Here's the tale of how I took 7 hours of PAL DV tape and digital video, two CD's worth of music, 322 photos that totaled 105 gigs of digital assets and turned it into a DVD of my brother in law's wedding. The result was 66 min, 364 cuts and included music, overlays (who's that cousin?) and some nice transitions, as well as a DVD menu.
这是关于我如何花费7个小时的PAL DV磁带和数字视频，两张CD的音乐价值，322张照片(共计105个数字资产)并将其转换为我弟弟婚礼上的DVD的故事。 结果是66分钟，364剪切，包括音乐，叠加(是谁的堂兄？)和一些不错的过渡效果，以及DVD菜单。
I know next to nothing about digital video and I'm sure all of you who will comment on this will say stuff like "Dude, why didn't you use Adobe Premiere/Avid/iMovie/an IPad" or whatever. You'll also say that you have created much more interesting/complex/impressive projects. Poop on you, I say. I'm feeling pretty darned proud of myself here because I just made a DVD that my family will love. ;)
我对数字视频几乎一无所知，并且我敢肯定对此发表评论的所有人都会说“ Dude，您为什么不使用Adobe Premiere / Avid / iMovie / iPad”之类的字眼。 您还会说您创建了更多有趣/复杂/令人印象深刻的项目。 我说对你大便。 我在这里感到非常为自己感到骄傲，因为我刚刚制作了我的家人会喜欢的DVD。 ;)
OK, here's what my amateur self did.
好，这就是我业余爱好者的所作所为。
My wife went to South Africa for a month last year to her brother's wedding. I stayed home with the kids. She returned with five hours of digital video on a bunch of PAL Digital Video Cassettes. PAL is essentially the non-US format. We use NTSC here. PAL is 576 lines interlaced. She also brought over 300 photos across a half dozen digital cameras as well as an other two hours of 720p video shot with our little Canon S95.
去年，我妻子去南非参加她兄弟的婚礼，为期一个月。 我和孩子们呆在一起。 她在一堆PAL数字录像带上带了五个小时的数字视频。 PAL本质上是非美国格式。 我们在这里使用NTSC。 PAL是576行隔行扫描。 她还用六个小的数码相机带来了300多张照片，并用我们的小型佳能S95拍摄了另外两个小时的720p视频。
从磁带导入/翻录视频 (Importing/Ripping Video from Tapes)
First, I needed to get the PAL video off the mini-DV tapes. If you want to rip PAL DV tapes you really need a PAL DV player, then you can just hook up a Firewire (IEEE 1394) cable and import the video directly.
首先，我需要从微型DV磁带上获得PAL视频。 如果您想翻录PAL DV磁带，则确实需要PAL DV播放器，则只需连接Firewire(IEEE 1394)电缆并直接导入视频即可。
I decide to use Windows Movie Maker because it was free. I have a Mac around here somewhere but it's a few years old and I really wanted to edit this as fast as possible so I used my more powerful machine which is my Windows Desktop.
我决定使用Windows Movie Maker，因为它是免费的。 我在这里附近有一台Mac，但是它已经存在了几年，我真的想尽快编辑它，所以我使用了功能更强大的Windows台式机。
Back in the Windows XP days I remember this experience sucking badly. There were Firewire drivers to find, and most machines were too slow and too small to import video without dropping frames. In this case I just plugged in the cable to the camera, then to the PC and got a dialog.
在Windows XP时代，我记得这种经历非常糟糕。 可以找到Firewire驱动程序，并且大多数计算机速度太慢且太小，无法导入视频而不会丢帧。 在这种情况下，我只需将电缆插入相机，然后再插入PC，然后出现一个对话框。
I selected import and it even chopped up the scenes into separate files. About 60 gigs and 5 hours later I had all my PAL mini DVD tapes in an uncompressed AVI format.
我选择了导入，它甚至将场景分割成单独的文件。 大约60个演出和5个小时后，我将所有PAL mini DVD磁带都以未压缩的AVI格式存储。
整理资产 (Getting Assets Organized)
Cool. I also had some CDs and music we bought I knew I wanted to use, as well as all the other AVIs from digital cameras, some DVDs of other video and all those photos. I put them each into folders like this:
凉。 我还买了一些我想使用的CD和音乐，以及数码相机上的所有其他AVI，其他视频的DVD和所有这些照片。 我将它们分别放入这样的文件夹中：
This is as far as I went for "asset management," although we did go through the video and give them descriptive filenames like this (yes, that's an actual filename):
就我们进行“资产管理”而言，尽管我们确实浏览了视频并为它们提供了描述性的文件名，如下所示(是的，这是实际的文件名)：
"17A - Ceremony Begins; MC, Pastor Arthur prayer & welcome; Choir sings; Mbusi, Fatty & other girl arrive; Mbux & Groomsmen Bridesmaids Phili waiting in car Vusi4 2011-09-27 08.23.20.avi"
“ 17A-仪式开始； MC，亚瑟牧师祈祷并欢迎；合唱团唱歌；姆布西，胖子和其他女孩到达；姆布克斯和伴郎伴娘菲利在车里等着Vusi4 2011-09-27 08.23.20.avi”
That file name might seem silly, but the gamble paid off later. It's totally unambiguous. At this point we're organized and have 105 gigs of files on an external drive.
