It may sound like this project is coming together at a snails pace, but working with 10 megapixel images in 720p HD is a <em>really<\/em> slow process unless you have <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cray\">The Cray<\/a> or something.<\/p>\n<p>People think you can edit movies in real time on normal computers.  Standard camcorder DV is fine in most non-linear editors.  After Effects is my movie making application of choice.  I usually do a quick cut in Premiere and then go straight into AE.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, you can&#8217;t watch your footage in real time.  You have to render everything.  It can take up to 30 seconds to render a single frame.  When I want to see how a shot looks in time with the music, it can take minutes to generate a pass of a chorus or verse.  <\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that it forces me to get it right and do the detail work.  It doesn&#8217;t pay to be sloppy.  Heck, I have to see every frame get spit out in slowmo on my screen so I have ample time to scrutinize everything.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the video is coming along nicely.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.armanbohn.com\/blog\/pictures\/2008_07_15_b.jpg\" alt=\"... still from the Combat music video ...\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finished a rough cut of the end of the &#8220;Combat&#8221; video today.
