i''ve already got 2 videos done for this and am hoping to create videos for all of them.   open invitation to anyone that would like to: help, critique, add bacon.

So i finally finished up my solo project and this is the first official video from it.  It's 2 songs linked together (Hal and Dave).  thought you guys might enjoy it. (2001 content)

i'm having issues getting it to embed, sorry for the link.

alright, i'm back with more questions.

I've gotten the hang of the basic functionality of Premiere, however, I haven't quite figured out what the best output format is.

the first couple attempts came out really crappy, then got worse when i uploaded them to youtube (not surprising).   

I don't care about insane HD right now, I just want it to appear as clean as possible for youtube/vimeo/whatnot.

anyone have suggestions on the appropriate presets/formats?

thanks!

you want random? i got random.

here's a couple tunes i did recently. 

Voorhees (A Jolly Good Fellow) - http://soundcloud.com/mcbrayer/voorhees

Turquoise  - http://soundcloud.com/mcbrayer/turquoise

and here's another.  i realize this goes against everything Trey has said, because it's literally the first thing I've ever done on Premiere Pro (obviously still learning how to even use the program...AND i only have a basic sony camera that also shoots video)...however, I am happy with the tune.

i finally got premiere pro 5.5 and i'm slowly trying to learn it.

i have, what might possibly be, a stupid question.   

It seems that Premiere takes nearly all video formats, but when i try and import clips from my iphone, it's saying there's no audio/video elements to the file.  however, the file works fine on my computer.

any suggestions on what might be going on there?

thanks!

Just My Type - it's a book all about the history of fonts
on deck is  -  Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy - i think it's going to be a VERY slow read, but as a jaded ex Catholic HS student, i'm curious to read it

re: Batman and Robin

this was the first movie that i ever actually considered walking out on.  at one point i almost stood up and yelled, "you have to be kidding me!" and walked out...but i didn't.  i thought that there was no way it could continue to be a pile of steaming dog turds and that it had to get better.  so i sat through it.

it never got better.    i almost want to see it again to see if i was being overly harsh, but based on the commentary, it sounds like i was right the first time.

here's Zappa

This is Emeryville (pixar country), facing the oakland hills.  Berkeley's campus is off in the distance.   
This is not nearly as cool looking as being able to stare at Alcatraz when i got to lunch at work, though.
