Thoughts of a late night knitter

I'm reccing Star Trek at crack_van this month and I suddenly realised that I really haven't seen many Trek vids.

This is strange since the one of the first things I usually look for in any fandom is vids and lots of them. If they're about my OTP I'm even quicker to pounce. In fact some fandoms I only know through vids and have never even looked at the stories etc :)

So I'm asking for recs for Star Trek vids especially, but would like any others you want to tell me about too!

I wanted to finish my travel posts tonight but Photobucket is soooooo slow.

So instead I started looking at my vids and *grrrrrrrrrr*

As LadyT knows I finally finished my vid for xx_squish_xx while I was at her place. And then the green lines of death appeared. They weren't visible while editing, but after publishing there they were!! I finally got back on track to fix it - and they can't be fixed.

Apparently, with Windows Movie Maker, the lines are common when you use too many transistions. I thought the whole point of the PTBs giving us transistions was for us to use them? Maybe the point is to frustrate us instead?

I'm determined now *resolved face is on*. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a video editing program. I'm thinking PowerDirector6. Judging from the reviews it does a good job and is in my limited price range. Has anyone out there an opinion on it?

I made this vid for guinny_hamilton's birthday. She is a huge fan of the awesome Marcus Hamilton (played by Adam Baldwin) from Angel and writes the bestest Marcus fics!!! If you want to read them - they're all at bigbadinarmani...

I'm still learning the vidding trade - but hope you like it!!

Edit: Not work safe!!

I'm on holidays! For three glorious weeks, I'll be at home. The little guy's at school, so we aren't going anywhere; just staying home. And once I get the garden back under control and the house tidied I want to try my hand at a fanvid.

I've never done this before and it'll probably be crappy - but I want to try. So I need song suggestions from my musical flist!!

I actually have an idea for a Wash video and the music to accompany it. But what a really want to do is try (as if you can't guess, a Jaylee vid! Now ladytalon1 has given me some suggestions, but I'm greedy and need more...*bats eyelashes* pleeeeease?
