I spent 6-plus days putting all my video and bunch of stills into a 20 minute-long video of our trip to the Broughtons this spring. Then it took about 5 hours to render and another 5 to upload to youtube.<\/p>\n
And then YouTube stripped all the audio because three out of four songs were owned by Warner or Sony and they won’t grant usage for people to use them. Aaaargh! Word of warning people: use EMI’s artists in your video creation; they just offer to sell the song to you rather than demanding you strip it out. Since I made this specifically for YouTube because I had found a dearth of Broughton-related videos earlier in the year this is a bit of a annoyance. I might, might mind you, go back and replace the audio with YouTube ‘approved’ music now, but really… sigh.<\/p>\n
So here is an smaller, illegal<\/em> version hosted on my own server. Get yer popcorn and experience 20 minutes of stultifyingly\u2014and slow\u2014boring video of water, trees, boats and some dolphins (towards the end). I think if you click on the direct link in most browsers you can watch it in its native 1280 x 720: http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/BroughtonsSM.mp4<\/a><\/p>\n
