A post for all of you old timers from the Adobe Premiere days

I was at a Target store the other day, and I saw my very first box of Yodels. Boy oh boy did it bring back some memories.

Do you remember the video contest we had here in the Video Lounge back in 2004? I believe that the rules were a maximum duration of one minute and a maximum file size of 10MB. Yes, you young folks, that is not a typo. It had to be 10MB or less.

Our videos were posted at about the size of a postage stamp. 320X240 was the generally accepted dimensions. I still have copies of all of them that I downloaded before the WrigleyVideo site went down.

Remember that someone accidentally spelled Yodels wrong as "Yoodels" and many of the contest entries took that as their topic. Especially Chris Rulon.

Well, here is a reminder, because you see, Yodels are still the perfect editing food. There is enough sugar in these things to keep you awake through the night. 🙂

Hey! Remember when it took all night to render a one minute video? 

I don't hang out here anymore because I switched over to shooting stills about 99.9% of the time, but I still use Premiere Pro once in a blue moon, when I do shoot video.

Mostly it is all about Photoshop and Lightroom for me nowadays since I became the photographer for the Oakland Zoo in Northern California and they use my photos for darn near everything.

If any of you oldtimers are still around, let me know. It would be nice to hear from you.

I tried telling you all about my latest adventure in training but I was accused of posting SPAM. So, in case that was the problem, I am trying this post again.

For the moderators, I don't sell snack food. If you can, take a look at the messages from around 2002 and you will understand the whole "Yoodles" joke.
