pkittle this one's for you

Don't ask me why I'm doing this at 12:30AM, I just am. ok. So here's how my DigiDoc is coming along: I spent the majority of my day today installing programs and upgrades for this program my dad gave me called Pinnacle Studio. He said it was really cool and pretty easy to use and that it is basically another version of Windows Movie Maker, but from what little work I did on WMM I didn't think this project was going to be easy at all. For thursday's class I had drawn a storyboard in my notebook and I knew which images I wanted to use AND which songs. When I got to class, I felt really behind and I started to freak out a little bit. After working with Pinnacle today, with what little patience I had left, I managed to bust out a whole minute and ten seconds. I found it surprisingly easy to put the images I wanted along with music and fun transitions. I really felt like I was making a little movie. Now that I have had some experience with Pinnacle I feel like it will be easier in the next few days (haha.. procrastination) to figure a few more things out and make a really cool little movie. I did ran into a few problems on my journey through movie making land today(and I remember you don't know anything about Pinnacle pkittle so I am not asking for your help, I am just blogging) : 1. I saved all of my images and videos I had in the same folder called YOGASTUFF. For some reason when I pull that folder up in Pinnacle the videos aren't there. I'm assuming since they are saved in my computer through quicktime, which is from Apple, they end in .mov and .mov videos aren't compatible with programs like Pinnacle, which is from Intel. I'm going to try saving them in a different folder that IS accessible through Pinnacle and see if I can get them to work. IF NOT, I DO have a question for you pkittle, do we HAVE to use videos? ok. 2. I can't figure out how to use my roommate's jumpdrive thing. I stick it in my USB port and it opens but I can't figure out how to save it on there. any suggestions?? Alright. In conclusion.. I guess I can say that I feel better about this project than I thought I would at this point. I don't feel great but, I think everything will be fine.
