Picture this movie in your head.

You have shot a property or local community event video, edited it, doctored the audio, added graphics, chyroned the copy on a color board. And while it is uploading, you bolt from that computer monitor and whip out another to shift tasks. All while the latest video creation project is being saved or compressed and uploaded. Just like a gun slinger on Main Street reaching for another shooting iron. Sure a huge chip, hard drive lets you work on the same machine, but sometimes a whole new horse and task on another machine and work space  is quicker for lots of reasons. Video takes time to upload even with the fastest connection and with HD, other introductions to the video production stream, there are delays. It is lots for a computer drive/graphics card to chew on, digest and process even when you swap machines yearly.

     So as you package / prepare video syndication of your property / community creation, I have found sliding into the saddle of another machine to personally catch up on the latest emails, or to download images to other sites works best. Some times you are creating a plot plan, a floorplan to weave into the next video you have scheduled right behind the one in the oven, being processed. As you set up a new listing or tweak an old one with new imagery or rotation shuffling, another computer stallion or painted pony / work station works well in saving time. Video is table top producing with digital and no more film to physically cut and glue or VHS to maneauver, guide, punch and poke.

     Anyone else find that having another office computer idling ready to head out of the barn is helpful, worthwhile, a time saver for a lot of reasons besides these above? As the video uplink stream to more and more platforms or portals, it may mean adding a rifle to the pair of six guns to keep shooting, firing, loading up the video folks are hungry for. Maybe a third computer in another box stall as you rotate from each work station. We're talking real video with 30 frames per second, not an image slide show passed off a genuine video.

The difference between real rich 5 sense video and a tinkling piano still image slideshow is like real fresh ground hot, steaming coffee with Juan Valdez in your kitchen open closet smiling, with the hat, the blanket, next to his donkey Grande vs warm water with a brown crayon dipped in it.

Anyone calling a slide show of the same regurgitated stills zooming in and out causing viewer vertigo with piano or flute music in the background should be ashamed to tout that dog and pony creation as real life, hard punching all the senses full fledge video. Let's head to the lake..this is the latest out of the can video we whipped up.
