You want to edit, yet don't want to edit?

Postby Kazemon15 » Tue Dec 01, 2009 5:17 pm

Been feeling like this for the past few months. I've been dying to edit a new amv...but at the same time, don't want to take the time to rip the dvd, convert, actually edit, take the time to make it fit, ect... to make it short, I just want to release something, but have nothing edited, therefore, have nothing to release. Also can't edit due to school swamping my time.

Anyone feel like this? If so, what do you guys do to relieve this feeling or keep your mind off of it?

I've felt the same way for 4 years, only difference is it's only the ripping part. The making it fit part is still very enjoyable to me.

Haha.

Yeah, basically that. I'm too lazy to edit, yet I want to edit. XD :up: I just said it in words to not make me look lazy

I'm the same way, except I don't really mind ripping and preparing the footage. It's the editing that I don't want to do.

I love the editing part. It's the ripping that I'm always too lazy to do.

That's not the cure. That is the curse itself.

Yeah. I think I also set my own bar too high.

The thing that kills my motivation to do any of that isn't so much not enjoying any of those things by themselves, it's not enjoying them because my computer is 8 years old and it would probably be less painful to have my teeth pulled. Without Novocaine. With a pair of plyers.

Just kidding. But it is bad enough at times to make me dread it. Also, because for me to watch a lot of stuff on my computer, I've got to convert it into a form this thing can handle, and that sucks up a lot of time too.

My peak of editing - by numbers, not quality - was when I had a job I absolutely hated. I'm guessing the editing was a form of catharsis or something. Even if I might not hate any job I end up getting now, maybe it was because I was more pressed for time that I could focus better.

I've got three seperate projects where the DVD is ripped, AVS script made, audio is trimmed/normalized, and everything is ready to edit right down to having the project setup in Premiere. I just can't get off of my arse to actually EDIT the damned things...
