Chicken Soup For the Paranoid Soul
(and now for a copy-and-paste of my video description on YouTube)
Hello, everyone! You might be thinking to yourself, "Wow, what an ungrateful person! Rootsays spends half a video plugging her and she doesn't even mention it!" The truth is, I filmed an entire video just for that purpose (filmed it twice, actually), but when I was almost done editing it, my editing software crashed and now appears to be broken for good. It's actually quite fortunate that this video was already saved to my computer when it happened.
Basically, the lost video said three things:
1) Rootberry/Rootsays: totally awesome. (for all 16 of you who were subscribers before they/he sent the rest of you over, http://www.youtube.com/rootberry and http://www.youtube.com/rootsays
2) Thank you to everyone who subscribed, particularly those who went from my channel to blkfrhwk's and then subscribed to her. Blkfrhwk a.k.a. Jude was the first person to, uh, "discover" me on YouTube and has been an incredibly supportive and awesome friend ever since. Check her out if you haven't already: http://www.youtube.com/blkfrhwk
3) The promised "coolest responses for ways to die": Mister Flask: teleporter accident CallieLauren: flying a spaceship into a black hole DampRabbitVideo: being hit by a meteor Zjeli: having a heart attack onto the letter k (my Cliff's notes version)
Anyway, I don't know how long it's going to be until I get my new editing software, but despite that problem and all the homework I'm about to get slammed with, I'll be back as soon as I have any time to give.
P.S. Bet you five imaginary dollars that while they were watching the video, my parents were shaking their heads and thinking about how I was talking too fast.
P.P.S. For those of you sharp-eyed people who noticed a slight audio desync in certain areas, that was the fault of my now-dead editing software. I spent hours fixing as much of it as I could stand.
P.P.P.S. I don't want any debates about the definition of irony.
(end YouTube copy-paste)
And now for exclusive content! Which boils down to - ARG EDITING PROGRAM ARG. Before it crashed, the editing software gave me another problem - when it imported a clip, it gradually desynced the audio and the video over time. Identifying, learning how to fix, and fixing the problem ate up about a day of my weekend. And right after I learned how to drive the metaphorical clunker, it died on me. Oh well. C'est la vie.

Windows Movie Maker. Free, simple, does tend to freeze/crash now and then though...

Awesome that you've broken 100 views. You're going to have to start making cool graphs soon :D
ReplyDeleteDarling, I just want you to know that this video almost made me pee myself laughing.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you on break if not at Thanksgiving, I have many many stories to tell about Da Boat.