该文件名可能看起来很愚蠢，但是后来有了回报。 这是完全明确的。 至此，我们已经组织好了，外部驱动器上有105 gigs文件。
在Windows Live Movie Maker中编辑 (Editing in Windows Live Movie Maker)
As I recall around the Windows XP times Windows Movie Maker wasn't very good, but I thought I'd give it a try, because it's free, sure, but also because I didn't want to do lot of multi-layered super complex editing, I just wanted to make a wedding DVD. I did want to do some reasonable interesting editing though because I had multiple camera angles on the same event. I also had the source music that was playing the background.
我回想起Windows XP的时代，Windows Movie Maker并不是很好，但是我想尝试一下，因为它是免费的，当然，而且还因为我不想做很多多层超级游戏。复杂的编辑，我只想制作一张婚礼DVD。 我确实想做一些合理的有趣的编辑，因为在同一事件中我有多个摄影机角度。 我还拥有播放背景音乐的源音乐。
This meant I would/should be able to, for example, take three angles on the ring along with the music in the background and assemble a series of quick cuts in order on the same event while cleaning up the music using the original source. That was about the trickiest thing I'd want to do.
这意味着，例如，我将/应该能够在环上与背景音乐一起取三个角度，并在同一事件中组装一系列快速剪辑，以便在使用原始源清理音乐的同时进行同一事件。 那是我想做的最棘手的事情。
Here's an example sequence. The bride is coming in, I've got cross fades between some (indicated by the white triangle in the corner of each segment) and tight cuts between others. There's music coming in as she walks up, that fades out, the ring, then another song starts up and some photos come in.
这是一个示例序列。 新娘要进来了，我在一些交叉阴影(每段角上的白色三角形表示)和其他之间的紧密切口之间出现了淡入淡出。 当她走路时，有音乐进来，渐渐消失，响起，然后又是另一首歌，还有一些照片进来。
You can mix photos and videos and get a "Ken Burns effect" automatically with pans and zooms around the stills. I mixed and matched video and photos along with audio and didn't have any trouble. I ended up with 364 scenes/cuts in the end, about 80% video and 20% photos.
您可以混合照片和视频，并在静止图像周围进行平移和缩放以自动获得“ Ken Burns效果”。 我将视频和照片与音频混合并匹配在一起，没有任何麻烦。 最后，我最终得到了364个场景/剪辑，大约80％的视频和20％的照片。
Each box there is a segment of video. You can split, trim, set starts and ends and move them around. The green lines are audio files that I brought in of the music that was playing at the time. That made the audio a lot nicer when it was just music playing and allowed for fun dance sequences like this excerpt video below. I really like the crazy color effect starting at 10 seconds in. It really works with the bridesmaids dresses.
每个盒子都有一段视频。 您可以分割，修剪，设置起点和终点并四处移动。 绿线是我从当时播放的音乐中导入的音频文件。 当只是音乐播放时，音频就变得更好了，并允许播放有趣的舞蹈序列，例如下面的摘录视频。 我真的很喜欢从10秒钟开始的疯狂色彩效果。它确实适用于伴娘礼服。
I even published that segment above directly from within Windows Live Movie Maker with the built-in YouTube Plugin.
我什至直接在Windows Live Movie Maker中使用内置的YouTube插件在上面发布了该部分。
I can zoom in to make the segments lengths expand which makes their size more representative of their length in seconds I can also hover over a segment and see how long it is, the filename it came from (see now why I used big filenames?) as well as it's speed, effects, etc all in a tooltip. This segment is about 8 seconds long.
