Video Clip Tips

Its pretty cool that we are in a time where we can shoot a video with our tiny little cameras and then upload to the web to share. But, it doesn't mean it isn't somewhat of a tedious process. Your internet connection may be quicker than mine here in Nome so this may not be as big of an issue for you. But, for me it takes what seems like forever to load these video clips. And while its loading you get little snippets of the video in choppy segments. So, this is what I do to avoid getting too frustrated. . . I push the play button and then when it says its loading I push the stop button. It will still load, but you won't have to deal with the choppy snippets while its doing it. I then minimize the screen and work on something else for a while. When you come back to it, you'll see the grey bar completely across the bottom and you'll know its fully loaded and ready to play. You can do this with multiple clips at the same time and then come back to it later.

By the number of posts I've had recently its clear that I have way too much time on my hands. Oh well, at least I have something to keep me a little occupied while I'm down. . .
