Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted August 16, 2003 I've Been Wanting To Make Some Of My Own For A Long Time. Even Before Coming Here. My Problem Is I'm Completely Clueless How To Do So Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 16, 2003 If you have Windows XP you can do it. I'm not sure about 98, but the program I use comes with XP it's called Windows Movie Maker. I use several other programs to cut clips, edit audio and things like that but the main program is WMM. The hard part of it is getting the right clips for the right music then making them sync so the video looks good with the audio. It takes practice, and often requires inspiration (for me anyway lol) but I think I'm getting better at it with each video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTKirk1 0 Posted August 16, 2003 I've been trying to make some vids but I can't seem to get it down either. I guess that means I'm going to keep trying until I get it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't seem to find a good editing program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finding the right music can be the hardest part of it all. That's why when I get inspired I have to do the video on the spot, I even typed out the lyrics and inserted the titles for each clip I wanted to use. Kind of like a script.

Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted August 16, 2003 I want to make a DS9 Video, With The Sequence Of Clips Starting From Season1 And Ending With Season 7, Using Creed's "My Sacrifice" The Very Last Scene Of "What You Leave Behind", With The Camera Zooming Out From The Station, Would Make A Great End For The Video.

JTKirk1 0 Posted August 16, 2003 I may have that song but no promises I'm not a very big fan of Creed's but I'll check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted August 16, 2003 Well, Thanks, Either Way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 16, 2003 The song should be pretty easy to get from KaZaa, the clips would be the hardest part now that you have your music picked. I've been lucky because I started a couple years ago in my effort to get every singel episode of every single Star Trek series made. I have all but about half, maybe a little more then half of Voyager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 16, 2003 I'm slowly replacing my CD's with DVD's, much much better quality. And no subtitles (as you see in the latest video where Ezri and Worf are hanging lol). It's actually harder to get the clips out of a DVD though, you first have to decode the DVD video then turn it into an AVI and then add it to the WMV file. It's not hard, just more steps and more programs to use. (Use XMPEG) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
