As some will remember I had a post some days ago about the big deal
of 100 tracks and creating wall(s).

I have again explored the possibilities, but just to some extent.
While working with this little "experiment", I was determined to keep
track of pre-renderings. I lost count.

PD9 is a tool where you should be quite certain of what you want to
happen sequence by sequence in your video.
Changes does not agree much with
#9, therefore pre-rendering is a certain bet.

At the most, I used 11 tracks. I suspect I could have been ok with 7-8,
but for my own convenience I used more.
So - what have I learned?

This time I used the grid-lines.
In my opinion, that leaves a rather dull atmosphere in the video.
It will leave a predictable impression, meaning; that if I'm going to
use "wall-effect" in a video, I will change aspect ratio of the various clips -
thus making a more interesting screen.
Or - if I want to draw attention of "the beholders eye" to a point in
the screen where something specific happens/I want to happen, I can use the
gridlines to place it.

It seems like modifying-window is more cooperative when using grid-lines.
And - certainly more cooperative when using clips of 5-20 sec. -
and not bringing in a lot of un-rendered stuff at once.
(Pre-rendering!)

I am not sure I will be using "the wall" much. In fact, I'm pretty sure I won't.
To my elderly eyes it is not appealing, nor to my way of creating an expression.
Maybe if I had a company and wanted to display my products I would see
it differently. 1- 3 overlays, though, in exciting and unexpected instances can
be much fun or well suited in a video.

I am quite done with my learning-curve now, regarding PD9 and "the wall".
Still - I am bewildered of the 100 tracks, but I'll just let it go....

If having a peek at my experiment is of interest, you'll find it here:

I have used photo-software, I have converted, some sequences are made in
other video-software. I have been using mp4-format all through process.
In the end, everything were put together in PD9.




Just something.

Very cute, but sometimes beautiful photographs like in your video is much better without the extras. Sometimes we go to the extreme with the multible PIP tracks and extras.
Just my thoughts. I have a Nikon D5000 and I really enjoy just doing photos. I also use my HD video camera also. Windows 8 Pro 64bit
Cameras. Panasonic AG-HMC40, GoPro Hero 3 Black
Edition.

I give up. What do you mean by "wall"? Forgive me if I don't Google the word.

By the way, I agree with twincitybulldog. When I first discovered fonts, everything I wrote looked like a ransom note from P. T. Barnum. Eventually I realized that designing a theme is a better approach.

Of course this was an experiment, so you can be forgiven for experimenting. Jerry Schwartz
