Merry Christmas, Happy (very late) Hanukkah and all that. I’ve been dilligently working on videos the past two days and I finally have everything edited down. I was able to edit everything down from my “master” DVD and edit all the clips after some delay, some mistakes with Premiere and a couple file conversions. For whatever reason, Adobe Premiere is kicking out huge files that are very difficult to work with on my laptop. I’ll try to start some conversions overnight and maybe I can have some divx videos online as early as Wednesday night.

I videoed the orchestra concert the other night and will be editing that down to DVD for Mr. McDonald and anyone who wants one, and editing another version (HS only) to send to Disney. Foolishly I didn’t record the brass ensemble because I was unprepared and being the first time I’ve used this new camcorder I didn’t know what kind of battery life I would have. Now I know better and being Christmas and all, now I have a spare battery. Depending on how long it takes me to edit everything down and get stuff uploaded, I might throw the video online for a bit as well.

The sooner I get all this wrapped up, the sooner I can spend time doing some Microsoft studying and Photoshop studying. As soon as I get everything together, I’ll have some announcements and bribes on or shortly after Jan 1.
