I'm hooked

[susandennis]

I'm loving this little video camera and the applications for it. It's so point and shoot that I've only just now actually read the manual and the websites for how to make it all work.

One thing I discovered is that the Box.Net free account deal expires in 9 months. It includes 1GB of space and 5GB's cost $80 a year. Yeah, I know, YouTube is free but I love the little Box.Net widget thing. It's so easy and simple. I add a movie and the widget gets updated. I hate the idea of giving it up.

steve98052 suggested that I check out Windows Movie Maker and last night I did. I had never even heard of it. I went to download it and discovered that I've had it on my computers for years without even knowing. I played around with it for a little bit. Fun.

One thing I think I'm going to do is video this house. Room by room. It will be a good inventory and fun project.

Travis and Betty are pretty funny about the camera. When I do a video of them, I'll often play it back right away. They jump at the sound of my voice coming out of the little box. It's pretty funny.

I'm definitely hooked and I think they are, too.

You should try and get one of them to meow and see what they think of that.

Great idea! They aren't much for talking but I'll have to see if I can capture them when they do.

Nice to know you found Movie Maker useful. It's not nearly as capable as the other video editor I use (Adobe Premiere Elements 3), but it's a whole lot cheaper (free, compared to $60 or so after rebate), and easier to use for a lot of the stuff it can do. Some things it can't do at all, and some things are a pain, but for something like my "Laser Kittens (http://steve98052.livejournal.com/158840.html)" video, it's easier to use than the fancy one.
