Adobe Premiere

I am trying to make a trailer. I am using Adobe Premiere.

I guess the best way to describe using Premiere is that you attempt to do something logical with a computer program, and Premiere will throw you a puzzle. You're now no longer working on your trailer, but you're solving a fun Adobe puzzle!

I am trying to put static JPGs into the clip. For some reason Premiere has decided to ZOOM on the clip.

So this will be 30 minutes to two hours wasted.

The best trailer-making software in the world, everyone!

So I finally found a program that will record the contents of a monitor.

It records the taskbar too. Just what I wanted for a trailer! I am now going to have to fix that.

So it's the capture software that's giving you fits? I never tried to do a screen capture before, perhaps this is something worth looking into. I've always used Cyberlink for reg'lar video editing.

If you have an NVidia graphics card, you can try "GeForce Experience", which comes with "Shadowplay", which nowadays should be able to record the desktop as-is. It's free, but you need to have a compatible NVidia card.

Choose the highest possible bitrate, since you intend to re-encode later in Premiere.

ManyCam can record a program, a section of the desktop, or the entire desktop. I'll send you a copy if you want it.

Something didn't work for me using that, but I can't remember what. Helpful! I am Mister Helpful.

Yeah. I got around the problem by having my Windows taskbar auto-hide, and then putting Cyberganked in ... well, full-screen, but not Full Screen Mode.

So I got past this one.

Hmm. Sounds a little too good to be true. No, seriously, thanks. I'm always interested in new programs that fail to capture my text games correctly. No, for reals, THANKS!

So I think the re-sizing video problem is explained and solved by this:

You'd think Steam Greenlight would be easy, right?

There's no way to upload a screenshot or a video at the moment.

Guess we won't be going "live" tonight. Jesus fuck, places ought to be paying me $450,000 to run automation testing for them. A day, not a year.
