'll be set because i know how to use it. The guy we went to for this let me import footage from our camera onto his mac (w/ final cut pro).

Daily Objective

Well my dad and i had a meeting with this video expert last night and what he used to import footage from our camera was an analog digital converter. im guessing that the school doesn't have one of those, but my dad wants to buy one. this guy had a mac and was using final cut pro the whole time, so the adc works with macs. i just hope it works with pcs too so i can do it at home. i think i'll try to use the deck again just cuz it can provide the median for the camera and the computer. Because the only way to import is through a firewire, which my camera has no outlet. So the adc has outlets for a cord connecting to my camera and also a firewire outlet which made it work. So unless the school has something like that then i might just have to wait untill we buy that, and i have no idea how long that might take, but i'll try to make it happen asap.

Daily Objective

I rendered my video yesterday but i forgot to come back and check on it and save it and all that so I have to do it again today. So we'll see how far i get. but now i can at least bring in all my other videos that my dad had made of the footage from my video camera so i can get all that stuff on here now too, since i know the dvd ripping process.

Daily Objective

I've managed to rip one of my dvds using that special software. But i'm not sure how to save it to the computer because i can't recall it from anywhere so if it autosaved i can't find it. Past this point its difficult to play around with the program. Once i find out how to save it to the computer then i can copy it to a hard drive and then transfer it to my computer and get started with my project. I still haven't given up with my camera and still need to meet with alec, because there's alot of footage on there that i need and really don't want to re-film, it's just that my after-school scedule has been crazy lately. And I'm also going to take my camera up to snowmass this weekend to film some snowboarding and maybe do some athlete and coach interviews.
