The irony of the whole thing is that I produce video for broadcast all day long in my dayjob, but I have always, always had problems with stupid things like programming a VCR, and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to use Windows Movie Maker (What do you mean, you can’t add tracks!?)

I have an old student copy of premiere, but you can’t really capture from a webcam (which, apparently drops frames as a matter of course, and Premiere doesn’t like that). I got the the point where I started digging around in Brad’s old video stuff, and he has this funny little Hi-8 with Svideo, only my Svideo jack is output only! Argh!

…And that’s why there was no comic yesterday!

Sometimes I’m not even listening to any audio when I have my headphones on- they’re not quite sound-isolating, but they do dampen the sound of all the computer fans, TV monitors, and bickering that are typical of the office environment. But it is SO NICE to have good headphones when I am editing audio, not that I’m particularly skilled at it, but I have a much better chance of producing something good now that I can hear all the little nuances. Yay headphones :)
