i am... making something. and i think i want to have the background be not just music this time and do a voice over. that being said, the idea of having to go through my own video and caption it myself makes me want to pull my skin off into small ribbons
i was thinking, because that one auto-caption OBS plugin is pretty good, that maybe i'd record myself in OBS JUST talking over the video, rip the audio and captions from that, and put it into vegas for editing. (with the idea that i would be editing the captions instead of doing them from scratch)
that being said, i could easily see this not going great. does anyone have any tips that could save time and brain energy? (i am the kind of person where going back to something over and over again makes me fucking crazy, which is why this has to be low effort/low overhead)
so. vlc decided it will not convert the last 2/3rds of this mkv. i have TRIED starting it where the first conversion ended (a little more than an hour in) but every single time it's compressed the SHIT out of the footage and i don't know why. i even tried matching video codecs to the clip that's working and for some reason it just shits out with an error
i really want to like. actually do this project. i want to see it through, but god i'm ready to commit violence
(please do not suggest to me to just use a different software. i am not going to download anything new unless i absolutely have to. unless it is literally fucking impossible.)
okay so here's where we stand:
- vlc can record videos, and do so at a pretty good speed
- the problem is, it doesn't actually resample the frames when it exports the video, no, it just exports it at however many fps it takes to make it go the speed you want it to and vegas DOES NOT like 900+fps video files (cool, sick, nice)
- re-encoding the video after it's been sped up can totally be done, but also! make sure your bitrate is good or else it looks like shit!!
- oops actually after a minute in or so it STILL looks like shit for compression reasons
i have this stupid thing where i need to follow something through. i need to give it a shot while i still have things to try. i know it's stupid. i know i probably am going to just have to accept that this speedpaint is not gonna get done. but goddammit....
