Silent Rough Cut

After a couple system crashes and many choice expletives, I have concluded that my home computer's Windows Movie Maker is utterly incapable of handling the awesomeness contained in editing videos. So, I tried this ZwelStein thingy, but gave up because I couldn't figure it out and the help manuals are not very helpful. Plus, it looks hideous. Seriously. Anybody remember Windows '95?



Yeah. ZwelStein's worse.

So, I downloaded a free trial version of Video Edit Magic. It is not perfect, but it is a definite improvement over Windows Movie Maker. Unfortunately, I could not capture images off the camera for some reason. So I went to use iMovies at another computer.

After many more expletives, I finally composed a silent rough draft. I still have to get it on Quicktime Pro.

The moral of this story? First, Windows Movie Maker sucks. Second, if you can help it at all, don't wait until the night before to start editing your video.
