Vidding Tech Guide Requests

[absolutedestiny]

So, I'm going to get back into the guide writing side of fan video making participation and I'm looking for requests.

There's no promises in this but I'd like to try and make some stuff to go on the web for people to use so if there are particular things about vid making that you wish you had a guide on or you are just interested in one aspect of what I do then I'd like to collect those here.

The guides I currently have planned are:

1. How I prepare my sources for editing
   
   
   
   1. How I use virtualbox for editing in Premiere 6.5 on windows 7 64bit
   
   
   2. How I prepare high def footage for editing
   
   
   3. How I make web-streamable h264 mp4 files
   
   
   
   


2. How I do various vividcon stuff
   
   
   
   1. How I put together club vivid
   
   
   2. How I put together karaoke and do subtitling
   
   
   3. How I fix common problems in submitted vid files

Ooooh. I am especially interested making in web-streamable h264 mp4 files and in hearing about how you put together CV! No requests off the top of my head, but I will probably think of something...

As someone who doesn't so much vid herself anymore, but does do a lot of vid related programming for conventions, I'm particularly interested in the Vividcon stuff! I feel like DVDs themselves are starting to be less relevant, but at the same time I'd still be interested in knowing what goes into that process.

These both sound fabulous! I'd love to hear specifically about ...all of the headings except the virtualbox/Premiere 6.5 one, because I use Premiere Pro CS4 and they're not so similar.

I would also love to hear more about any avisynth techniques and filters you use for live action video.
