I’ve been really busy for the past few days.
It’s been 10 months since our wedding. I had not gotten around to put together our wedding DVD since then because there were so many other things for us to do.
Now that we are going to Shanghai, I thought it’d be nice for JY’s parents to see our wedding DVD. However, that left me only about a week to put it together.
I’m almost done. My work flow for editing look like this (well, ideally anyway):
1. Come up with a story board
2. Capture video from DV camcorder to harddrive
3. Once all raw footage are captured, import them into editing program
4. Go through all clips and isolate scenes relevant to the story board
5. Sequence the scenes, put in background music and dance tracks for the dances
6. Put in transitions and chapter headings
7. Create montage using shorter highlight clips
8. Create disk menu
9. Author test DVD
10. Burn test DVD
11. Correct errors
12. Author final DVD
13. Burn final DVDs
14. Bring final DVDs with us to Shanghai
I’m at step 10 as of now. The authoring took more than 4 hours to complete, maybe it’s time to upgrade to a faster machine.
I’ll know by this evening if there is any correction needed.
I’ll post a clip on this block once I’m done.
Wish me luck.
