Today, I am installing a program on my computer to use instead of Windows Live Movie Maker.
I know, I know, seeing as how I'm a video blogger, it's all horrible. I understand.
Believe me.
The issue comes with the fact that I don't like Mac computers yet I am incredibly in-tune with the video and audio software (iMovie, FinalCut Pro, Garage Band, etc) The problem is that I don't trust Mac computers.
Yea, I said it.
I don't trust Macs.
Not because I think Macs will steal my identity or that Steve J is out to get me or anything, but because the software/hardware is so tightly packed and contained that if anything were to go wrong, missing file, accidental overwrite, there's nothing to do but a full system format.
That being said, I think most Mac programs are incredibly user-friendly. Now, do I think that the programs are very user-friendly in order to be able to help out the less-than computer savvy people in the world? Partially.
But that's a different blog for a different day.
I'm not out to fuel the Mac-PC war and I honestly don't care what platform use.
All I'm saying, is that I don't want to own a Mac computer, but I do want to use something better than WLMM. That's why, I got my hands on Sony Vegas Pro and so I'll be testing that out later.
The only other hang-up about editing on this computer is that it's a laptop and I don't have a USB mouse so I have to use the touch-pad for exact cuts which don't /exactly/ turn out the way I want. (SEEWHATIDIDTHERE?)
Anywho, the update is done so here I go, testing this out!
Be my NaNo buddy!

Stranded
VEDA: April 13, 2010
The title sounds like an emo poem. This is not an emo poem.
You may be wondering how I'm stranded if I have the power of the internet, but as far as definitions of what the word stranded means, I'm actually not where I want to be right at this moment. Location-wise, not in my life.
You're disappointed that it's not as heartfelt now, right?
As much as I dislike Mac operating systems, a lot of the programs are very user friendly. If you don't already know, I generally use the Mac lab on campus to edit my YouTube videos. I use iMovie because it's very simple, fast, and I haven't taken the time to learn anything on Final Cut Pro quite yet. So, as you may have guessed, I want to be in the tech lab right now. Instead, I am using one of this dorm's GPA (group project area) computers, which is a Dell.
I came in search of the Mac lab about half an hour ago but quickly realized that it was reserved until 10:30pm tonight.
The reason I need to get into the Mac lab right now is because i have one or two video things to edit and an audio track to create. To stress myself even more, I became convinced that I needed to get into the Mac lab to upload the Pun of the Day video today and to type this blog but that was obviously not the case.
