As much as I love video editing, compiling and organising the videos we took into nice, sweet, memorable ‘movie’ for keepsake, this software that I am using, Windows Movie Maker is driving me NUTS! and thus this ranting
I hate it when the program hangs
I hate it when my unfinished work takes forever to load
I hate it when the video is all distorted and beyond recognition
because every frames lag so badly
I hate it when I get the big yellow EXCLAIMATION mark
which gives me unbelievable insane warning
I blame it on my dinosaur lappie
only to realise that I am not the only victim
I meddle with the paging file
I free up as much space as I can
I split up video frames
and even music too
But what a big mistake
to stress my rusty brain
dividing minutes into seconds
and seconds into the 100ths
I pull hair, I curse, I complain
I am sure it took a few years off my life
and finally I get to compile
I sit with fingers crossed
as well as toes too
1, 2, 3
BINGO!
It works!
I know it has to work
by hook or by crook
for all the woes and frustrations it has caused
happy ? maybe. satisfied ? yeah
but one thing for sure
to save my sanity
this shall be the LAST TIME
I lay hands on WMM !!!
and because it was quite a big file, the resolution of the video suffers when it gets uploaded to youtube. haiz!

OMG! look at your little one! chasing the birds and flying around…
mommy! you surely have made your kid the happiest kid in the world!
you know, when all those ‘digital’ stuff happens to me…i will do all of that which you did and I’ll shake the monitor…poor monitor!
Hey Aifang
Excellent video.. we are “drooling” when we watched the video.. so beautiful.. how come u are nt in the video? Hows life? take care and continue to take all the breathtaking scenery!!
Beautiful memories… You must show this to Mal when he grows up. He sure has one unusual childhood.
I hv to say this, u are very poetic. Even your rantings come out in poetic phrases!
I can feel yr frustration as I read this post!
hey angeline,
hope that he will remember these when he grow up. for now, I think he is happy becos daddy and mummy are with him, even if he is doing dangerous stuff. haha
HALO june!
me not in video cos I am always the one holding the camera! haha, I also said the same thing to mako! Life’s ok, cannot complain la..waiting for u all to come and take over. haha
hey ing,
actually that is what i did, once a while, i will show him all the videos I had made, he kind of like it.
dono whether u can call that poetry haha. Sometimes I find it easier to express myself this way, dont have to think about sentence construction hehe
wow..beautiful, wonderful holidays..though the process of making can drive one nuts, the final product is something to be proud of..it def a good pressie for mal when he grows up..
I totally loved watching this. I prefer this over clicking endlessly through 400 pics of people’s albums.
Thanks
i like your video.. nice way to capture the moments into a short video clip. then it’s not too lengthy and boring. gd idea!
