It's getting Longer and Harder

No, I am not talking about the length of the clip (or length of any other things that you might think of .... : ) actually I wasn't thinking had any dirty pun when I came up with this Post Title but after when I start writing this post, I realized it could mean more than one thing ... other than the point I wanted to make about the video clip length & editing process

Lost ? haha Don't worry about it ... I am just rambling to myself

anyway, the second video for Peter Chan exclusive interview was just posted ... the longer and harder bit referred to the editing part. At first, I thought it's going to be easy ... the front n back bits are already done for the first video and for the second video, I thought I could just modified slightly from the first one ... but it turn out to be so much harder than I could have expected

the last time I worked on the clip, it took me 5 hours (yeah 5 hours of my life that I can't claim back and not paid for!) and this time round, it took me slight more than ... 8 HOURS !!!

actually come to think of it ... I am not sure why I took longer than before ... the length of this clip is shorter compared to the first two and yet I spend more time cutting it, extracting the audio (which took so much time! 6 mins per clip, a trick I found out was that it's faster to rip the whole audio clip out and lock it to which ever clip u want) and trying to save more file space ...

the auto shut down and inability to read titf files didn't help with the morale either ....

I feel so tired right now I could just fall asleep and sleep thru my dinner .... (and I didn't have my lunch yet cos my Sister's Maid ate my leftover pasta that I cooked the other night but that another story)

haiz there still another one more to go and although I am expecting it to be even shorter, I got a feeling I might just spend more time editing it ... at least I know what will be on my third clip liao ...

Enjoy the clip ...
