General Music Chat

It's my pilot episode for a web-series that's set to go for four years featuring various principles that have helped me love learning music. Check it out! xD

It also shows my single that's coming out at the very end of the video. It's set to be released in a couple weeks.

I might suggest starting with the Eclipse excerpt - shows your real ability, rather than the comedy splurts. Also, the typed words sometimes go by too fast to read.

Good and creative video.keep it up

Thanks Joe, will do! =)

And Mike, yeah, that's been the consistent complaint. I'm not gonna lie, the speed of the text is a problem in the next episode too but I'm hoping to have that more fine-tuned by the time the third one comes out the Saturday after this one.

What do you use for putting the text onscreen? If its an option with either of the video editing softwares I use (Roxio Creator and Seriph Movie), I haven't found it.

When you start actually playing at 1:38 I was like. "Yeaaah, that's what I'm talking about!"

Haha, thanks neanderpaul!

And Mike, I'm using a combination of Windows Movie Maker 2012 and Windows Movie Maker Live for the editing. I put the video on Live which is where the video gets the text, effects and what not. There was an issue with external audio bites that I couldn't resolve on the program itself so I would save my files and upload them to Windows Movie Maker 2012 where I would add on the choir at the beginning and a clip of my single at the end without compromising the volume of the entire video.

So yeah, the Live program is the one that has the captions option. It's very simple, and the range of flexibility it offers as far as placement goes allows life to be breathed into the text, giving it a sort of personality of its own. In some ways it's limited, but for a beginner like me it allows me enough freedom to match my understanding so for now it works.

The big problem with the Windows live set up is the fact that it only saves files in the WMV format so I use a file converter I bought last month if compatibility becomes an issue.

If I had known there were free converters like the freemake video converter that are equally effective I wouldn't have even bothered, but alas. The purchase is made and the money vanished. Lesson learned.

I edited it repeatedly, but there's still some issues. Couldn't resolve some of the texts moving on quickly, but most of them are easier to read this go around.
