I find this to be a more enjoyable experience of listening to my remixes, as opposed to the embedded YouTube videos I’m currently using, which have horrible audio quality and consume too much bandwidth. I’m not actually moving my blog to Vox, though, since I find Vox to be completely unusable (I considered it and it failed spectacularly on multiple levels). So I’m sticking with WordPress (yay!), which unfortunately doesn’t allow audio embedding for free. But whatever. Enjoy.
I’m pleased to announce that the long-awaited remix album is now in … post-production? Something like that. Will be out soon, hopefully. In the meantime, I’ve racked up a bucketload of additional remixes, so I’ll be releasing a bunch of them shortly.
Also, I’ve finally figured out how to turn an audio file, a text description, and a background image into a video on the command line. Yay! No more wasting 15 minutes struggling through a GUI to do something that’s not actually video editing at all. This process took only 5 seconds when I ran it on the command line. And the general idea could also be applied to dubbing a PV with an audio file.
Here’s what I did using Ubuntu 8.04 and the ffmpeg and convert utilities. Configure as you wish; your system may vary.
