What you’re about to see is about 31 minutes of couch assembling action, zipped up into about 2.5 minutes. I only increased the speed, nothing was cut out (except for about 2 seconds in the beginning.) I think it turned out OK. Below the video is some of the dialogue (it’s hard to understand because it’s sped up.)
emkid: I’m recording
Wife: Alright. Oh, your recording. Where?
emkid: Right there, behind you.
Wife: I didn’t see you.
emkid: Right there.
Wife: Oh! Oh Casey! You’re a really nice person. (excellent acting!)
emkid: I-Ping can you open me up a beer.
Wife: OK, yes sir.
Wife: Yes master
Wife: Come on hurry up.
Wife: Yes, master.
emkid: Oh, shit. It’s still recording.
emkid: I can still make it.
emkid: I can still make it!
emkid: I can STILL MAKE IT!
Can’t Get Microsoft Software from Microsoft?
I had been using a copy of Ulead VideoStudio 8 that I got with a video capture card to edit my most recent movies, but I wanted to do the increased speed thing on the movie above. I heard the lastest version of Windows Movie Maker could do that, so I went to Microsoft’s website to download it. Microsoft’s site told me that all I needed to do was download service pack 2 (that’s right, I haven’t done that yet, if it aint broke…) I actually don’t know how to download service pack 2. My system is in Chinese, and any time I try I get tired of reading through the Chinese.
Well, I ended up downloading it from Download.com (link to Movie Maker). I found it strange that they would offer it, but not Microsoft. Version 2 is pretty cool, plus now it’s in English (yay!)
Microsoft making you jump through unnecessary hoops to use their software? Say it ain’t so!
Nice job on the couch. Now if you could only work that fast when you come and clean up your sh#@ in the basement. The fire inspector is coming again and we were supposed to have that cleaned up. Oh, well…..
that was entertaining and funny as hell.
I loved the couch video- it was hilarious!
I do the same thing to my wife when she gets home (I especially like it when she is bent over remving her shoes). Don’t forget to make a video when the day comes to dismantle the couch! Oh an I use Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 for video editing. click the movie on the homepage http://www.atppoertschach.at/english/index.html

It’s about time for a new post.
