Re: Venturing into Cotty's territory--Video
From: "Cotty" On 13/11/10, Christine Aguila, discombobulated, unleashed: feel free to send the good-luck-video-gods my way. You got 'em :) I failed! Well, my 3 short video clips look viewable and play nice enough in playback on the camera, but I just imported a 7 sec clip to Microsoft moviemaker, gave it a grayscale effect, finished it as a movie to my desk top, FTPed it to my web site, and the little clip looks dark and grainy--much more so than during playback in the camera. Is that to be expected? It was very dark in the pub. Or maybe it's my 3rd rate monitor? If you have windows media player, you probably will be able to view this. If not, well, you won't be missing much :-). I'm going to have to retrench and rethink my video strategy :-).

When you have the clip on a timeline in Microsoft Moviemaker, what does it look like then? If the clip is fine on the timeline, then somehow it was darkened either during the conversion to mono, or during the encoding as a 'movie' to your desktop. What did you convert it to on the desktop (I am assuming .wmv) and are there any options to convert the file from the timeline to any other type of file? Try the same process again, this time don't apply the mono conversion - just pop the movie through onto the web in colour and with no mods of any kind. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I don't understand this whole thing.
