Open Video Conference

Although I missed most of the conference, what I did experience at OVC on Saturday and Sunday was great: met many interesting people, ingested tasty ideas and saw some great demos. More on this soon.

Here’s a rough demo video of Open Emu I whipped up for the conference despite intense sleep deprivation.

• @tobyspark oooooooooooooo. what make/model? very curious. in reply to tobyspark #
• @robhuebel got one of those on our fridge. gf’s from DC where people freak out at snow/ice — inside joke about her mom’s dire warnings. in reply to robhuebel #

• works? RT @Richard_Kadrey: change yr Twitter settings to show GMT +03:30 Tehran as timezone, home city Tehran to confuse the Iranian censors #
• @tobyspark ooooooooooooooo, that looks promising. more pics! in reply to tobyspark #
• . @_vade that sucks. just remember: you’ll always be the resident of my eye beams <3 #
• @DavidLublin nice! let’s see some video of that. in reply to DavidLublin #
• @DavidLublin cool! I like the slow/subtle transitions. thanks for sharing. in reply to DavidLublin #
• @DavidLublin it also looks great with only one gradient and a lower opacity on the Feedback layer. danwinckler.com/files/Shimmer.png #
• . @wugmump if you have time, go to Van Alstyne for the best fucking BBQ & blackberry cobbler: http://bit.ly/jbBsd #

• …and so this long, productive day of web hackery draws to a close… with homemade nutella ice cream OM NOM NOM #
• The L train’s stopped so I came back home to work instead of going to Street Singers. :-/ #
• On the plus side, found an old video cam (VHS!) on the curb next door. Any hack ideas for a Sharp VL-L270? time to see if it works… #
• Update: blech. this thing is dirty. Doesn’t turn on. Trying to charge the battery now just in case it’s the AC adapter that’s busted. #
• @nocarrier looks great! i’ve got to port an Atari emulator to Open Emu. in reply to nocarrier #
• My cat-powered editing suite is “rig of the day” on finalcutters.com today. Yes I’m a big nerd. #
• @kfirpravda I always export full-res from FCP then use Compressor. Too many weird bugs exporting H.264 straight from FCP. in reply to kfirpravda #
• @kfirpravda untried tip from video engineer friend: export Uncompressed at target (web) res from FCP, then convert to H.264. #
• @kfirpravda sure thing! interlacing is a PITA. doublecheck your sequence settings. in reply to kfirpravda #
• @kfirpravda if you’ve got interlaced and prog media in the same seq, deint the int stuff in FCP. if that doesn’t fix, copy all to new seq. in reply to kfirpravda #
• @kfirpravda depends on your sequence settings. in reply to kfirpravda #
• @kfirpravda your last question, in essence, is “do transitions determine the frame rate and field error?” no, seq. settings do. in reply to kfirpravda #
• @kfirpravda one caveat: if your media don’t match your seq settings, strange things can happen. FCP is a complicated animal. in reply to kfirpravda #
• so yesterday’s curb find (Sharp VL-L270 video cam) doesn’t work. time to strip it for parts. mwa ha ha #
• and speaking of stripping/dissecting gadgets, i <3 the new http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown #

Last month Glomag and I kicked off a new collaboration with a show at XRAY NYC, a new monthly burlesque/magic/awesomeness show put on by those who organized the late Freaks ‘n’ Geeks party. Some of the video Emily (my steadfast documentarian) shot will soon make its way online but, in the meantime, I hope you like these shots Asif Siddiky of 2 Player Productions took as much as I do. Thanks, Asif!
