One reason Adobe is wonderful

A friend went on a cruise recently. He sent me footage on an SD card ( mp4, 6 gig ) in mail. He shot ( basically) a personal documentary of his time on cruise, using a pocket point and shoot camera. He included still images, titles and lots of narration ( camera mic built into camera), which he edited in PPro.

So, for two and 1/2 hours I can watch what is was like to be on this 'cruise'.  It is very impressive. And funny, cause he says things like, " I have no idea what that stuff is growing on the wall here in Central Park."  It is so natural and honest and fun to watch !  Way better than anything on TV right now. For that matter, it's way better than what's on TV most of the time.

I've watched about 40 min so far... I put into an editing program and just watch full screen ( it's 720p, 30 fps) as I feel like watching it...

Now, the great thing about adobe is that you can share stuff. Make it and share it. But you can also work with other people on a joint project ( also by sending stuff via mail to each other in a good editing codec ).

Once you get up to about 6 gig the idea of sending stuff via internet is retarded. Most people just don't have the upload and download speeds to do that, since just mailing the stuff is faster and so on.

But whatever, these are two things worth thinking about.

A) share stuff and have fun

B) share stuff and work on projects together.

How cool is that ?? !!!

Here's some Vikings on parade ( following some oriental seafarers ) in an onboard festival.

This is really ON a BOAT !  ( OR SHIP AS THEY ARE RIGHTLY CALLED ).  Amazing !
