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....

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.
