An Editing Experiment

[simlay]

I'm curious about what software you used for the editing on your video.

[GreatGig1]

I use Sony Vegas 8. It has a big learning curve, but for the most part, I really like it! :-)

[simlay]

bravo. I haven't heard that song in forever. wonderful job.

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Steve! It's one of those good ol' "cryin' in the beer" songs...:-) It was a fun experiment to do.  Now I know how to make "clones"...lol

[wintergreen143]

Love this video! Makes me think of good times. ;) xoxo

[GreatGig1]

ha! Ahhhhh yes...the good times! :-) Thanks for digging through the archives, Deb...:-) xoxoxox

[rexlv2000]

I had to watch this one again. I was showing Jodie your singing talents. To my surprise she started singing along with you. The two of you sounded quite good. I was surprised she knew the words to the song. Wow! :)

[jantheempress]

Is that you singing?

[GreatGig1]

Yep...me and me...:-)

[jantheempress]

Wow, both you and you sing really good!

[LizBizToo]

Ahhh, good ole sobbing love song! Great job, Caylyn, and the sunset was strikingly delish...good color for you, methinks :)

[GreatGig1]

I LOVE those ole sobbing love songs, Liz! Just something about them that will always live on in my soul...:-) The song that launched the twins! There could be more of them one day...so brace yourself...LOL Thanks for watching!

[LizBizToo]

NO bracing necessary! I thought you did a great job! Being a fellow Cancer (ahem), I LOVE all those old love songs, too haha...the 40's? oh, yes!

[GreatGig1]

Hmmm...I feel a collab coming on...:-)

[LizBizToo]

LOL probably have to find an old castle, sit on top o the horses, wearing 16th century garb :D

[GreatGig1]

I'm soooo in!! Booking us tickets to the UK! They have castles EVERYWHERE! LOL

[LizBizToo]

LOL hold it; hold it!!!

I know of 2 in Ohio! (on the cheap that I am)

OHHHH I must send you if I can find it...a construction company that builds the REAL thing. NOT the ticky tacky ones they dupe in CA (scuuzee) You will loooovve them!!! Drawbridge, all nine yards.

[GreatGig1]

Well...if you insist...but the UK is the place to be for castles! LOL

That sound GREAT! Yes...send! I NEED a castle! Think of all the video making sound stages in a big castle!  Prop rooms, studios...only limit, the imagination! I must move to Ohio and build one ASAP...lol (I'm SUCH a dreamer...:-))

[LizBizToo]

Yes, methinks a castle would suit the Ohio landscape mucho more than the desert in CA! LOL

I want to inform you that I did some looking last night, and as that 'favorite' site is probably tucked away in a laptop that I can't seem to get open at the moment (LOL password protected, right!!)...it might take me a few; but I shall NOT FORGET!!!! Be making HUGE dreams about it!

[GreatGig1]

Uh oh...this could be tucked away for awhile...pesky passwords...or is that pesky lack of password memory?? LOL

[LizBizToo]

are you kidding? usually it's the memory thang; but in this case I wrote it down, and it doesn't work.....LOL go figure; I dont know! Halp, anybody!

[GreatGig1]

Is the password on the computer, or the login?  If it's the log in for XP, I know how you can get in...:-)

[LizBizToo]

I'm kinda 'duh' but it's the first screen that pops up; it wants a password... and it DOES say 'windows xp' beside the box for the password! yAHoooo!

[MelodyElize]

Sing it Girl!

[GreatGig1]

I was trying, Melody! LOL Thanks for dropping by and watching these two...:-)

[grandmafottz]

EXELLENT VIDEO!!!!!! LOVE, grandmafottz

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, grandmafottz! One of my all time favorite songs!  I'm glad you enjoyed watching this little experiment! :-)

[Lizador]

nice effect!! What editing program do you use?

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Liz! I use SonyVegasPro8. However, I find that Pro8 seems to be very "buggy". The Vegas Platinum version worked much better, but limited in tracks. :-)

[Lizador]

Awesome. I have looked at the Vegas series, and thought they sounded pretty good. :-)

I am still using Windows Movie Maker (even for my animations... yesh!

