Unfortunately, I have also failed at getting a film done. I just could not break out of several things that have been going on in our life to get out to do shooting. I feel bad about not getting this done, especially in light of the history of the Challenge and the bringing together of UWOL and DVChallenge regulars. I hoping for a better New Year, and wish the same to all !

Re: Tales of Wonder and Woe - Charity Film Challenge 2012
 

Since I am new at this I may have done something incorrectly. I finished my film and uploaded it to YouTube, then sent the link and title to the email address provided in the rules. Was I supposed to upload it to Vimeo also? If so, I missed the boat on that step.

I would appreciate it if someone would point me in the right direction if I have strayed from the path.

This has been a great experience and I hope to do more in the future.

Thanks,
LeRoy

I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

Uploaded mine to YouTube sent Lorinda the URL.
Couldn't upload to the Vimeo UWOL page cause I didn't know the password and the file is too big to upload to my Vimeo account.

Wish YouTube would default to HD instead of 360 because the video looks crappy unless you play it back in HD

LeRoy, you did just fine! As for you, Kevin and Trond, give me a minute to refresh my memory on the Vimeo account and I will send you upload info. No worries if it is tomorrow; I have your other links.

Good heavens, are these going to be the only three films we get?!?

Should be four films with Toni's

Well, of course *slapping self on forehead.* She sent it to my email several days ago, and my memory only goes back one day. It doesn't go to the future at all anymore...I thought the challenge ended tomorrow night!

Kevin, I believe youtube play my HD videos in HD as default. Check your account settings. Might be something there.

Re: Tales of Wonder and Woe - Charity Film Challenge 2012
 

Mine defaults to 360p. It's a 1080p file so not sure why I have to change the setting every time I want to watch it?
Other videos play in HD right away. I have the play in best rez box selected but that makes no difference at all. But that's why I host my own videos and don't use YouTube.

The file was too big for Vimeo when I tried it last night so I'll compress it and see if I can upload it again.
Why am I paying for a plus account on Vimeo when I can't even upload a 4 minute HD video without compressing the hell out of it?

Re: Tales of Wonder and Woe - Charity Film Challenge 2012
 

Kevin, I'll check my youtube settings and get back to you later this week.

Re: Tales of Wonder and Woe - Charity Film Challenge 2012
 

I'm uploading to Vimeo so hopefully it will look better. I mean how many people know to switch their settings to HD on YouTube if the video quality looks bad? Probably not a lot.
Just bought Compressor and will set it for optimum settings for Vimeo and upload again. This is like the fourth time I've tried uploading to vimeo. The file is only 635MB but Vimeo keeps crashing.

Re: Tales of Wonder and Woe - Charity Film Challenge 2012
 

I use Sorenson Squeeze to encode my videos.
For youtube and vimeo I have best results when encoding to H264/ mp4.
I'll share my settings when I get back to my computer.

Hey guys, I got Kevin's Vimeo version so will be posting the 4 entries soon!
