It’s Saturday! I’m sorry this post is coming to you so late, but this morning I tried (for the second time around) to edit together a makeup tutorial I shot on Friday, and… ugh. Yesterday, I downloaded a free program that was seemingly okay, but at the very end of editing when I was all ready to export and had gone through uploading it from the program straight to YouTube, I realized that the free version would only export videos with a HUGE watermark right over the middle of the video frame… through the entire thing.
So I removed that program and realized it had downloaded me a few virusy things as well, which thankfully I got rid of… and my husband — who is much more knowledgeable than me on these things — found me a different program that seemed good this morning. But as I was editing I was thinking “man, this is JUST like the other program; everything is exactly the same!” and sure enough, I got done and once again it would only upload with a huge watermark over my face.
And then we tried Windows Movie Maker, but it won’t take my files because apparently it hates me. And then we tried using a file converter and WMM still hated me. And then it also downloaded AVG Safe Search and automatically installed it in my browser, so I had to remove that AND THEN… nothing was working.
Suffice it to say, this morning has not been nice. But I’m about to do a photoshoot, and I have lots of fun links to share today, so it’ll get better!