[rexlv2000]

Thank you for your channel comment. It is refreshing to see your video again. 54 ratings ain't bad! :)

[GreatGig1]

Thanks for watching again, Rex! I'm glad you liked it!  :-)

[atree3]

I call it successful

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Tree! I will have to play around with it a little more and see if I can finally get the "twins" to actually sing together...LOL

[MaxwellsDemon2000]

O.K. not my music-style, but I watched it, see how I love you :-) Anyway 5*

Cheers, Max.

[GreatGig1]

Yes, Max, that is love to watch when you don't like the music style, and I thank you for the love! *hugs*

[phekwig]

The experiment is a success! It made me smile...

[GreatGig1]

I'm happy I was able to make you smile! :-)

[rexlv2000]

OMG! You look good standing beside the ocean. You are way too good in this video. Thank you for this one. Keep that microphone! Wow!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Rex! You are tooooo kind...:-) I'm glad you enjoyed watching!

[rexlv2000]

Thank you Caylyn. Yes I enjoyed this one. I did, I did, I did.  This must have been one of your favorite songs. As you know, I saved this one to favorites. :)

[GreatGig1]

I used to sing this song a lot, Rex. It's one of the thousands of favs I have...lol And no, I didn't know you fav'd it! Thank you...:-)

[ravensky23]

Awesome, Caylyn, I love that song and you do it so very well! Great editing too. 5*****'s!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Debbie! It's a great old song!...:-)

[FRANKLY2112]

You are a great sing! i hope you play your recorded release someday. One small criticism, the music was a little loud and it kind of smoother your vocals but as always, another great video.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Richard! The loud music was no accident, it was a need...ha!

[pinklantana]

*Claps

Excellent vid! :)

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Joey! It was a fun experiment to do...I'm glad you liked it...:-)

[diezynueve69]

Loved it...you beamed with emotion. Thumbs up on the experiment's convincing output.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, diezynueve!! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it...:-)

[ajdpadbury]

Beautifully-sang, Caylyn! Er, both of you!:))

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Anthony! I'm always looking for something new to experiment with it. :-)

[UTD111]

That was great - well done clever you!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, UTD! It was a fun experiment! I'm glad you liked it...:-)

[marmosetguru]

LOL, you are so great!!!!

That was perfect and I know you only get better.

Good to see you after a while, I hope to see you more :-)

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Gabi! It's always good to see you! It was a fun learning experiment! Now to see if I remember how I did it when I need it...lol

[flydarling]

Great experiment Caylyn and wonderful song. Gee it must be confusing at your house having an identical twin with the same name, no wonder you kept her under wraps until now. Cheers, Lesley

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Lesley! I'm glad you enjoyed this little experiment! My twin is a bit difficult to work with, but I was happy she decided to join in on this one...lol

[Ravensinger]

I'm loving this "high quality" option on here now. Great song and fantastic rendition!!! HUGS!!! You did such a great job editing this. Looks like fun.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Mic!! Coming from you means a LOT! I'm glad you liked seeing this little experiment. It was a blast making it! *hugs*

[philipsmovies]

An amazing video.Great singing by both of you! Thank you.

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Philip! I'm glad you enjoyed my experiment in cloning...:-) It was fun to do and I hope I remember what I did for when I need it! LOL

[MojaveRanger]

Another GreatGig from GreatGig1!!!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Anthony!! I appreciate your watching and you comments...:-)

[katylied66]

Fantastic singing and editing!!

Dianne

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Dianne! These little experiments can be so much fun! I'm always trying to learn something new, and since I have had cloning on my mind from the RW series, I thought I'd try it...:-)

[TamHickey67]

Great job on both the editing and the singing. What a great voice!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, Tam! I really appreciate the kind words! :-)

[Bikermom69]

Holy moly Caylyn! Where have you been hiding that voice. You need to sing more on here. I love that song! Bravo bravo!!!!

[GreatGig1]

Thanks for the VERY kind words, Sue! It's a great old song! I used to sing it a lot, but haven't for a long while. I thought I would try it since I needed some video to play with...:-)

[RileyAndCo]

That's wonderful Caylyn!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Tammy, Riley, and Co! :-)

[TomsterMusic]

WHOA!! That was absolutely outstanding!! I was *already* thinking it was gonna be great, then ANOTHER Caylyn shows up! I wish I could hire myself to sing backup like that.. I need a better editing thingy! LoL! AWESOME!

