Re: [videoblogging] storyboarding free/shareware?

Personally, like Lan, when I do a storyboard I use pen and paper. It's mostly free, no learning curve, viewable under most conditions, doesn't need batteries, and way faster than software. Also, it's rare that I use anything more than stick figures/body outline and boxes and it's never failed to do

Re: [videoblogging] iphone compatible video

If it works on an ipod it will work on an iphone. You can use the default quicktime presets or check freevlog for more customizable settings (sorry on the road - no links handy). - Verdi On 7/24/07, David King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can't remember if anyone posted about this or not... is the

Ok great. Now with Irina not at PodTech this year, what are your plans? My impression of last year was that it was Irina that kept it from being the kind of thing that Valerie was talking about. - Verdi On 7/24/07, John Furrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael, > Sorry about the choice of wor

I don't get you John. "Cherry picked Valerie's comments"? Look at what she said - I included almost everything. I was trying to keep the email as short and relevant as possible. I also linked to the whole page so anyone could go read it for themselves. BTW, Scoble didn't think it was cherry picking

[videoblogging] The Vloggies (was Re: irina gone)

Personally, I don't like the idea of an awards show at all. Last year I tried to argue that point but it was clear that so many people wanted one and that PodTech was determined to put one on that I tried to help make it good by offering suggestions and by being a judge. The main factor that had it

Re: [videoblogging] Re: NY Times Kit Seelye Can't Get Her Black Vloggers Straight!....

This is one in a long line of things reporters have gotten wrong when reporting on videoblogging. This is one of the reasons why the whole wikipedia thing is so frustrating. I guess someone should go add both of those guys to the vlog article! - Verdi On 7/23/07, Bill Cammack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

What's crappy or mediocre to one person is pure gold to another. There's room for it all on the internet. And that is the whole fucking point! You don't have to be "good" to be on the Internet and nobody can make you watch the stuff you don't want to watch. Some of my favorite videos are the ones

[videoblogging] Movie Maker on Vista

Hey ya'll, I've got someone who sent in a question to Freevlog about Windows Vista that I'm hoping someone can help me answer. Apparently when you export your video and make it into a wmv, the menu choices have changed. What's a good setting? They say they can only see these choices when selecting

Re: [videoblogging] external mikes & MacBook Pros

I had a fan that started making noise and Apple fixed it under warranty. Luckily I followed their suggestion and backed up (actually cloned my HD with CarbonCopyCloner) because, for some reason, they felt the need to erase the hard drive while replacing the fan. On 7/12/07, Mark Day <[EMAIL PROTEC

Re: [videoblogging] to buy a macbook pro or not?

If you want to use Final Cut Pro and want to be mobile than a MacBook Pro is certainly the way to go. I have the first version - 15.4", 2GHz - and I love it. I've been using nothing but Apple laptops for editing since the G3 Pismo came out 7 years ago. - Verdi On 7/12/07, Miranda Leitsinger <[EMAI

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Hey PodTech - What's up with Lan's image?

Well, considering that it was used as an advertisement and not for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, I can't imagine a fair use argument could be made. - Verdi On 7/12/07, Laura Moncur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > After looking at the poster, I'm wondering if

I don't know about the Audio Technica but I was thinking of getting a Sennheiser ME 66 which I've used before and gotten really great results.

I agree. I was using Flash 8 built in encoder. It takes about as long as encoding h.264 and my results were hardly distinguishable from the flv at blip. Also, most times it's faster to let blip do it. - Verdi On 7/9/07, Brook Hinton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Blip's free flash encoding can't
