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

[Josh Wolf]

Hi, although not really set up to act as a slush fund to broker  
disputes between two parties within the community, I actually have  
established a fund for legal support for those independent media  
makers who find themselves in hot water, and I believe there is a tad  
over $3,000 in the account which will be overseen by the Free The  
Media Foundation which still needs to be established. But, yes, a  
legal fund for the collective good all of us is of crucial  
importance. When I was carted off to jail, I had no idea how I'd  
raise the funds for an appeal. Fortunately, my little pay-pal banner  
was rather productive and there was about $3,000 left-over to  
establish this fund for the next time such a situation strike.

RE: [videoblogging] Low volume on Handheld microphone

[Tom Gosse]

Replying to my own post, I just realized that you wrote that you were
plugging into a mac mic input.  Most likely a low impedance input.  I
looked up the TAKY UDM606L on google and found a listing on Craig’s List
for one.  That listing read, “600 Impedance”.  If that means 600 Ohms (a
standard for microphones) that’s your problem.  You want a High Z to Low Z
transformer so that you can use it with a Low Z input.  Double check you
mac manual for info on the input impedance.   By the way, Z in a symbol for
impedance.
 
Hope this helps.

It sounds like an impedance mismatch. Which is basically what the line vs.
mic input issue is all about. The fact that you used an adapter also
makes me think that. 

Questions:

* Is the impedance marked on the microphone? It should be marked as
ohms (Ω).
* What are you plugging it in to? Camcorder?
* Does the manual for your input device tell you what the mic
impedance is?

Older cameras had a high impedance input. This is in the range of 600 -
1500 Ω. Newer cameras have a microphone impedance of 100 - 600 Ω. If
you have a mismatch you need to get a transformer to use the microphone.

Ah, I learned the hard way, if this is a MacBook the input is line
level, a mic won't drive it. A PC headset won't work on the MacBook
for example. I don't know if a regular Mac (what model) has a mic
input. So if that's the case, you'll need a preamp or an amplified
mic.

Interesting.

So, all musicians or bands covering a tune must get permission first
or pay fees? Does that include if they cover a song in an encore or
something too?

Adam's music might have to become my bastard red-haired step children
then.

Beware though that the US court system do not agree with the dog essay.  
Adam did not write most of those songs and thus you will also need to  
secure permission from the composer (or pay ASCAP fees or whatever the  
procedure is for the kind of work you want to make).

Longer reply coming in a day or two when I've had time & energy to wade  
through the rhetoric analogies in that essay.

Excellent. Much appreciated.

I'll care for them and treat them as though they were made of the
finest crystal. Maybe, on a hot summer evening, I might just call one
of them Fred.

Free as in liberty and the natural state of man, not price.  They actually
cost $4.30 each.

Them's just jokes. Use em as you see fit. I'd be honored to hear them in

[videoblogging] Videoblog Feedback Flash Meeting

[Michael Verdi]

A couple of weeks ago we started talking about critiquing videoblogs
in a flash meeting. I've used this great feedback process with my
theater and I think it'll work well for talking about videoblogs too.

So, I set up another flash meeting for Tuesday, July 3 at 23:00 GMT

This is a moderated process where the responsibility of the audience
is to not bring their own agenda and to have a desire for the artist
to do her/his best work.

For this first meeting well be looking at two videos:
"Stop, Look And Listen" by David Howell
http://www.davidhowellstudios.com/2007/05/30/stop-look-and-listen/
and
"Little Iraq" by Cheryl Colan
http://www.hummingcrow.com/2007/04/03/little-iraq/

There is limited space in the flash meeting so email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for an invitation.

You can read more about how the process works over at freevlog:
http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2007/07/02/critical-response-flash-meeting/

Thanks,
Verdi

When you say "free lo-fi music by me", is that free as in I can use
your music without remuneration to you?

Not trying to sound like a prick. I like your tunes and could find use
for them in a few videos I have planned.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: FCE question...

[Lan Bui]

A fast way to transcode MP4 to DV is to use VisualHub. It has a  
preset for DV and you just drag and drop. It is a really nice; we  
used it when we were transcoding all the various formats for  
Pixelodeon. You can drop almost any format and batch convert them to  
almost any other format.

[videoblogging] The History of What My Dog Can't Hear

[Adam Quirk, Wreck & Salvage]

Back in town, re-reading the Podtech v. Bui thread.  I just want to talk a
little more about copyright and the "ownership" of art, as I felt compelled
to scratch Mr. Rice's mosquito bite about being "trollish" ;)  I don't mean
to start an argument here, I just need to understand how people feel about
the things they are making, and I want you all to understand how I feel.