5 StaRz!

♫ ToMMyY!! ♫

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, ♫ToMMyY♫ !! I'm glad you liked my little experiment. You might want to think twice about the backup singers like this. I know she was a real diva to work with...lol

[DawndeeDALLAS]

Wow..You have a great voice..you should sing more. Now what are we going to do with two of you?...hehe

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Dawndee!  Good question...what are we going to do with the two of me?? LOL

[SunnyDazStormyNitz]

Loved it!! Loved it!! Loved it!! You have a beautiful voice and did a wonderful job.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much! :-)  It's a great old song and it was fun to do this little experiment!

[MysticVideo]

It looks like your experiment worked perfectly! That was fabulous!!

[GreatGig1]

It didn't work out perfectly, Ron, but I sure learned a lot about doing this sort of thing! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing this experiment. Thank you for watching and your kind words. :-)

[GreatGig1]

LOL Amanda! Thank you for watching! It was a bit of a pain syncing these two, but I learned a lot about doing it!  :-)

[twish1999]

Wow, that's fabulous!

:-)

x hugs x

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, Twish!  I'm glad you enjoyed this little experiment! *hugs*

[bugsinrug]

Oh, my gosh, that was beautiful !! That is one of my all-time favourite songs! Thoroughly enjoyed this. hugs, Chris

[GreatGig1]

It's a GREAT old song! So full of emotion!  I love it too, Chris! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm thinking I should try this again with some of my other old favs...on second thought, maybe not. lol *hugs*

[bugsinrug]

Oh, please do!! Encore' Encore' !!!

[PooHunny69]

Standing Ovation! YAY Caylyn! Simply wonderful!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, Helen!! I'm glad you enjoyed my little experiment! *hugs*

[RedneckCasanova]

Fun video! Great song and well done! I DEFINITELY need to get better editing software!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Matt! I enjoyed trying this! I learned a LOT about this sort of thing. The number one thing is get the "twins" to sing it together better! ha! I am using SonyVegas to edit, in case you wondered...:-)

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks!

I've done a lot of multi-track recording in audio using a variety of hardware and software, but I'm thinking of moving up to FinalCut 4 to be able to do similar things in video like non-destructive cuts from one clip to another, superimposing, green screening, etc. We'll see what happens! Great video, again! Matt

[GreatGig1]

Ahhh, you must have a Mac, Matt! :-) Yes, SonyVegas does all of the stuff you mentioned. It's a lot of fun playing with the editing software. It's pretty much, think it, you can do it I'm finding...:-)

[Sanwings]

I love that song!!! And I so appreciate you doing this...what a great video!!! Always a pleasure to see you....hugs

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Sandi!  It's a great old song! Carries so much emotiion with it! I love it! Always good to see you too!! *hugs*

[blueclouds4me]

Love this song and your voice is amazing. The editing was awesome, ya gotta love the ocean;) Would certainly enjoy more of you, and your friend too;)~WOOT~

Hug Caylyn, Marylou

xxoo

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, Marylou! I love this song too! I had to get something on video to try this experiment, so this was what happened. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it! *hugs*

[robertpina99]

It's the twins! I always thought this song should be sung slow and sultry like this. Great effect when you turned to look at the person next to you. .

[GreatGig1]

I love this song, Robert! After seeing this vid, I need to try it again and maybe get it right where the "twins" are singing it the same way! LOL It was a fun little experiment that I think I will try again in the near future! :-)

[DailyToke]

Absolutely Fantastic. The sexual implications are endless. LOL

Good to see you too. =)

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Digi!! GREAT to see YOU again! I haven't heard from you in awhile! I hope all is well! *hugs*

[KimOsh72]

Awesome! Gave me chills and goosies...LOL

Great job on the video...nicely done Caylyn!

[GreatGig1]

Chills AND goosies, Kim?? I love when that happens...:-) I'm glad you enjoyed watching this little experiment! I might have to do another on soon just to see if you get chills and goosies again...ha! *hugs*

[Pippilly]

Far out! Loved it! Your left side is more serious than your right side lol

[GreatGig1]

LOL Pip! Yeah, the left side can get a bit bothersome with all that seriousness, so it's a good thing I have the right side to balance her out...you know how those "divas" can get! hahaha

[OhCurt]

Hey, you both have lovely voices!

