(Via metafandom) Yes. This. I cannot properly express the amount of my agreement with plain old italics. I just...every time I see "vidding is hard" I want to say, but it doesn't have to be! I think vidder angst (and gorgeous vids!) do intimidate and scare people off, so I'm glad this post is about the JOY. Yes, okay, it can get hard, and tech issues will eventually come up, but...I made my first vid with downloaded source in WMM which I randomly discovered I had on my computer after realizing that one of my favorite songs would be perfect for one of my favorite aspects of my then-favorite show. And I watched the first 30 seconds I ever vidded for like THREE DAYS STRAIGHT (there was stuff! on the timeline! moving! to the music!). And then I showed it to my friend, who was also making her first vid, and we almost died of squee and 30-second vid snippets. And in the end, it was still dirt simple, editing-wise, but it's still one of my favorite things I've done. I'm sure for some people, in the end the time will not be worth it, or it will get too hard, or various other things will happen, but it makes me sad that people think the tech bar is higher than it is and cut themselves off at the pass. So mostly, yes, this post. :)
