what. the. frak?

Okay so, as previously mentioned, I re-installed Windows on Sunday. I was in the middle of a vidding project at the time. But no worries I backed everything up on my hard drive. So yesterday I opened my project file, just to make sure that it was all in working order. And it was. So good, yay, happy, claps, etc.

But tonight, Dayln and I started working on a fun little fifteen second challenge for each other. And I noticed it was rendering much more slowly than usual. At first, I assumed it was simply because I hadn't entered in my usual rendering specs and it was probably rendering at a much higher quality/rate/etc than I'm used to. So when I went to render the entire (mega-monster-huge!) fifteen second clip (over half of which is still just black space!) it decided it was going to take eternity Finally I ended up just letting it render at 256k and it took seven minutes. Seven. MINUTES for a fifteen second clip, well over half of which doesn't even have video clips.

I thought maybe there was the off-chance it was the Firefly episode I was using, so I opened up my HCL project and tried to render a 20 second clip at 256k... it was projecting 30 minutes+ I stopped it before it could climb any higher.

Normally, something like that would take 1-3 minutes to render, at a much higher quality on my computer. Now. It's the same computer. I just re-installed windows. So I know this computer can render with Vegas (6.0) much more quickly. The question is... how do I fix this shit? Cause there is NO WAY I can vid like this.

Do any of my vidding buddies out there have any suggestions for me?

ETA: So the main issue was that my USB Port drivers weren't re-installed so it was running at standard (not hi) speed. Go me. Thank you purestvixen for figuring that one out for me! It's fixed it significantly, though I'm not sure its performing like it used to. But that remains to be seen. Wish me luck!

a higher calling

I'm supposed to be doing homework but here's the thing.

A while back, I started to hear this soft... sucking sound. Turns out, cynthia_arrow could hear it too. We discussed the matter, and after further investigation, we came to realize that the sucking sound we were hearing? Was the major suckage that is the extreme lack of boyslash in the BSG fandom!

Obviously, some higher power was afoot, pointing us the path to our destiny. God or gods, we heard the call and we answered it. We created bsg_slashathon. You can join now, readers and writers alike, and if you are so inclined, sign-ups start on January 20th. (RPF Welcome!)