:-)

[Perroquet51]

LOL. Yes, they are both good but the one on the left is my favorite. I won't say on whose left.

[GreatGig1]

hahaha Perr!! The one on the left seems to be a favorite...hahaha

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Curt! It was a spare of the moment experiment where I needed some video of something...so this was it...lol

[TrackEditor99]

Wonderful green screen and cloning work!!! and beautifully sang as well!!! 5*

[GreatGig1]

Track!!! It's soooo good to see you again!! Thank you so much for your kind words! I am still waiting for you to do a video with YOUR beautiful voice!!! You really need to share that here!  :-) *hugs*

[GIZCHOPS]

Oh this was well cool!, you've got a lovely voice Caylyn, I wish I was as good at editing as you!, Keep em comin'

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Gary! The editing stuff is just something that takes practice. Play around with it and you will be better than me editing in no time...:-) I'm glad you enjoyed watching this little experiment! I just might have to do it again soon before I forget what I did...lol

[Hippiefied1]

that was brilliant and beautiful Caylyn!!!

do some more of these!! I love your singing!!

xoxoxo

Lisa~

[GreatGig1]

Thank you for such kind words, Lisa! I just might do a few more of these now that I have figured out a few things on how to do it! I'm glad you enjoyed it! *hugs*

[thizizliz]

Wow! That was a great song - gotta love those old standards, well sung and a beautiful back ground. Then the fun of two, two, two Caylyns in one was even better! Makes me want to play hooky and go to the beach.... With oldies on the cd player.

[GreatGig1]

What a GREAT idea, liz! Ok...I'm off to the beach with a cd player full of oldies!! ha! Thanks much for watching and leaving such a nice comment and a wonderful idea...:-)

[nancyleeould]

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!

I didn't know you were a singer Caylyn!!

And an excellent one at that!! WOW!

I can't get over it!!

Bravo! I love it!!

Big hugs~Nancy

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, Nancy! I'm not really a singer...just playing one on YouTube for this experiment...haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it! *hugs*

[popebenadict16]

nice one.xx

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Pope!! It's always good to see you around! I hope the ankle is getting better!! xx

[Suzbekistan]

Great duet! It must be awesome to work with such good people! :D

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Suzy! She is always such a diva so she is a bit of a pain to work with...hahaha It was a fun experiment. I'll have to try it again sometime if I can get her to actually work with me again that is...ha!

[daligoddess2006]

Editing software is so much fun, isn't it? I love this! Great Job, GreatGig. (Hey, that sounded a little bit redundant) hehe

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Kim (daligoddess)! I just LOVE editing! So many things you can do! All you need is to think it up, and usually you can do it. I'm glad you enjoyed my little experiment! *hugs*

[ablheza]

Hey!! What are you doing at my backyard!! :)... btw I vote for the left lady!! :)

[GreatGig1]

LOL Guille!! Just stopped in to film your backyard for this. I hope you don't mind...:-) The lady on the left seems to be getting a lot of the votes...she was a bit more "serious"...lol *hugs*

[LeSaMilano]

Double your pleasure double your fun - with two two TWO Caylyns in one!

I love this song and loved your rendition.

show off! hahaha

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Les! I love that song...I used to sing it a LOT, so when I was trying to think of what I could do to get some film to try this, I thought I would sing it and see what happens. I learned a LOT about doing this sort of thing, so I just might try it again soon! :-) Just think what I could do if I had a uke and could play it!! LOL xx

[normspace]

Very nicely done!!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Norm! It was a real fun experiment. I learned a lot by doing it so hopefully I remember what I did for the next one...hahaha

[AnneMarie96]

Great.....do more, more, more.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much AnneMarie! I'm glad you enjoyed watching. :-)

[yeuxlumineuxNtx]

:))))))))))) &#9829 xoxox

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Shelly! Good to see you...:-)  *hugs*

[GoretexRobo]

wow caylyn you have been holding out on us.excellent beau ti ful!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Bryan! It was just a little experiment. I had to film something to try it, so this is what I came up with. After I saw it, I couldn't help but wish I would have sung it the same way twice...lol Oh well...maybe the next time I do something like this I will remember what I learned from this one...:-) *hugs*

