My First Video... My First Gap
Saturday, April 08, 2006
I've managed to get around to putting together a short sequence of a "gap" we did in Tignes. Unlike the conventional "road gap" - this is more of a path gap, but you've got to start somewhere :-)
A couple of points about making the clip for YouTube... I had absolutely no idea how best to do the compression. The file (.avi) started off at 330 MB, which is no good at all. I got it down to 83 MB (max is 100 MB on YouTube) - and that took almost an hour to upload. I also removed the sound, but I don't know how much of a difference that makes.
About the sound - I added a bit of a sound-track using a song by the Gorillaz. But I don't know what the copywrite issues are for putting this up on YouTube. The guidelines are "don't put up copywrite protected material without permission".
Anyway, here's the video...
