Today was a frustrating day. I'm so angry at my computer right now, I almost can't talk about it.
Almost.
Here's the what:
I'm making a movie, well, a music video to be more precise, for my Digital Media class that I'm taking for my Master's in Technology in Schools. I spent three hours yesterday editing, remixing, editing some more, until I was happy with the final product. Then, I went to convert it to a movie format to save to my computer, or a DVD, and.....NOTHING! It wouldn't convert.
Today I spent the last 5 hours trying to fix this problem, and I'm still not sure what is going on. I'm so freaking frustrated right now. Grr! Grr! Arrghhh!!!
Okay, take a deep breath.
Take another.
Maybe one more.
Now count to ten.
Slowly......
You WILL figure this out. You WILL fix this problem. And you WILL have a kickin' music video when it's all done. So chill out a little. Take a look at the big picture. There's no need to freak out. You don't need a candy bar. Or ice cream. Hey! Put that Hershey's bar down, I saw that!!
Okay, I think I'm feeling a little bit better.
But I still feel like this....

you CAN do this Dorian! I hate computer problems in my master's program too, but i haven't had any problem as bad as what you describe. good luck!btw, i am so glad you are back to regular blogging! i missed you!
what program are you using to edit?
Hey Johnster! I was using Windows Movie Maker, and it's pissing me off. So I borrowed my brother's iMac and used iMovie and it was like buttah! I think I've talked my husband into buying an iMac this weekend because it was so freaking awesome.
yes, movie maker would be frustrating to work with- i might have been able to talk you through it, but doing it with imovie was a very good call. I heartily endorse your request for an iMac, in case your husband was wondering.
