I also ♥ technology. Oh what I wouldn't give to have the latest and greatest editing software at my disposal.
I just happen to be dirt broke. Fuck.
So there I am, fighting the good fight, trying to cope with Windows Movie Maker. I finally get a video camera of my own and what happens? Its videos are a file type that Movie Maker does not like. What to do, what to do...
I know! Google. The solution to all of life's problems.* Right, let's get typing..."movie maker .mov". Search. Ah! Here's something that could help...a website that labels itself as a geek-filled answering pit (or something of the like). This sounds promising. As I scroll down through the thread I see it: "Windows Live Movie Maker accepts .MOV files, it's only a few days old". PERFECT!
Naturally, at this point I think that all my problems are solved. I'm home scott-free! I go to the website, download the file, execute the installer, open it up and BAM! I can't understand a thing.
Go ahead, call me stupid, I don't disregard this fact. I just don't get this thing at all. I never dreamed I'd say this about technology, but for once, it's too simple. I just cannot get my head around it. I'm sure in a few months time I'll have gotten the hang of it, but by then I'll expect a plethora of updates will have come out and I'll still be left behind.
Damn.
*Except not really. =]