A friend of mine wrote an essay on music a couple years ago called The
History of What My Dog Can't Hear:

http://www.geartekcorporation.com/texts/essay2.html

The essay is about changing the way we perceive music, and accepting it as
something that is not ownable:

The ownership or authorship of anything is a deception, surely. But I take
> no issue with the ownership of objects in the world, like a broom or a drum

He feels the same way about music as I do about my videos, and at the end he
says, EXTRA CREDIT: Re-read this entire essay but replace the word "music"
with the word "images."

Re-reading it I realized that I unconsciously lifted metaphor directly from
him.  Blatant plagiarism!  I've already informed him and a check is in the
mail.

Because music is a matter of shifting consciousness and not worldly sound, a

PS. Here is a free album of amazing midi-synthesizer and home-made
electronic instrument music by the author of that essay:

Re: [videoblogging] Re: FCE question...

[Michael Verdi]

Hey David,
I've found that Final Cut Pro isn't very good at editing mpeg4 video
anyway. What I do is use a setting in Compressor to transcode and
resize my files to conform to DV. It takes a bit of time but the
results are pretty good. Most every video that I've done for the last
year and half has been done that way. Let me know if you need help
setting that up.

I couldn't agree more. All the free software I have and the
entry-level Premiere elements all allow this.

Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...

[Rupert]

Don't doubt it, dude.
These bastards are all about stripping out the simple things so that  
you want to upgrade (instead of *having* to upgrade).  You probably  
heard me bitching about this on Twitter, but another example of this  
is the Mail program that replaces Outlook Express in Vista - it won't  
remember more than the last 13 email addresses in the To: box, so  
that standard feature of typing the first couple of letters of an  
address and having it autocomplete is GONE - all in the name of  
persuading people to upgrade to Outlook.  Call that a Pro  
feature...?  I don't think so, but what are you gonna do?  Apple are  
as mercenary as MS now, if not more.

What you could do is import your videos into iMovie at iSight or  
MPEG4 setting - which will blow them up to 640x480 but at least not  
destroy them.  Then output to 320x240 - and use a DV camera for FCE...

As for simple titles in FCE, there is a simple titles feature.  In  
the viewer, click the menu at bottom right - you'll see all sorts of  
title and slug options that you can configure in the Settings and  
Motion tabs.  Also, there are 3rd party plugins for text from people  
like Boris - I don't know if they work with FCE though.  I've never  
used LiveType - it's just too much.

Well I can compress it down to whatever I want.  The final steps and final
output arent a problem ... I just want to set the frame size of the project
before I start so that I dont have to resize/distort the source material
just to then export it down at its original size.

I just can't believe that setting the frame size of a project is a "pro"

may be able to do more, but if you want just a title you can
animate/fade/etc ... its just way more difficult than it should be IMHO.

Anyway ... don't believe the hype that creative things are SO much easier
and more intuitive on a Mac. :P

I'm  gonna have to consider now a crazy-expensive editor ... just so that I
can set a frame size.  Pppht.  I wonder if apple knows there are new mac
users who are finding its actually easier to just go back to the PC in order
to create their movies.

Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...

[randulo]

This is a PITA, but with an added step in the workflow (the last step,
usually), you can use a format converter to adjust the size. There are
many of these for Windoze, but I'm not sure what can do this on a Mac.
Doesn't handbrake or hub do this? No, a quick look at hb shows it'll
do a lot but from DVD only.

Take a look here: http://www.pure-mac.com/video.html

Quite a list, you may find what you need.

hope this helps

Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...

No.  That's why it's E and not P.  E just handles DV.  Not many  
differences between Express and Pro for the casual user - but that's  
one of them.
Since you don't need the full power of the latest Final Cut Studio,  
you could try to get hold of a second hand copy of an earlier version  
of FCP.  Also, I understand that (shockingly) some people actually  
use illegal pirate copies of FCP4 or 3 or 2 all of which do most of  
the things that FCE does and more.

ok so I have a mac now and am learning Final Cut Express (FCE).  
Overall its
similar to how I would be using Premier Elements on the PC, however  
there is
one big problem with FCE and I'm hoping someone here can offer a  
solution.

Note: I also got the "One To One" training thing from the apple  
store, and
have at one such session asked about this. The guy - although he did try
admirably to find a way to do it - ended up saying "well I guess you can
only do that in Final Cut Pro" (FCP).

Here's the thing ...

In FCE, you have these "easy setup" options. They setup the project with
settings such as: 720x480 NTSC. In FCP, you can apparently create  
your own
"custom" setup profiles. In FCE ... I can't find a way to do that. My
digital still camera saves to 320x240 (square pixel). I'd like to find a
way to setup the FCE project/workspace for these settings as needed.

Isn't there a way to tell FCE, that I'm working on a 320x240 project?!

I hope I dont have to spend $1300 just for the ability to set the  
size of my
videos ... that's just crazy talk ... surely apple/mac doesn't claim the
creative higher ground if this is the case.

Thanks in advance,
- Dave
