Labor Day Weekend by the Numbers
Sep. 3rd, 2012 05:59 pmNumber of doctors visited when I couldn't take the pain anymore and also started running a fever: 1
Number of sinus infections diagnosed: 1
Number of times it feels like my face has been punched by a very angry boxer: ELEVENTY
Amount better I feel after 30 hours of antibiotics: Not very, hope this changes soon
Number of vids completed: About .5 (I went with the "wacky Fringe" one due to overwhelming popular support. Heh.)
Amount better at ripping source and optimizing clips in iMovie my new laptop is compared to my old: INDESCRIBABLY*
Weird things the OS 10.8 version of iMovie '11 does compared to the older version of iMovie '11: Several, but most strange is that now you can choose a framerate for your projects (maybe you always could I just never knew), but when I chose 24 fps, like most--but not all, which is another bafflement--of my clips from Fringe episodes are, it looked like hell, but 30 fps looks beautiful. WTF?
* Example: In Handbrake, my old computer could rip footage at around 20-25 frames per second if I was using it, and maybe 30 fps if I quit out of every other program and just left it alone. Now the average is anywhere from 145 to 170 fps, depending on what else I have open. I'm almost afraid to try it with every other program shut down. Basically, it used to take me more than hour to rip a standard US TV episode; it now takes less than ten minutes.
