Fanvids- Vids that you think of every time you hear the song
https://vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/39170.html
Nonnies, please give me funny crack vid recs? Any fandom, any ship. I need something to laugh about today. I've never understood how fanvids persist against takedowns at all, especially the popular ones. Request: Vid Tagging Assistance, Vid Streaming Alternatives Any idea if any vidders have played with this (or related tools) yet? #fandom #vidding ML-powered automatic video editing app released recently Quick question #vidding community Vidding friends, I'm about to make the switch from Mac to PC vidding.
My better half is building me a machine. What should I know? How much RAM/what kind of hard drive? Is there a solution for converting iTunes source? (feel free to DM me) Thank you!
Multi-Fandom Convention in Maryland is seeking vids for their vid show. Submit your vids by August 1
https://equinox-exchange.dreamwidth.org/27045.html
I'm now getting a little worried... would submitting 3 premieres to fanworks con be considered a dick move? I don't wanna take time away from anyone, but I also really wanna show these vids to people.

Have you ever been to a vid or fan-focused convention? Which one? What was your experience like, etc? https://vid-bingo.dreamwidth.org/3623.html

Are you a vidding plotter or a pantser? If you use storyboards, how do you approach them? Are they vague or detailed, handwritten or a google doc?

This article is about why the site VidMe closed, but provides fascinating insights into the state of things; particularly hilarious TO ME are the "Insights for Newcomers," i.e. what they learned for people who want to try to do this: If you’re considering building your own video platform, here are a few suggestions....

Vidding strategy is not a thing I usually think about in those terms, but here we are. I entered a youtube vidding contest and the first round was scored and "The Engineer" finished tied for 13th out of 19 entries.

I hate, hate, hate all these vids with the dialogue left in.
This is a new thing we’re trying - we love talking about the vidshows at the con itself, but we think there’s scope for further discussion here on Dreamwidth, where folks who weren’t able to attend the con can get involved too. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to watch the show and join in! We’ll be running these posts roughly once a month, initially featuring shows from VidUKon 2019. https://vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/39170.html

music vids, AMVs, edits, supercuts, mashups, etc. Ask for recs or just drop a link to something you like!
If someone could help me learn the ropes that'd be lovely.
https://vidding.dreamwidth.org/395455.html Do you ever have an amazing idea for a vid but lack the confidence to actually make it
You know the feeling when start project so inspired and then
get to some part of song and you just can't move past it? For weeks... And then start to hate whole song and part of project you already finished. Yeah.

https://twitter.com/TheMica993/status/1134759868605390848 Reading it made me think of @Lumi_nation and other fellow vidders who see & hear music as movement & color, hear color as music, and so on.
There are many of us. We don’t often talk about it outside of con suites and panels, but we exist in our special little universes. #vidding https://twitter.com/Bonibaru/status/1132780458494910464 Vidding and/as Pedagogy
Vids explore themes related to the source material(s) they remix and rework. In a vid, the juxtaposition of moving images and music, as well as careful sequencing, cutting, and pattern construction, work together to communicate the vidder’s messages.Vid Society: discord server dedicated to editing/vidding

Vidding Styles
There is a difference between completely ripping off a style to the point it's just the same video with a different song and taking inspiration, then adding your own spin. While nobody has 'ownership' over a style.... I'm tired of seeing basically the same videos everywhere. call me old fashioned but I am really not a fan of the youtube vidding trend.....
of putting dialogue over the whole fucking thing. I can deal with a bit here and there but for a 3+ minute song?? I imagine you picked the song for a reason, let me hear the lyrics!! ...fanvideo styles getting more & more reduced,
https://vidding.dreamwidth.org/395455.html
2012 - heavy colorings, catchy songs, crossfades, overlayers, texts
2019 - almost to no coloring, clean cuts, minimal editing, trailer-ish instrumentals
2020 - no coloring, no editing, no music, just play the damn episode would ya?
cuz you’ve never done something like it before and don’t want to screw it up? Now try having that for like 4 different ideas...so frustrating

Vid for which I have clipped that seemed fun: now seems silly and tropey.
Vid I have most excellent song for is for a show I thought was ok, but for which I'd need to learn new vidding software.
Vid I've pottered with for years now has corrupted files.

Your favourite well-made music vid.... I am an old and don't listen to music radio, so in the last twenty years, my main way to discover music less than thirty or forty years old has been through very well-made fan videos. So please rec me yours with the appropriate link
When someone vids ship and uses voiceovers or scenes related to the competing ship on that show. I just always think to myself Bro, that's off-limits" Is this super petty of me. Don't hate me. What are some of your pet peeves, #vidding community
#vidding friends, for the last couple of weeks I have been exploring (link: http://vidrecs.com) vidrecs.com! (Some of you may remember I mentioned it briefly at #vidukon.) It's very new but it looks as though it could be a really cool resource!

of putting dialogue over the whole fucking thing. I can deal with a bit here and there but for a 3+ minute song?? I imagine you picked the song for a reason, let me hear the lyrics!!
is it even fanvideo editing in some cases anymore.... i guess vidding is living on borrowed time anyway.

LlamaEnc is not currently compatible with macOS Mojave. After a decade as a Mac vidder, I am about to buy my first Windows machine and start vidding on a PC.

Sharing Your Fanvids To Instagram
Instagram limits the number of external links you can use in a post. Up until last year, they didn't support longer vids or links to external websites, preferring to keep the material "in house." If you have a streaming vid on Youtube, Vimeo or your own website, you can still promote it on Instagram https://laurashapiro.dreamwidth.org/382846.html

Requesting assistance in tagging vids using Excel (2013/2016/2019). If you have Office 365 this would be ideal as we can collaborate in real time similar to what you see in those ads for Google docs co-authoring where you see the names of people typing as flags. Additionally, if you have ever wanted to get up to speed with Excel for work or to get work this could be one way of doing so while also watching and tagging vids. I teach Excel as well
Is there any other way besides rewatching the source materiel a hundred times to connecting clips to the lyrics? Is there some sort of trick I'm missing?
My better half is building me a machine. What should I know? How much RAM/what kind of hard drive? Is there a solution for converting iTunes source? (feel free to DM me) Thank you!
