We were hoping to get this to you WAAAY earlier than this - but we had a heck of a time getting this video encoded.
Actually when I say “we” - I mean Intern of the week - Paul Young.
First - here is the video - remeber it’s designed to download - so you will need to right click on the link and save it to your computer.
Thirty Day Challenge Launch Video
Everytime I watch that opening sequence I get shivers…
Now for those of you who are interested here is Pauls descriptioon of what he had to do to bring this to you all…
If you’re interested in the workflow I finally came up with, here it is.
As you know we can’t convert files greater than 45 minutes to MP4’s on Ustream. I noticed even when you can convert the shorter files, the audio ends up out of sync.
I downloaded the FLV from Ustream and played it in RichFLV while capturing with Screenflow. Nothing else I have will play the FLV file with audio as it uses a proprietary compression format called Nellymoser.
Since the resulting Screenflow video was also out of sync, I then ran this through Garage band and deleted the video track then saved the audio as MP3.
I then mixed the silent MP4 video file (from converting the original FLV in Visualhub) with the MP3 audio file using iMovie.
It would be a lot easier if Ustream allowed conversions for clips greater than 45 minutes AND got the sync right: )
Well Done Paul!!!
Enjoy

The download version will be up as soon as I can render it. It’s going to be an exciting year…

I have to say, I’m surprised it took this long, but dear old male yeast infection has bitten the big one - We are providing
some alternatives for use in the Gtrends tool - and will be testing over the next couple of days. Once it’s back up and running we will let you know
