Icon inventory!

[exsequar]

I realized I haven't done one of these in quite a while (since June!), and my icons are getting EATEN by Supernatural, so I thought I'd do another inventory.

Supernatural - 73!

26 Sam and Dean

1 Sam/Dean/Faith

12 Dean

1 Dean/Faith

1 Demon!Daddy

2 Winchester trio

1 Impala

4 Jared

1 Jeffrey Dean Morgan

2 Jensen (only two?! must fix!)

8 Jsquared

2 Kripke

1 SPN Logo

1 Michael

1 My Fandom has Winchesters! (we win)

1 Jensen/Jared/Christian

5 Sam

1 WINCON YAY

1 iWinchesters!

1 iSPN! XD

And in the dust we have...

Kane - 4
Faith - 3
BSG - 3
Firefly - 3
Harry Potter - 2

And several other random ones (such as, The internet is for porn!)

Pretty soon the boys will take over all my slots! Who's surprised? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I also may or may not have printed out the boys-as-hookers picture and put it up on my wall. I love it that much. Even if Jensen's eyebrow appears to have a life of its own.

I am really frustrated right now, for two reasons. One, I just realized the dryer I've been trying to use all night is BROKEN, so I JUST switched my clothes to a new one. It's 2:30. GAH.

And two, I promised myself I'd get a chunk of work done on my vid this weekend, but Premiere is being a BITCH! First I switched the codec to DivX, so I had to rerender the whole project and that took two tries because Premiere froze up the first time. And NOW Premiere won't play the file preview and I assume it's because of the DivX and AAAAAAAGH! *tears out hair* So I have no idea what to do! I can't work on it if I can't see the preview, and I can't save it as the old codec because it doesn't work on anything but VLC! *THROWS THINGS* Anyone have any advice??

Lastly, I made an icon post over at shinyshapes, of mostly Paley icons! Go check it out! :)

I don't have anything intelligent to say, I just haven't talked to you today, so I thought I'd say HI! ♥

Hi darling! *snuggles* I miss you! And I feel like crap! I'm going to go to bed -_-

New codec. ;) Course now that you're on a Mac, I have like, no help to give. Maybe you could bend the ears of the Mac vidders over on vidding.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Nonono I'm still vidding on a PC!! *clings to you* HELP! I thought DivX was the one EVERYONE uses! I went to the website and downloaded it and then applied that to the project. But now the monitor window won't show anything! *cries* It's really freaking me out and do you have any idea how I could fix it?? What other codec should I try?

GAH!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Ok, yeah, Xvid/Divx is really common as a final web-distribution codec, but not too many people I know render with it out of Premiere or use it in Premiere. Premiere pretty much hates that particular kind of codec (it's just not stable for various reasons).

So, if you need a codec to clip to and then import into Premiere for vidding, something like Lagarith is nice. Big files, but smaller than HuffyUV and just as pretty. If you're looking for a codec to set your "Project Rendering" to in the project file, again Lagarith is nice, but can be slow. I usually set mine to None, but again, that can be slow too.

If you're needing one to export in order to check out your progress, I'd either use one of the wmv settings in the Adobe Media Encoder (something like WM9 NTSC 1024K download--then test the settings out to get something you like) or Lagarith again. If you're sending them to betas, then wmv is pretty standard, but you can always take a Lagarith encoded file or an uncompressed (None) avi into VirtualDub and export to Xvid or Divx from there. I prefer Xvid myself. And VDub will export to it just fine.

Did I cover the problem somewhere in there, or was I still way off?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Umm *bites lip* I think so? Do I just do a google search for these codecs and download them? And for the final product, I should export it through VDub yes? Not leave it as Lagarith encoded?

I feel like I'm just playing at this whole vidding thing, I don't know any of the terms! *meep*

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Yes, and yes. But here's a link for Lagarith:

And Xvid:

And let me know when you want to export to Xvid and I can give you a quick tour of the steps. :) The WMV stuff is all in Premiere, so that's pretty easy.

Great, thanks for the links hon. I can't try them out right now because it's a whole ordeal getting my PC started up and stuff, and I have homework to do. But later, and if I have any questions I'll come bother you again :P

Would you be willing to do another beta of what I've got so far? I seem to need feedback during the process to keep me motivated, and I need to get this done in less than a month! Meep!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to. :D
