Not *quite* roses.

But my financial situation, on receiving my bank/credit card statement doesn’t seem quite as bleak as it did a few days ago. If I get my NHS Bursary through this, or even next week, then I might actually be able to swing round things so that:

– I’m paying my rent on time
– I’m paying my credit card bill on time
– I can actually buy some food

Which will be important, ‘cos with Nikki and ‘meriKate moving out I won’t be able to get away with going shopping once a month. Which has been really bloody helpful these past few months – just stocking up on the odds and sods I like that they don’t buy (well, they don’t shop at lidl so how could they?! ;-) ).
(more…)

So I made a video. I can’t export it.

I can’t *show* anyone what I’ve done, because premier 5.1 (now 5.1c, thanks to an update I managed to locate) can’t actually *render* video. It crashes randomly. If I’m *in* the room it will almost invariably make it as far as ‘about 5 minutes remaining’. Unfortunately this spans several possible video clips – none of which have any actual problems with them.

My usual system of tweaking positions and things isn’t working, because *normally* it reliably crashes at one point. Now it’s just crashing whenever it feels like it. I think this is the last video I’ll ever attempt to produce using premier. I dunno what other windows-based video editors there are, but I’m going to have to find an alternative.