[KurtGnu]

Great! Beautifully sung.. I am a fan of yours!! And very nice editing too.. :)

[GreatGig1]

Thanks, Rob! You are not a fan, you are a FRIEND!! :-) Thanks for watching and I'm so happy you liked this little experiment! *hugs*

[Dlorezzz]

Caylyn you sing beautifully.. I loved this video 5 stars and fav

[GreatGig1]

Thank you so much, Dlorezzz!! I happy that you liked my little experiment enough to favorite it! :-)  *hugs*

[randomwritings]

It's another invasion of the twins!!! Has that evil Doktor been at it again? Lovely song and you beat me to it with the split screen - waaah!

[GreatGig1]

LOL Yeah, I think the evil Doktor was around, RW!! I was just trying something for an upcoming project. I never seem to have video to try things, so I had to film something, so this is what I did to try it. It's a fun project, and you are going to LOVE it when you start playing with the "twin" effects...:-) xx

[randomwritings]

another 2 for the price of one! xx

[TheTittySisters]

WONDERFULL!!!! keep um coming honey

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Sisters, for watching and the nice comment!!  :-)

[Zoltrix67]

Way to go Caylyn. Excellent.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Phil! It was a learning experience! Hopefully I will remember what I learned when I need it! Ha! *hugs*

[wyllieohagan]

Good to see your experimentation process.

You sing well.

Wishing you all the best:)

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Wyllie O Hagan! It was a fun experiment to try and learn from. I enjoy trying new editing things. I just hate that I have to come up with the video of something to try them...lol

[Blinkazoid]

Very good job Caylyn!!! It's fun when you're able to pull off some editing you've never done before. Sometimes I can, and sometimes things wind up in the recycling bin, LOL.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Blink!  I see a few problems with this experiment, so hopefully I learn something from it (actually REMEMBER what I learned) for the next time or the next one will end up where most of mine do, the recycling bin! lol

[PussinnBuutz]

Great voice! So are you cloning yourself now? I guess two is better than one. Awesome job! :)

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, David! Just a cloning experiment...however, I think I need a clone! Send the clone to work and I'll stay home and experiment some more...LOL

[marquisdejolie]

nice

:)

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, marquis! :-)

[lazmalt]

"Formidabile"!

Great editing and wonderful song.

About the singer? She is the BEST :)

[GreatGig1]

Ahhhhhhh Laz! Thanks much! I'm not the best singer, just having a lot of fun trying these little experiments. I'm glad you enjoyed the out come of this one! *hugs*

[flatted5th]

That was wonderful....you have a killer voice and awesome presence...will you do more?

[GreatGig1]

Thank you much, Richard!  You are way to kind! I'll see if I can think of something else to do. This was a real fun experiment so I just might have to try some more experimenting...:-)

[flatted5th]

Yes, I am kind, but you really are good! hope to hear more singing from you sooner than later- yes, absolutely do more experimenting!

[MeanBlackDude]

OMG!!! Double the Gigz...Double the Beer!!!

I'm in love (x's 2)

Great song Gigz!!!

[GreatGig1]

LOL MBD! Double the beer is much better than double the Gigz...:-) Always good to see you! I'm glad you liked the song. It's one of my old favs. It has a lot of heart! *hugs*

[steelydrwu]

I laughed when I read You sing in this one so listen at your own risk. You're the Best Singer I listen to and here we have two. Sweet. Thank you for another favorite.

[GreatGig1]

Thank you for risking it, steely! ha! I'm not the best singer, but I have a great time trying!  It was an experiment that I didn't know was going to happen until it happened...lol You are very brave to risk favoriting it to watch again, and I thank you once more...:-)

[steelydrwu]

You're so funny.

[jrsnyderjr]

omg your twins! there's two of you! just kidding...

great job with everything, singing, video and editing.

[GreatGig1]

hahaha...yep, twins, JR! Double trouble...lol Thanks you for the sweet comment! You are just saying...but I love it all the same! *hugs*

[jrsnyderjr]

all I'm sayin' is are you left-brained or right-brained?

I can truthfully saying after watching it several times now that it is totally great job. K?

[GreatGig1]

I think I'm middle brained, JR...hahaha

Ok.  :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Tobie2]
