I agree, you need more power. The estimate says "548 watts" but that doesn't mean you should get a 550W PSU, it means you should get at least 650 or even 700 to make sure your system is stable. If it can't draw enough power it will just crash and you'll damage your system. To my knowledge AMD...

Using Audacity for audio editing: If I remember correctly, Audacity isn't set up to "auto crossfade" audio (stupid, I know). This means you have to manually crossfade everything and make a small slope at the beginning of every audio file like this: (This is in REAPER but it's the same...

YT videos are all 30fps, max resolution 2k but usually 1080p and pretty damn compressed to around 8mb/s. I don't think all this extra work on the video will make a difference. I'm not a video expert though, so if you feel it makes a difference for you then by all means, go ahead. ^^ On the...

Ok I bought the Sony one. Thanks for the help! Back to making videos for me...

You plant them in pots near the window so they get a lot of sunlight then you care for and nurture them until they sprout beautiful flowers. Erm... Yeah. Do you upload stuff to Youtube? You might be interested in taking part in our little group called SocialBrainWave...

The laptop is for teaching related stuff and consuming media, not creating media, so it's not important. Just so you know though, it's Windows 8 *shivers* and after some very heavy customisation I've managed to make it work like Windows 7. XD My main computer is running Windows 7 Pro 64bit...

I just bought a new laptop though (the other one was on its way out after 3 years of very hard work). Not a good time to get a new camera. :P Speaking of buying... Any free video creation/editing software out there that can make the kind of videos I make for Youtube? What about cheap ones (less...

I don't have any decent camera or video equipment sadly. Just a phone. Not even HD.

Nice video as usual. Have you considered making the transitions between each shot fade rather than cut? I know it may seem like an amateurish idea but artistically I think it works. Nature isn't straight cuts and square pegs, it's curved, flowing. Short fades would reflect that, I feel. Going...

Nothing against it personally, I enjoyed the film and felt the 3D was put to good use. We'll see how it goes.

Or maybe they just appreciate any help they can get?! I absolutely agree that someone who only does music production has a lot to learn about mixing for film, but they will still be in a much, much better position to deal with audio in film than the director themselves, especially if the audio...

Nice! Actually made me laugh. :)

It's been confirmed that John Williams will score episode VII too, which is fantastic news. :D

For $500 you won't get much. For video editing you need about 8gb RAM, an i5 should do the job at your budget and then the graphics card will eat up the rest of your budget. If I was building my own PC at that price range I'd get: AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE (or maybe something a little better)...

Yeah you're right... I'll leave you guys to it.

... No... You've got it wrong. Social Brain Wave is that. It is simply more diverse with a view to include EVERYONE, not just directors/publishers of film but also people who create content geared towards films. Film is a wide basket that borrows from many disciplines such as visual art, music...

Just to keep things flowing on this thread, I'll post my latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuJAQwwcNhU Ray I think you'll like this, it's very "80's rock" but with a slightly heavier sound.

This rubbed me up the wrong way. I'm trying to teach common courtesy for indie film makers here and you're telling them to not give a damn about people they work with. They should be courteous to everyone they work with, composer, editor or actor, it doesn't matter, but here we're talking about...

Haha, so true. We do. Big but often fragile egos, like many creative areas. I think it's because when you're doing a creative job, if you're doing it properly, you're giving people access to some parts of you on the inside you often keep to yourself. So when someone says "I don't like it"...

As a composer myself, if I was working for you I would ask you a specific group of questions tailored to extract as much relevant information from you as possible because it seems that, as you pointed out, directors have a lot of trouble communicating what it is they're really looking for. As...
