Here, here. There's a few here (myself included) who seriously need to get out a LOT more.

"Jesus!"

Is taking the name of Diety in vain really necessary? I, for one, would would be grateful if this weren't done.

I spend more time with this software than I do with my wife :-)

I, for one, would be grateful if you didn't expect the rest of the world to have to fit in with your own parochial sensibilities.

Barleycorn,

It's not a matter of fitting into someone else's sensibilities. It's a matter of *respecting* someone else's sensibilities.

For me, and others, "Jesus" is more than just another f-word...

Cheers,
David

David,
I make the utmost effort to respect peoples sensitivities when I'm in their place of worship to the extent that if I don't know what they are I don't enter them, I will not even take images of the outside of them before asking permission.
However we live in a global village and this forum is a part of it. It's simply impossible to avoid what could be some form of offense to someones beliefs, in fact many terms in common use in english derive from blasphemous phrases, I'd doubt though most Christians would even be aware of them let alone take offense at them.
I think you just need to accept that at times you are going to run into things that are offensive, but the critical test is were they intended to be offensive. If the person uttering them did so with the intent of offense by all means be offended and object.

Yeh, but can you get an upgrade for less than 200 bucks?

Bob,

I appreciate your thoughtful reply...

I recognize that this forum is global village. And like other public places, participants can't (and shouldn't even try to) control the behavior of others. When VideoCurmudgeon objected to the rather base use of the name "Jesus," I think Barleycorn mistook this as some sort of attempt to control discussion here.

Honestly, I was not all that offended by the initial use of "Jesus." I roll with the punches... What bothered me, however, was Barleycorn's response. I think he mischaracterized VideoCurmudgeon's objection. Plus, it wouldn't hurt Barleycorn to learn to "roll with the punches" also.

In a diverse place such as this, sensitivity and respect are great virtues. If someone is offended (hurt) by the words of the other, a response of "Hey, you can't *dictate* to me how I talk here!!!" may be a statement of fact, but it is also very self-centered and mean-spirited. To respond with "Sorry, didn't mean to step on toes..." shows thoughtfulness to everyone else, and is evidence of a willingness to live peacably in the "global village."

Peace,
David

On a lighter note...

Having a few problems with 'Wife V5'

I dragged her to the timeline to perform a little editing but I'm having trouble with the transitions.
You know, trim a few frames off the intro, dissolve the middle section a little and add the 'Barn Doors' effect at the back end.

The audio levels are way too high but the control seems to be stuck at maximum!

I tried adding a little motion blurr to smooth out the rough edges but it snapped back at me.

And no matter what I do with the Pan/Crop I can't seem to get the aspect ratio right!

Oh just hang on a second, I can hear somebody calling...


"Alan dear, would you like steak for dinner tonight?"

Yes please honey babe, I love you!



Sorry guys, gotta go.

ROTFL Grazie!!!

Now this would explain why Vegas 5 keeps crashing with error pop-ups that say "Edit harder baby!" and "Is that all?"

And you know - the one error that now makes perfect sense with the new wife interface - "Vegas has encountered an error".

i get it now Grazie...thanks! have a pint on me! :)

Does the new version allow multiple instances running simultaneously, ...preferably in cheerleader outfits?
