Video: down to the wire.
The editing and titles were done at 2:00 today, about two hours behind my mental schedule. Still, it's done, at least this version.
There is a block of footage that still needs to be stabilized, but there just isn't time. Here's what I'm guessing: they want to play the video at Sherri's visitation, to have it going in the background. I will create a version 1 of the DVD: just the video and titles as they are today. Later, I'll do the stabilizing and a full authoring job on the DVD to present to her husband.
Motherfucker...my PC just spontaneously rebooted on me in the middle of rendering Act 2. Son of a bitch...Well, I HOPE I can get the video ready to burn to disk. This could be bad...
Edit: The transcoder's been going for three hours and the computer is still chugging away. The "Current Task" meter is just over halfway...the "Overall Progress" meter is only 10%. I hope that doesn't mean I'm looking at twenty-seven more hours before it's complete. Here's hoping the processes after the transcoding are much, much faster.
This is a kind of tension I haven't felt since my early twenties, that "my girlfriend might be pregnant" kind of tension, and it's because this project matters. So few do.
