Thanks for your support! You know, they really aren't doing themselves a favour here. 3/4 of the video uses Harvest Moon tracks... I added a song by Francoise Hardy AND credited the artist. If Sony allowed the track, they would introduce NEW fans to this wonderful French artist... but instead, they mute the video.
Actually, YouTube has a new option called 'Media Swap' where you can choose from a list of audio tracks, presumably none of which are owned by Sony... I chose the Pastoral Symphony as a replacement.
I think the price I had to pay for the 'Media Swap' is that YouTube can load random adverts on the page with my video. Hate that, but I don't have the time to mess with the video. The software (Windows Movie Maker) is SO slow. It takes me hours to make a simple little video.
Well, you know I primarily am a Guide Writer not a filmmaker. I guess you have experienced some of the same frustration as I with WMM. It is absolutely HORRIBLE but it is all I have. I sometimes tell myself I'll never make another video, but then something inspires me again. Still, I didn't expect to spend my entire Valentine's Day struggling with the stupid programme. It was kind of nice to relive all those wonderful HM moments though.
I would edit my old videos more if WMM were easier.
nice! :D

@Freyashawk I guess reupload it without the sound.

@Freyashawk I've not made many movies in a year due to my WMM locking up.