我可以放大以使段的长度扩展，这使得它们的大小更能代表它们的长度(以秒为单位)，我也可以将鼠标悬停在一个段上，看看它有多长，文件名来自何处(现在看看为什么我使用大文件名？)以及速度，效果等都在工具提示中。 该段大约为8秒。
The whole video ended up being 66 minutes and 35 seconds long. It rendered into a 10Mb/s5 gig HD WMV file and fit nicely on a 480p DVD. I may do a 25Mb/s or 50Mb/s Blu-Ray also. Remember that the PAL tapes were 576i and the HD video from the digital cameras were 720p so there isn't really a reason to do a Blu-Ray, but the still photos are all >5 Megabits so they'd be improved by a 1080p treatment. I was pleasantly surprised to see 1080p as an option in Windows Live Movie Maker:
整个视频的时长为66分35秒。 它渲染成10Mb / s5 gig HD WMV文件，非常适合480p DVD。 我也可以做25Mb / s或50Mb / s的蓝光。 请记住，PAL磁带为576i，数码相机的高清视频为720p，因此并没有理由进行蓝光，但是静态照片的大小均大于5兆位，因此可以将其提高1080p治疗。 看到Windows Live Movie Maker中的1080p选项，我感到很惊讶：
影片大小 (Size of Videos)
I was a little concerned that maybe Windows Live Movie Maker (WLM) couldn't do large videos or long videos or complex videos. With 105 gigs over 5 hours turning into an hour of video I figured I'd be taking a chance. Turned out it worked fine. I kept all the videos in their folders and the WLM file is just pointers to all the things I wanted done. The final video editing file from WLM was about 500k. It looks like an XML file with a bunch of time codes.
我有点担心Windows Live Movie Maker(WLM)不能制作大型视频，长视频或复杂视频。 在5个小时内有105场演出变成了一个小时的视频，我想我会借此机会。 原来效果很好。 我将所有视频都保存在它们的文件夹中，WLM文件只是我想要完成的所有操作的指针。 来自WLM的最终视频编辑文件约为50万。 它看起来像带有一堆时间代码的XML文件。
NOTE: I did have one technical issue where I was getting all black video previews in Windows Live Movie Maker. It turned out to be an NVidia Display Driver issue. Mine was old, and when I upgraded to the latest drivers I was all set.
注意：我确实遇到了一个技术问题，即在Windows Live Movie Maker中获取所有黑色视频预览。 原来是NVidia显示驱动程序问题。 我的很老，当我升级到最新的驱动程序时，我已经准备就绪。
It took two sessions of four hours each to edit the video and about an hour to render. I rendered into a large WMV file that was about 5 gigs. I did have three 'hang' crashes in Windows Live Movie Maker over the 8 hours, although I'd been saving every few minutes the whole time. The hangs seemed to be related to me moving audio around too fast then right clicking immediately, but I need to check on that.
编辑视频花了两个时间，每个会话花了四个小时，渲染时间大约是一个小时。 我渲染成一个大的WMV文件，大约5个演出。 尽管我一直在每隔几分钟保存一次，但在8个小时的时间内，Windows Live Movie Maker确实发生了3次“挂起”崩溃。 挂起似乎与我移动音频太快然后立即单击右键有关，但是我需要检查一下。
Then I ran Windows DVD Maker and dragged the final file in. It automatically created scenes and a DVD menu. The opening title also includes a music background and the menu moves (it's not static) which is nice.
然后，我运行Windows DVD Maker并将最终文件拖入其中。它会自动创建场景和DVD菜单。 开头的标题还包括音乐背景，并且菜单移动(不是静态的)非常好。
One of my other obscure requirements was that I needed to be able to make both NTSC and PAL versions of the DVD. I didn't see any options for this in Windows Live Movie Maker, but there are options in Windows DVD Maker. I was able to burn two master DVDs, one PAL and one NTSC. I'll then make copies and send 20 of these home to South Africa knowing they will play in their DVD player.
我其他晦涩的要求之一是，我需要能够制作DVD的NTSC和PAL版本。 我在Windows Live Movie Maker中看不到任何选项，但是Windows DVD Maker中有选项。 我能够刻录两张主DVD，一张PAL和一张NTSC。 然后，我将制作这些副本，并将其中的20份发送到南非，知道它们将在DVD播放器中播放。
结论 (Conclusion)
The couple of crashes were irritating but I crash Adobe Premiere a lot too. Overall, I was impressed. Windows Live Movie Maker was easy to use, had hot-keys for things like Split that sped me up once I got a rhythm going and handled a VERY large amount of high quality video without any issues. I'll use it again for family stuff, weddings and the like.
几次崩溃很烦人，但我也使Adobe Premiere崩溃了很多。 总体而言，我印象深刻。 Windows Live Movie Maker易于使用，具有诸如Split之类的热键，一旦我有节奏就加快了我的速度，并处理了非常多的高质量视频而没有任何问题。 我会再次将其用于家庭聚会，婚礼等。
