Does "I-Movie" have something to with Apple Computer? The kids at Apple are notorious for making toys that don't get along well with others.

I found that FREE one-true-media website to be surprisingly good. But Apple might not mesh there very well either.

Ah, the things we do for love of dawg and husband. And did I hear correctly? Is that command "circus"? Bwhahahahahaha!

I have the same el problemo with iMovie and You Tube. If I Quick Time it, I can't blob it. Don't know why. But I remain Apple-dedicated. My recent experience with Zune? Freakin' hell. Apple all the way . . .

J Cosmo Newberry: or in obamaspeak "above your paygrade" grherhahaha

*i am very very tired of the US news. all obama all the time. there is another WORLD out there! hence "world news tonight" not "obama and sully the hero pilot news tonight" *

troll: i looked at that and will try it. once i did upload a decent looking movie to youtube -it was a quicktime. but now it wont take a quicktime. i have to have apple because.....i have to have apple. but you are right -it doesnt cross platform as nicely as it should.

aunty: now that would be a trick! i suspect it would be heavy on the protein front.

moi: why, yes! of course "circus" is the command. you mean it isnt at your house? grrrrrrerhhahahaha
dag girl, your interview is like preparing for a term paper. i love your questions. they deserve serious thought.

i have to resolve this youtube problem before i upload the big dog's music video. i think it will be pretty good - i shot the band doing the song four different takes so i have lots of shots to choose from. today i broke all the clips down into 10 seconds or less and organized it line by line. and i have some footage to cut in so that had to be converted and chunked up. since imovie is relatively primitive, there isnt a way to say "okay this image starts with this exact place on the soundtrack" meaning - the sound is the mastered recording and the video is them playing to that recording.

TMI! grrrrrherhaha

I had the same problem with Blogger. I use Microsoft Movie Maker and I had to publish it to my hard drive for "Public Video" first. What this means? I have no effing idea. I am oddly envious of your project. MY dawgs are tired of being video-taped.

I have to go now. I got some Moi questions too. My Brain Hurts. ahahah. Good luck.

Trout is so cute, well behaved and trained. ♥
Lol K9.. I though she might be doing a cooking segment...well she is a clever dog.
Sorry I cant help you with advice about the music video for the Big Dawg, don't know a thing about it; Boney may be able to help. ♥

I will be spending most of today figuring out how to incorporate the command for "circus" into my training :o). Luv. It.

I know yer busy, too, between the Big Dog and my term paper, but if you get a chance today, come by and weigh in on Wyeth.

That Trout is a cutie. Send her over to me, I'm starting a cooking school for dogs. And yes, it will be protein heavy.

boxer: we need to get Moi on meet the (de)press(ed) or face the nation. finally, the pols will get some fast and curves instead of softballs. *my head hurts too -im still in the weeds on one of my questions!*

boxer: trout is a SHE. that just won't go in, will it? grherha

walking man: thank you for the tip..ive got a bad feeling that it would require final edit pro - a steep learning curve i dont have time for. im doing it in a very hard way. s-l-o-w.

dianne: thank you! trout is a good dog - and has come a long way. she didnt say much at the beginning - now she wont shut up. shes a talker.

moi: i didnt know wyeth had died. enjoyed everybodys comments on your post. as to circus - that is the word for sit up. (like a circus dog)

shamu: she is a cutie. she demands "wet meat"...meaning, more that dry kibble. and if she doesnt get it she acts like a little bull, pawing the ground and shaking her head at me. grrrrrherhaha

Ha! I thought it was a command to go nuts and start barking!

(Sorry about the term papers, y'all. But your answers will be mighty interesting, I'm sure!)

Looked ok to me. Trout is so cute!! All my dogs do in the kitchen is stand there and drool. In fact you have to be careful walking in the kitchen so you don't slip on dog spit. Makes you want to come right over and eat at my house, doesn't it??

Good luck with the music video!

I wish I could get my kitty to stop talking. All night long, meow meow meow :)

She look as cute as I remember.

Pssst, blog is open and there is a story about the new addition to my moms family :)

That's a bummer as I am just about to attempt to make an imovie (my first) of my boy Jake, stills and video clips to this tune.

Are you using iMovie to upload it to you tube? If so it changes the film to a format that uses less data, reducing it's size but is lower in quality. the good thing is it does not take as long to upload but it looks like crap. Youtube is also putting an option on their videos to view in high quality which helps bring the video back to looking like it might have originally but it still is not perfect. When these films get uploaded they are encoded by youtube and they get mangled. It saves them bandwidth. This goes for anyone no matter if you use a mac or PC.

Love your dog and hope things are better

she's a good girl... yes she is!

you should dub audio clips over the video to make it seem like she's talking...

Been there- stood in that kitchen- hugged that dog- and you too...
all Trout wants is someone to throw a stick in the back-yard for her to catch and DEVOUR- not return. :)
Gswd- how I LOVE that dog-
and you too.

Your kitchen tile matches mine- have I told you that 100 times? It's about to be changed...so dogs and little kids can run on it and never be noticed-
Maybe the white with blue diamonds is better-
it keeps track of who was there?

Mom is moved. Jeremy will hopefully be settled this weekend. I may very well come in May to see you- or the pets at least...I do know the way to the cabin, by heart now.

Hugs friend. I can not wait to see the video. Although I am loathe to see how the new admin will be MTVavised. "MTVivised" is what they may be hoping for- but you and I know what I wrote originally is what will really happen. Yikes : (
so few will get this-
sigh...
the mountain and creek are calling- or the ocean-
I'll take both :)

moi: dont be sorry. just be patient. ;-)

PjoKid: well hellllll no its not up to what big dog wants. no sir. part of the video problem is he made some changes to the master recording so tomorrow night ihave to re shoot. but even then there is still the pixilation issue.

short: i saw that! what a CUTE dog. he needs to get on a diet pronto but i love him and i am sure your mom will too.

susan: isnt trout a cutie? oh i wish i had had imovie when eva was alive. she was such a beautiful perfect dog. (not to take anything away from trout but eva was the most agreeable obedient dog on earth)

foamy: you are so good. thank you. xox

ricardo:!! thank you. im going to give your suggestions a try. i tried the MPEG and the one you format to play through itunes and they were worse. big dog wants it to look like tv -and some youtubes do. so ive got to try to get there........

bogshond: thats a cool idea. i might try that. good to see ya out and about.

mayden: i believe you witnessed a rottie meltdown in that very room. grrrrherhahahahaha oh girl, youve seen me at my worst havent you? i got the frida pad - i love it thank you so much. and yes i knew about your mom and jeremy. you know i am thinking about you and praying that the group home works out and that your life can have some space for YOU again. xo

iTunes will be the WORST quality because that uses a format that's mad to run on iPods. So the video only needs too look good on a very tiny screen therefore it compresses the date further and just kills the quality. But it takes up the least memory and uses less computer horsepower.
