last post!! Merry Christmas

Well this is the last post of this semester for me. I have just finished my video project and it was a lot more work than I imagined. The hardest part was getting the program to work for me. It would not work on my home machine and it crashed at least 10 times when I was working on it at school. The problem I was having was making it the right length. Originally it was suppose to be 90 sec but mine turned out be doubled I hope that Michael doesn't have a problem with that.

I am quite happy with the end product but like everything I think I could have done better.





Finally i would like to wish everyone a happy new year and a merry Christmas. Everyone please be safe in everything you do.

Good Luck
Randy

Year End

For me the Year is over the only thing holding me back from graduating in this Video Project. this year has been interesting. New Media class was very interested as well. I loved first part of the semester were we learned about photoshop. I really wanted to learn how to use this program. I feel that my skills in photoshop have improved by huge amounts. In the future I think I will use this program a lot more. I am no longer intimidated in using this program. Dreamweaver, was the second program and honestly i still feel weak in using it. I think this class should really reduce the amount of programs taught. I am sure it is a useful program but I felt like the instruction was rushed because we not only had to learn this program we also had to learn Premier. Adobe Premier has been interesting. I am still having difficulties using it. The school is using a version of Premier that is so old it can even use new video formats like .AVI which have been out for years. this is really disappointing and has really slowed down my productivity.
i will continue to fight on and hopefully things will improve..

This program is killing me

We are currently working on Adobe Premier. I can honestly say that i hate this program. I do not hate what it does but I hate that it continues to crash on me. On my machine at home I have tried to install it 3 times and one time it was an older version. Every single time I start the program it has given me the Blue Screen Of Death. For the last 30Mins I have been working on it in the lab at school and it has crash 4 times.

I should mention that my machine at home is a Intel duo with 2 GB of ram 120GB of HD with 128MB video card. There should be no reason why it is crashing.

I hope I can get this project done on time.
