Does this ever happen to you?

You're halfway through making a vid, but whenever you open it up to try to edit it any further you just keep watching the first half over and over? It's so painful, I really wanna finish this vid, but I can't seem to focus.
The best effects are the ones you don't notice.

Hmm. Suppose you edited the second half in another file?

I rewatch what I made everytime I make an edit. Sometimes I can spend half an hour staring at the same two seconds over and over just to make sure I get it right. Honestly I don't find it annoying and label it as part of the creative process. You have to watch it multiple times if you want to get it just right.

That would be a good AMV T-Shirt idea...

"After days of editing, all I got was this damn beta..."

:twisted:

I ran into a road block with my latest video and will be released at the end of the month. :roll:

Yeah I do the same, watch segments over and over again. I don't actually mind, cause I want it to look exactly how I want it to.

It actually makes me excited to see what I have, and gives me further drive to keep working on it ^^

If I lose slight interest in a project, I keep watching it over and over again and 100% I get the motivation back ^^ it's a helpful way to work on long projects XD

My best thing to do to cure this problem is to be more productive with every editing session, that way you don't have to be outputing so much. With my vids I don't even output for the first tiem until the timeline is filled. This all means that you have to plan better. The more you have an image of what you want, the better chance you have of fullfilling that ideal. ^_^

Actually, it's a mixture of both for me. I spend LOTS of time planning and lots of time watching as I build the video. I do use a realtime editing card so I get real time preview for the rough verson. Then after a tracks, effects, titles, etc, the evil render key becomes my best friend (or worst nightmare!)
