Title: Lads Video & Pics
Post by: Tan on September 13, 2007, 15:15:52 PM
Been meaning to get these up last week and to say that we have a new name for Harry lad.  He is now called Marley  :)

Well Marl and Garf have been getting on soooo very well. Here's a video of one of the early plays in the garden and some pics.  :)

PLease ignore messy garden needs mowing etc etc  :tired: lol

The lads love their tall poles and just hang off them  :evillaugh:

Aw Tan, that vid is brill, made me laugh. So pleased my garden looks like yours with a 'cat toy paradise'. A friend called yesterday & said my garden was like a cat nursery & 'they' were taking over... So!

Would love to put a vid of my own on but Photobucket wont take it as it says the file is too big even though it is less than 2 mins long. Any clues on how to reduce file size. Can do it on photos with Photoshop but not vids.

Try using windows movie maker (free with most computers, or you can download it from microsoft).  Apart from its simple to use editing features, it has a compression function.

Import the video into windows movie maker. Tinker with it if you want. Then save to your computer as 512bps, which is small and reasonable quality for a small picture size.

Hope this helps.

There are some great 'how to' vids concerning using this programme on youtube, just type the name of the programme into youtube's search bar. I think the ones by 'Tushygalore' are the best.

Purrlishous, go into windows movie maker, on the taskpane you'll see 'import video'. Go to this and follow the instructions (you'll have to browse for the location of the video file, then import it).

It might be broken into clips, but each clip is numbered. Along the bottom of the screen, use the 'storyboard' format, not the 'time line' and slide the pieces, in order, into the squares. This will put the video back together. When you've done this, press the 'play' arrow underneath the little telly thing on the right, and watch your vid to check it's back together okay.

When done. Go to the 'save to my computer' bit on the taskpane, follow the instructions until you get to the bit where you have a drop down menu about the size of file you want to save this as (loads of choices, I think the default is 'best quality for my computer' which is too big) pick the 'broadband 512 (it might be 516, not sure)' then continue following the instructions. The video will save to your computer again as a smaller file and in wma format, which is small.

Hope this helps. I learned how to use it by watching vids. Try these:
