Video help

[Old Hogger]

I have a video of my layout that a buddy did for me. It is about 45 minutes long, way too long to post anywhere. Is it possible to bust it up into small pieces, say 5 minutes or so?

Thanks.

Yes, any good video editing software worth it's salt will do this. Adobe, Apple, Pinnacle, Sony, all make good software to do this.

Something as simple as Movie Maker will work as well, this is what I use. Depending on where you post will depend on how long you want each part, I know youtube will allow up to ten minutes for each upload, this way you can reduce the number of parts if necessary.

Yeah windows movie maker would be the quickest solution it has a split button so when it gets to around 9:58 on the video you can just hit the split button and it will cut the video for ya. you tube lets ya post 10 min or 2GB of video at a time what ever comes first.

The MS MovieMaker worked good. Getting the video ripped from VOB to MPEG was the tough part.

See ya.

Very Nice Larry, that will look really awEsome when you finish the scenrey, I am guessing some rough mountainous terrain? Like the lash ups too, 5 stars.

That's awesome Larry! I'm thinking about doing a helix for a second level myself. I need to make that decision soon though, before I do much more scenery.

Nice job......I like watching long trains.......Not bad on the video editing either....Would like to see more

[Old Hogger]

Thanks. More videos coming (now that I might know how to do it).

Where in Grand Blanc are you located? I'm just down the road, Dixie and Grange Hall area. And there are still a few spots left for the Saturday ops session on August 8.

See ya.

I like how everything is set in the same era and look realistic. It also looks like everything runs smoothly. Nice work Old Hogger!

[Old Hogger]

Thanks Don. Still a maybe you might make the ops on Saturday the 8th?

I put up a few more. All of these were done over a year ago, a lot more scenery has been done. If I can get someone to do some current videos, I'll replace these.
