The Edius capture system appears to have none of these three useful features. It had a preview screen for the pictures as they were captured, the abilty to send said preview to an external monitor, and a stereo bargraph for the audio. Storm Video did the capturing and very good it was too. Now, back in the days of yore, the wonderful DV Storm came with three excellent little applications, Storm Video, Storm Audio and Storm Edit. So, reluctantly, to Edius, where at least the scrubbing doesn't feel like pulling a spoon through treacle, which has a timeline timescale indicator as all good editing programs should, and which will capture a complete HDV tape as one file. However, although my first choice for HD (Vegas) has picons, it also has quite unnecessary quirks and drawbacks in its scrubbing and in other timeline features, together with a cock-eyed capture systen for HDV which won't allow one tape to be captured as one file. I say reluctantly because as many of you will know, I find editing without picture icons on the timeline like trying to drive a car with the main windscreen blacked out.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol.Reluctantly, I have bought Edius 6 and an HD Spark.
Some of the most iconic songs in the history of music had a boost into position as a cultural phenomenon by being tied to a memorable film moment in some of the best movie soundtracks of all time. Because music is so intensely evocative, it deepens the emotional impact of any movie scene and can even slant the way we feel about it. Film a guy in polyester pants walking down a city street with only the sounds of the city around him, and we as an audience aren’t sure what to feel. But play the strong, fast beat of a Bee Gees song all about surviving city life in the background and we instantly feel this man’s cockiness and his surety in his surroundings, and understand the scene without the character having to say a word. In some cases, the addition of a specific song can change the audience’s entire interpretation of a movie moment. In what would otherwise be a traditional, happy-ever-after movie ending with a couple running away from her wedding to another man so they could be together, becomes a moment of brooding apprehension thanks to the addition of a haunting song by Simon and Garfunkel which lets us know that the escaping couple both find themselves thinking about the immense repercussions of their astonishing actions as they ride away together on a city bus. There are many reasons that we love soundtracks, but the most important one is that they make us feel again those strong emotions that the songs brought out in us when we heard them paired with the on-screen characters that we love, hate, or simply identify with.
Listening to the best movie soundtracks helps us to revisit our passionate connection to a favorite movie through the rollercoaster ride of emotions expressed in the music, without having to rewatch the entire movie itself.
