iMovies rant

This draft was initially in one blog entry but I feel it deserves a heading and a dedicated post, thus I cut the draft and put it in here. For obvious reason too, this blog entry was spread across many days starting from 10th July 

I’m trying to get those clear cut iMovies out asap, those which I think I have nothing to write so I can finished faster BUT NO…… Somehow this is the only time I get the chance to get the location and pinpoint places easily, if I need to pinpoint location when all photos are in hard disk it takes 3 steps to key in the GPS into Google map. In other words the chiong-hay me still need to identify the location etc… I’m trying to do the best of my best for iMovies. 

I do research or see if I can find any information. One will feel that he/she is watching a documentary. 

For sure MET’s visit I have to do another day coz just so many to type. I think I may even need to do 2 parts iMovie for that day (24th May). 

How much of effort do I put in for my iMovies? 200%. Now that I don’t bring video camcorder out, my iMovies is not just on sights but even include the funny things I filmed of the family eg. the messy hair girl waking up in the morning. Now that I make them, will we ever watch them? I really don’t know. Is it a worthless effort to do them? I really don’t know but I think I’ll be glad in years to come to see that teeny weeny girl jumping around in my videos. 

Vivavideo gives me a video in MP4 format, iMovie in MOV format. I love using Vivavideo but recently I’ve been getting a lot of glitches where the frame freezes; the text freezes. I just hope in years to come when technology gets even better and advance, they will not drop a bomb that all MP4 and MOV are not compatible. 

The reason for rushing iMovies is coz I need to clear some photos as I’m going on a trip again. And then my current 29103 photos will add on again. It’s never-ending! Each day I can take from 300++ to 900++ photos. It’s a lot! Each video can be an hour plus long. Chiong hay person is like that one. Always a fight against time. Haiz! If I don’t do it, I’ll regret. If I do, I’ll complain. 女人真矛盾！

As at 10th July evening - I completed my 23rd May imovie and cleared the pics. Cleared  Now my camera roll stands at 28324 out of which 23741 (hopefully I put all pics into the album and didn't miss out any dates) are all the remaining holiday pics since 2019. Gasp! That's close to 84% of the photos. I won't be doing anymore imovies coz I don't think I have the time, unless I have the time in Japan to do so. 

In actual fact, I have more days still not done. It doesn’t mean no date written here means I’m only left with these few to do. Yup! That explains the 29000+ photos.

10th July evening , after 23rd May’s iMovie is completed 

I cleared some more ‘I think I won’t have time to check thru the recipes’ photos and some into the thumb drive. Oh! Did I mention that I have 3 of these small SanDisk IXpand flash drive that comes to my rescue. I’m sure it was invented by someone who has many photos and documents to clear from their phone, just like me. 😜

DURING JULY’s JAPAN TRIP

I did some camera roll count and apparently I didn’t finish recording how many photos at the end of 17th and 18th each day. Last count 30,050 on 20th July.
