Three rules of vidding.
Sep. 7th, 2005 08:31 pmi. When you drop a clip into the timeline entirely at random, some interesting movement will fall right on the beat, like a little gift from the vidding gods.
Corollary: when you are trying to make something move on the beat, this will not happen.ii. When hunting clips for a particular vid, you will come across clips for all the other vids you were thinking of making, but not for the one that's actually in progress.
Corollary: if you don't rip all those other clips right now, you will never find them again.iii. When you don't have an ending, your vid has turned A/U on you halfway through and your song has deeply peculiar lyrics, do not panic. That's what betas are for.
Corollary: when all the clips fall into place like clockwork, worry.
