   I find it completely odd that FCP and FCE can't handle .mp4 video while
 iMovie crunches
 through it with no problem. I think probably, since most devices record to
 .mp4, the codec
 was designed more for viewing and not for editing.









this is because imovie converts your .mp4 into DV for editing.
unless you are using the mp4 format for your project
which i've never gotten to work!
this is why imovie rocks with most formats because it converts if first.


p.s. i was wrong about FCP not playing my mp4s. FCP will play all my mp4s
and edit them, but if i put any filters or transitions, it will not render
them
but it will export them fine. odd.
my latest video has some color correction and a fade in and i was all cut in
FCP with the new xacti h.264 mp4 footage:

I started my Live Music Journal video blog (
 http://livemusicjournal.blogspot.com) because I
 bought a Sanyo Xacti HD2 and couldn't edit the .mp4 files in FCP, so
 instead, I recorded full
 songs from live sets and didn't edit them at all. :)

 But still, it's a huge pet peeve that it works without a hitch in the
 consumer software while
 the pro software can't handle it. All that extra rendering makes it almost
 useless from a
 work-flow standpoint.

 Oh, and I've read that Final Cut Pro 6.0 can't edit .mp4 well, either.
 Bummer. Can we petition
 Apple to change that?

Sometimes we are geeky. Sometimes we are human. Then there is that
nerd contingency. Sometimes we have to deal with what is presented
before us the best way we can. Or the worst way we can. We eventually
come back to center point.

If you stroll our past history you'll notice we talk about everything
that relates to vlogging with some interesting side trips along the way.

Hang in there, there will be a discussion about updating a standard
USB memory stick for wi-fi transmission to a movlog any day now.

This list does discuss technology a lot. And some questions get more  
replies / better answers than others.

The discussion about said racist video is important, I believe. The  
discussion started with several people saying — hey, it's ok. The  
video isn't funny, but whatever, it was cool / and other people  
countered with no, it's not ok. It's racist and let's say so. And  
then a lot of people had a lot to say. People debated 'What is  
censorship?'... What is feeding the trolls... What were the  
motivations of the person who made the video What does racism  
look like in the 21st century?... and yes, discussions like this can  
get very hard to watch — especially when we are talking about racism  
in the United States (land of the free / home of the brave). I like  
discussions like these, messy as they are, because the debate asks  
the people who are participating it in to think. To think about what  
they think, notice it, attempt to articulate it. It is rare to get a  
chance to think about and talk about racism in our culture(s) — and  
yet, social dynamics like the ones that have been discussed dominate  
our lives (including censorship / power / money / etc) and affect  
most everything going on around us. It is important to talk about  
racism in the U.S./U.K. and elsewhere. If it's not talked about, it  
goes unchecked, passed on from person to person.

Congrats on your videoblog! David Howell just pointed me over to it  
the other day, and I've been watching all your videos with great  
interest. I spent a month in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia last summer,  
and a month the summer before, working on a multimedia opera about  
Nikola Tesla. I feel a strong connection to Belgrade and Croatia now,  
and have many friends there. I know ethnicity / nationality has  
played a huge role in what life is like in the former Yugoslavia for  
the last 10-15 years. Maybe that's why you really don't want this  
list to be going on and on about race-based tensions. While it may  
sound like people are angry with each other — the debate in the U.S.  
does not carry with it the nationalism that could start a war. That  
war ended in 1865, and while we haven't completely gotten over it,  
there not been any movement to restart it for about three decades now.

And this discussion will end in a week or so. And we'll start  
debating something else with a lot of controversy — usually talking  
about advertising or Hollywood business models gets things going. ;-)  
Read the list email in a program / environment that sorts things into  
threads, and then delete all the email from any discussion that you  
don't want to be part of without having to read any of it. Two  
thousand emails a month are too many for most all of us.

And keep posting your technical questions! Somebody answer GoGen's  
questions! Rupert is really one of the people who get movlogging.

2007-08-08 Thread David Howell
The day after I saw Feldmans video, I made a fight racism video in
response. A little obscure but it made it's point. I have been a
victim of racism all my life and have stood up and said something in
one way or another.

http://www.taoofdavid.com/2007/08/06/fight-racism/

Feldman said no one made anything in response to what he called his
social experiment. People responding on his site are calling me a
loser. *meh* Whateva..

Unsurprisingly my video has gone largely unnoticed and ignored.

Power in numbers is the answer? Power from more influential media
makers than I? I dont know? I am only one with very small viewer numbers.
