Posting Partially Complete Videos...

Postby mwalker » Tue Feb 04, 2003 10:23 pm

Is it considered 'OK' to post partially complete videos, so that people can see what you're working on, or is that a big No-No?

Maybe I'm out of the loop here, but I can't decipher what you might mean by 'GD'. Care to clue me in?

In the database, the videos you post should be ones that have either been completed or something that you are currently working on, so something not yet complete but has at least begun the editing process is good to post.

There is nothing wrong of course but I think you should keep your working on vids in your profile only until you have them 100% done. There is no end to the problems that can happen...HD crashes, school, or you could even develop a healthy social life and then all amv making goes on the back burner :wink: leaving an incorrect listing in the catalog.

I am almost finished with my 80's vid. But it won't even go up until the final 3 copies are fully rendered (mpeg2, avi, and mpg) because you can't remove a video listing as easily as you can submit one.

I have the entry for the video posted. I was referring to a /link/ to the partially complete video file itself.

Actually, as long as you don't mark the video entry with a 'Premiered' date, it's dead easy to change information.

Nah, I mean if you list something you later need removed (i.e. the video doesn't exist) you can't remove it from the database yourself. Ya gotta bug Phade.

Well, unless a /major/ disaster happens in my life, I'm finishing this video. It's screaming to be made. ;)

I've got another 5-6 seconds actually done, but I didn't have time to upload them before I ran out of the house this morning.

Hey mwalker,

Videos should not be entered into the catalog until they are completed. If you want to have 1 or 2 people give you some constructive criticism as you complete your video, that is fine; just give it to them privatly. But mass distributing a partially completed video is dumb. It makes you look like someone who can't complete a video or get it right the first time so they have to re-tweak it and re-tweak it and re-tweak it again. None of the good, well respected video creators would ever enter or mass distribute a video that was not complete.

The Golden Donut rule for uploading videos will be one upload per video; that's it. You should upload your final, completed video only. You don't get a second upload to replace it with. (Well, maybe I will implement it so that you can have the possibility to re-upload after a year or so of the initial upload because of the changing methods of video compression with better quality, but that will be at least a year after the Donut opens.)

So, to sum up: Partially completed videos should not be entered into the catalog.

Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^

Phade.
