Comments on: A Wedding Story — REDACTED! http://blog.arlomidgett.com/2005/05/04/a-wedding-story-redacted/ Sporadic and rambling by design.

I used a Sony digital camcorder with a DV cable (iLink, Firewire, IEEE1394, or whatever else you'd like to call it) connecting it to my laptop. I then used Premiere 6 to digitize the video, using the stop-frame capture feature instead of the normal movie capture. Capturing 1 frame every 2 seconds will give you a 60x increase in speed (conveniently making 1 hour elapse in 1 minute). Premiere 6 is great for this – too bad Adobe didn’t keep the same functionality in the next version (Premiere Pro). There are only a couple other things to watch out for: • Disable the screen saver / hibernation / standby modes on the laptop. They’ll stop the recording. • Don’t attempt to use any other programs on the laptop while capturing. Premiere must remain the foreground application, or it’ll stop recording. • Plug in both laptop and camcorder to AC power. Batteries work fine… until they run out of juice. Actually, no.

Drats, I posted two pictures from the wedding on my blog...I'll take them down though if you think I should. Did "they" not wish to have their names or photographs online?
