I am in a not-sleeping cycle at the moment. I know it will pass and I just have to get through it. It helps if I can find things to do at night instead of tossing and turning.
I have a complete rough draft of my first vid! Which is very exciting. I got some very detailed beta notes back from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
isagel (and some less detailed notes from a few other fine people). So next, I'm going to revise and try to learn how to time things better, ie, the length of clips and where they start and end, and basically how to have fine control over the vid. "Rough" is definitely what I was doing up until now.
I made a subtitle file manually, which I found really annoying; it was hard for me to hear where the lyrics started and stopped, and annoying to have to keep pausing and re-playing the song. Luckily I like the song very much. For future vids I'm going to make the subtitles first. This gets the task out of the way, and also creates a guide for my clips, since I can create the subtitles in DaVinci Resolve and then line the little boxes up.
I do find myself a bit frustrated by the small size of my screen / the workspace in DVR as it appears on my screen. I briefly plugged my computer into the TV, which was nice for getting a bigger work space. I think if I get more into vidding (time will tell) I can work on this problem some more. For now, I'm just learning and playing around.
I really appreciate that folks here and on Twitter have helped me with questions I have. YouTube tutorials for DVR have also been very helpful.
