Editing Marathon

kri · Post by **kri** » February 16th, 2006, 1:46 pm

Posting in off-topic, not discussion because it's a bit of a frivolous subject. Anyway....

Despite the fact that I hate, hate, hate editing...Since I have so many recordings to edit, I'm declaring tomorrow my editing marathon day!! I have the day off, and I have to get up early. I'll have plenty of time, and plenty to edit.

I'm going to have to do the lazy quick edit, without listening over. I'll just have to ask my generous fellow volunteers to take a quick proof-listen to it all afterwards!!

Wish me luck?

Look for my listeners wanted thread in the next few days!

Thanks!!

I think I have more than three recordings, heheh. Fortunately a bunch of them are short. I'm sure I can get them done tomorrow!!

Good luck to you Betsie

Happy editing, Kri.

I happen to like editing myself--more than reading, actually. The only problem is that my wrist starts hurting when I do it a lot.

I'm loath to suggest a cooperative effort between us at this time, but perhaps later you can do the readings and I'll edit.

Hey, that would be great

I have the wrist problem with editing too, although I use the computer quite a bit so..that contributes to it as well.

I hate editing as much as anyone, but I always do it right after I shut off the mic. It's easier to remember what was going on in my head as I read the stuff and it's really no worse doing it then than doing it any other time.

Besides, that way it's freakin' DONE and I can move on to something else.

Best of luck on Friday!

Thanks Chip!

Gosh darn it! The day before an editing marathon is not the time to catch up on your recording, heheh.

Good luck, Kristin and Betsie! A little while ago I resolved to edit straight after recording and so far have stuck with it - it's great!

That's what I did in the very beginning, and because I was excited to get my recordings up and it was a new thing...it was easy. Now....Well, yeah

I guess I still need to work out a system that works for me.

Perhaps I should take on the Chip diet, as Hugh calls it. We'll see.

I was so exhausted last night, that I ended up going to bed right after dinner... so didn't get much editing done... but I obviously needed the sleep, so I got something productive done instead =)

Kri, How's the editing going so far today? how about posting a list of the ones you're working on and then we can cheer you on as you check them off the list? ... or at least a link to your entry in the Keeping Track thread?

OK, here's my keeping track thread. I have my list in red there (instead of green

)

I only have two left!! Albeit, they're the longer ones, but let's look on the bright side of things.

*looks on the bright side*
good job Kri! =)

Done Done Done!!

Phew, I'm glad that's over. Now I can record a few of the projects I've been putting off *ahemWifeofBath*ahem.

Thanks for the encouragement Betsie

How's it going with the few that you needed to edit?
