Messed around with Movie Maker today...

...I think I might be able to make that vid that I want to make! It'll take me a heck of a long time, and I have to figure out how to sync the music, and sketch out my ideas...but yeah...

Movie Maker seems a bit limited in music-editing, so that's a bit worrying...but hopefully I can figure it out.

So, you know, I'll just add that to my huge list of projects that I don't have time for. Seriously, how am I expected to get a job when I have so much to do! :P

Rough list:
1)Finish S6 Rewatch
2)Finish cataloguing S6 clothes.
3)Write fanfic
4)Work on as-of-yet-not-revealed major project (will be revealed on Wednesday).
5)Work on event/knowledge timeline.
6)Make vid
7)Write meta
8)Get a job so that I can afford the internet...and you know, food and shelter and such.
9)Work on as-of-yet-not-revealed craft project (seriously, why did I try to do this craft project the most difficult way possible? It's taking for frickin' ever.)

You know, it's nice that I find all my Supernatural-related projects fulfilling, but sometimes I wish I didn't find them THAT fulfilling...what happened to the days where I could sit around and watch hours of television every night? There used to be a time where I would sleep all day just because I couldn't think of anything else to do...mind you, that got pretty depressing after a while...so, I guess that answers my question. I can't have my cake and eat it too.

At least items 1 and 2 will be done before the end of October....and hopefully item 8 too, because whores will have their trinkets.

You can splice the clips, and click and drag them so that they follow each other. That's the only part I've really figured out - the music looks like it's a bit more complicated if you want to edit it...so I'm a bit worried about synching things.

Just try it! I just popped in a Supernatural episode and then randomly decided to isolate one scene and splice together all the shots of Dean...and that's how I taught myself those functions. But yeah, I've mostly just used "splice" "start point" and "end point"...and then played with the speed.

I think I must suck more than I thought. I'll give it another shot. :)

It's very easy to get frustrated with software :P It's why I didn't bother putting photoshop on this computer - it always just makes me feel stupid and fills me with rage.

*facepalm*

I just realized I'm not even talking about the same software. I have iMovie, not Movie Maker. Sorry for the confusion.

Haha, well, can't help you there then. :P
