HOW TO CUT VIDEOS:

1. Download Divx Author and install it. Open the program afterwards.
Note: Register the software by opening the keygen and scroll to select "Divx Author" and click "Generate." Copy the serial and go to "Options" on Divx Author and click "Registration." Paste the serial and click "OK."

2. Under the "Start" tab, choose "Start a new project."



3. Under the "Source" tab, click "Add Content" on the right menu. Click "Find a video file to import from your computer." Then Choose the video file you want to cut, and click "Open."





4. Once the video has finished importing, click "Settings" under Movie1 on the left panel.



Change the video size to 640 - 360 under the "Video" tab and click "OK":



Note: 640-360 is the widescreen size that currently YouTube plays; hence, high quality option is available when you uploaded.

5. Under the video icon, click "Edit."



6. Under the "Cut" tab, choose where you want to start, and where you want to end. Click the scissor icon to cut, and click "OK."

Beginning:



End:



Tips: To cut the next part, select the last (END) scene you choose in the previous cut:

For example: In the first part, I cut to the end where it displays the flower:



Now to cut the second part, choose the last scene from the previous cut as THE BEGINNING of the second cut. This way the parts connect when you want to join them altogether later.
NOTE: Select THE END where there are no interruption, which means no talking in mid-word, etc.
You can click under the "Preview" tab to ensure that.

IMPORTANT: If you're unable to click the "Preview" or the "Output" tab, then click "Menu" tab first. Click "Cancel" when the screen appears. When it asks you: "If you cancel the Menu Wizard at this stage you will obtain a Divx Video without menus. Are you sure?"
Click "YES." Now you're able to click the "Preview" or the "Output" tab.

6. To save the video file (which will be divx), click the "Output" tab.
Under "target size" click "None" to scroll to "Custom target size (Use target size setting)."
Type in either 95 or 97 (since YouTube max size is 100MB).

To type in the name of the output file, go to output file name. Erase NoSubject_1-5-2009 9 (or something like that) into the name you want, such as: 3.1. (Don't erase .divx at the end).

FINALIZE: Click "Start Output" and be patience while the video is finalizing. Once it's done, you will see the video file where you choose the output source to be at.







HOW TO ENCODE:
NOTE: Please read the topic "Tutorial: Coordinator" first if you do not understand the basic.

Please use the following font settings for Suparb Burut Satan when you save it in Media Subtiler:




1. Download DivX5 Codec and install it. (Uncheck the DivX player when you install)

2. Open VirtualDUB.

3. Go to "File" and click "Open video file." Select the video you want to encode. If your file does not appear, click and scroll to "All types (*.*)."

4. Go to "Filters" and "Add" only the "subtitler" and "disinterlace." Under disinterlace, select the first one listed (High/best quality). Click "OK" once you're done adding these.
NOTE: Go to the topic "Tutorial: Coordinator" if you're confuse.

5. Go to "Video" and click "Compression." (Make sure the video is in "full compressing mode")
Choose "DivX 5.2.1 Codec" and click "Configure."
NOTE: You do not have to register this codec. It's free, but it will appear the little box asking if you want to register. Just click "No."



6. Choose "1-pass" and click "Bitrate Calculator." When the calculator appears, change the settings according to the video:
- See how long is the video, such as 10:45 (10 minutes and 45 seconds). Type in that.
- Type in the file size the video is, such as 95.2. (You can find out by selecting the video and right click "Properties."

Great!!! I'm so happy I finally get this done with. Now I got to get the rest of Episode 3 done in 2 days, so I can relieve while I'm on my flight. Good luck, Maya (Chok dee - I'm learning a lot of Thai since subbing. I think I can speak Thai maybe in 5 more years. :lol:)


PS: Maya, for Suparb Burut Satan, I used different size font and etc. Please be aware of it so we can keep it consistent.

Timing tip: Instead of going back 200 milisec as the other tutorial stated, go back 300 or 400 miliseconds.

For example:

If the voice start it first pitch at 00:02:49:345, then type in 00:02:49:000 or 00:02:48:900. For the hide time, go forward 200 milisec, such as 00:03:03:554 to 00:03:03:800 (round the 5's, so 554 = 600, and to go forward 200 miliseconds, then it's 800).

OK very good (dee mak) and thank you (khop khun) :lol: lolz.
Practice makes perfect, so I wouldn't be surprise if you can speak within a year. ^_^

I'll have a look at the program this weekend ok. Kind of busy with works this week.
I will start with ep. 4, so if you have time, don't forget to send me back the final translations before you leave ok.
It's YFTD first 3 parts done yet? I might do some of that too. ^_^

WOW that is a big round up. I will have to look at that carefully when I do timing then. Normally I just added 300. :D

Yes, it's a big round up since usually the eye sees faster than the ears. So this way, the viewers be able to read a little easier.

No problem. Take this weekend and practice. I haven't get a chance to check Episode 4 nor YFTD yet. I've been busy with timing Episode 3 first. If I finish it and still has the time, I'll do grammar check for them as soon as I can. I'm going on Thursday morning. So hopefully, I get things done so you got something to work on while I'm not available until the weekend.


IMPORTANT: Maya, I change the font size of the subtitle from 20 to 22, okay? I'll still be using 20 for Episode 3 but from Episode 4 and onwards, we'll use 22 since it's bigger.

OK I'll look into that size too.

So your trip is tomorrow, :clap: yeahhhhhhhh I'm so wanted to go with you :yahoo:
Have a wonderful and safe trip ok. Looking forward to your video on YT soon. ^_^

Yes, it's tomorrow. Now I feel like I shouldn't go. I miss my mom so much! This is the first time I go somewhere. I never went anywhere from home for one day. It's not going to be fun in VN. My sisters in VN are arguing constantly about where we sleep. They make me sleep at a place where there's no toilet. You got to go in the wild. LOL No fun. :lol: It's going to be a reality lakorn for me. I'll be checking my messages as often as I can.

Oh your mom is not going with you guys? I thought your whole family is going. That is sad for being away from her for so long. So good luck and try to enjoy yourself ok.

:lol: hahahahaha lol, I'm sure VN is not that bad, my family and relatives from home visit VN all the time, and as matter of fact, they were just there 2 weeks ago and they enjoy it each time there and have no problem with toilet. :loool: hahahaha

Well make sure you do a good acting when you post up the video ok. ^_^ Looking forward to see it.
