It’s funny how just one friend, on one night can make a week perfect. But one moron can ruin an entire day.
But it’s not that bad. People just need to learn not to screw up other scripts, and how to put things back where they found them.
So Monday night turned out to be one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time. It wasn’t any one thing, but just the ability to spend time with a friend, watch movies, and talk.
I needed that.
For a few weeks now I’ve been testing the release candidate of Windows 7 x64. So far the only issues I’ve run into involve my Canon HV30 camera. The camera spontaneously disappeared from the Cineform software I use to capture the HDV footage from tape.
After doing some searching and testing I finally found the clue at www.hv20.com. The trick is to go to the device manager and change the FireWire driver to the legacy version.
I have no idea why it worked for two weeks before and suddenly stopped, but making that change restored the HDV capture mode.
Hooray.
Closing in on the last of the edits. Waiting to get with a composer who might help with a music score. I’m also likely to play around with more color grading and correcting, but for the most part I think I’m pleased with how it’s turned out.
