[Adam Rose Esq.] “you’re just lucky”
I guess – disk is working perfectly. With the 21 ac3 audio encodes – there’s just 34megs of space left on the disk. That was close!

For 8 bucks for a domain name – a company can have any number of facets of their work appear to be their specialty.
Knowing your niche takes time. And once you hone in on that niche and are better at it than anyone else – well, things will go your way. Kinda magnetic – if you get my drift.
You guys really need to work on copy writing. Your message right now is: “We’re a bunch of young folk acting like old established farts – with pricing to suit.” It’s bad copy and misleading. You’re missing you strengths – that’s assuming you didn’t start out on an AMPEX. I did, but ask Nick – he’s a really old fart.
Anyway, you have to have a passion for communicating a message that will in some way make the world better. When you lose that passion or find yourself selling out to some butt-head client – take up cab-driving or pizza delivery.
Being a Michigan boy, I’ve always been a fan of Ernest Hemingway – I rented a cottage once from his sister. He said he always had his BS meter running. Apply that same meter to your message – be ruthless in it’s application. So, no BS, no cliches, no lies – kinda forces you to be creative, doesn’t it?

OK – starting the render – each of the in/out references to the main movie is producing it’s own audio track that needs to be rendered to AC3 – is that common or correct – or did I miss something?
-
Right. I can see the logic of it now. The 21 links point to in/outs on 21 copies (actually references) to the same media.

Yes, thanks – I think I got it – seems to be working fine but what a pain!

I have 21 shorts playing encoded as one mpg with chapter markers. The ‘Play all’ button works just fine.
Are you saying I need to insert the same mpg file 21 times to have the in and out points work for each of the 21 buttons?

[Jason Jenkins] “I’m on the lookout for someone who can revamp it and give it the SEO help it needs as well.”
I can do that for you – video web sites are my specialty – let me know.

[Brendan Coots] “an equally important step is to set up an account with Google Adwords.”
Probably the most important step. Most people think Google ads are about searches – but the lion’s share of click-throughs comes from your image ads and video ads on their content network. I’m an adwords agent for a number of clients – and create image and video ads for them – and track what’s working – typical day for one of my clients: 3 clicks on searches, 66 clicks on image and video ads on Google’s content network. The thing is made for video-guys!

[Mark Suszko] “I could see doing more of these if the money was good, but they also take a bit of an emotional toll after a while, I think. Even if you don’t know the guy.”
Ain’t that the truth! It’s one of the beauties of editing – oh, the wonder of the discoveries we bring forth!
