I'm just going through the various postings here on GWW about video editing and encoding. Lots of great info.
Are there some "blond" oriented tuturials around that would be of help to a newbie?

give us all the info on your project that you can and i'm sure some of us will try to help.
what program are you using to edit / encode the videos?
what format are the videos you are trying to edit / encode?
what format(s) are you trying to encode them to?
what editing do you need to do?
nothing out of the ordinary basschick!
just starting small with my first paysite.
looking at a 'chevette' rather than a cadillac.
i've got everything pretty much nailed down except for content options... particularly vids/streaming/vids/dvds/ etc.
Right now I'm just following the KISS(keep it simple, stupid) principle as much as humanly possible! :confused:
there is no "ordinary". i've reviewed over 1500 paysites and every company or site has their own settings, sizes, formats, etc.
keep in mind that chevette videos won't make members come back unless your content is a very unique niche or you have truly exceptional models. so lower quality or smaller vids can cost you retention, especially as a lot of sites are now offering larger vids.
do you have programs to edit and encode yet or are you still looking? if you're still looking, try the cheaper versions of sony vegas. you can try them for 30 days for free and i recommend vegas highly. both of these are under $150.

one step up - supports HD and has a few more tools

for cutting clips, boilsoft's splitter is fast, easy and does a great job

if you're only going with a single video format, WMV is self streaming without any software, which is a big plus. despite what you may have heard, you can make excellent quality WMVs and most people can watch them, particularly if you don't go with the very latest codec.
if you're going with 2 formats, you can either try MPG (which is virtually universal and some PC users prefer it) or Quicktime (pretty much all Mac users can see these, although i believe they can also see MPGS).
i wish i could give you better answers but your questions haven't really nailed down what it is you want to know. the more specific you get, the better answers we can give!

BUT there seems to a lot of photo content out there to purchase but much less quality video content and even less combined photo/vid content of same model/session.
So I'm sort of scratching my head about what to do.
license full DVD's and rip 'em. they are gonna be full sized and high quality. otherwise it sort of depends on what you have to spend.

as i understand it, WWC has documents for some of their DVDs, so if all else fails, you can always ask before buying...
You're welcome -- nice to know the list is still being used.Quote:
