hey gang;
long time no post!
i have been busy travelling etc.
anyway, i am back and i can't wait to catch up on all the info this forum has to offer
i recently installed vegas 4 and made another video for my friends nightclub
Tone loc came and sang wild thing and funky cold medina
he wouldn't let me video tape him, but i got good crowd shots and tried to be creative...he did cut an ID and let me use his songs for the video
the audio would surely be improved if i used a mic...something i will definitely look into in the future
anyway, all comments are greatly appreciated...this forum has helped my editing and creative enery immensely

video is at
www.jimmyshaunt.com
click on ---special events
click on-----Tone loc at Jimmy's Video
please let me know the good, the bad and the ugly
thnx all

I checked out the vid. Sweet. I need to get hold of Mr. Loc anyway for a project I'm working on - but that's a different story.

One of the things I noted is that you mentioned that the file would be streaming - but it didn't stream versus downloading to my PC then played.

Someone told me a really really really quick and easy way to make ANYTHING stream from a website. I'll post the basics, but if you want more indepth feel free to e-mail me.

Here is whatcha do.

1. Once the file is up on your webserver - open WinAmp or Windows Media Player (or anything you can save a playlist in).
2. Load the file to play from your web location (i.e. put in the URL and stuff)
3. Once it is loaded...save a playlist (besure to do it as an *M3U file)
4. Upload the M3U file to the site for folks to click on.

This way...when they click the lick for the M3U...the file starts playing as a streaming video versus downloading (to temp) and playing.

Hope that helps

(I had a couple of vid tips to share...but e-mail if you get a chance)

Streamed fine, played fine, sounded fine, looked fine.
