Listing Smugmug Galleries Instructions-Smugmug Listing Sorting of Galleries

Hi Folks
(Technical Smugmug stuff, skip if you want)


http://instructionsbydon.blogspot.com/2011/09/smugmug-galleries-don.html

A listing at the  above is one of those things that tickles me to death with the computer when I learn about it
  • I found a Utility that lists galleries in Smugmug in the  wink of an eye.
  • I wanted something like this for years. The above link is to all my Smugmug Pictures in one list. It has links to all the Galleries. . .
  • I could have shown you one gallery as I have done for my Sunday School at  http://ownbeyss.blogspot.com/2011/09/pictures.html, but this lets you see all.
  • After it was created, I put the list on the Blog by selecting, copying,  and pasting into  a new page on my blog.
  • As I indicated above, I can do one for UNC  - or any of the Categories - by selecting and copying and pasting. If all you want to view yours, it is done for you already.
  • For those interested, below is the link to sign in (with your Smugmug address-  to make the list). I copied the whole list, then pasted into my web  blog. Of course one can just go on line and sign in and see the results. If I am too unclear, let me know.
  • With my galleries in the hundreds in some categories, this makes it easier to find things/pictures
  • Just to print out the list of my Galleries takes 37 pages! This is  a life saver . .

Link to the page on line (to  use for your listing):
http://smugroom.com/tools/gallery-list/

Then Sign in:
You can find your account name in the browser address of your  Smugmug,  for example:
Mine:
http://donredding.smugmug.com/
then add your password
and I would complete like this:

image

Linda:
http://lsm.smugmug.com/
Linda to sign in  would use lsm for account and then it already has .smugmug.com added in the form. then add password.

Milton:
http://hotshot.smugmug.com/

Sally:
http://sallyrh.smugmug.com/

Julie:
http://julessz.smugmug.com/

John:
http://thediazs.smugmug.com/

As I said, skip all this if you want  . . .

Joining Videos

Sally
Ignore:  http://donsinstructions.blogspot.com/2011/09/video-joining.html



This link :
http://instructionsbydon.blogspot.com/2011/09/joining-videos.html

Sally, the best answer is to try  use the free Format Factory found at
http://www.pcfreetime.com/

If not free, get  back to me.
Here is what you do (assuming you get the program installed)

  1. This is on line at
  2. first, email me right now and tell me what extension your videos have.(avi,mp4,mov,wmv, etc)
  3. click on advanced, select video Joiner



image

See picture below:
click add file (let's just try two clips to add together or "Join" to make it easier on the program and faster for us to see if works)  and find the movies you want. Be sure you select MP4 output, at least for a start. . . .
and then try to figure it out. Hard to make it put completed video where you want it. I want back in folder it came from. This program orks for me about half the time depending on how many, how big,  and what I am trying to do. There are so many settings for video and audio and it is a chore to get them all working. But right now try a test and let me know what happens.
Let me know results and we can continue

image
What we/you are trying to do should be easy but  it can be hard. I have other programs we can try if this Format Factory does not work for you.
Let me know results and we can continue

Here are notes when I had problems once on a particular project -= don't even try to undserstand it, nut cam look at rest of this email below . .

Format Factory

This was a big problem I was able to fix
The Format Factory was added a whole set of rather duplicating recording and adding to end of file so was twice as long I thought I fixed but no 4:57 PM
I messed up Fff and t by downloading new copy and them would not work at all. I bought the revco uninstaller I had on trial and it could not find it either just as Windows add remove. I then forced it by putting a copy of the path and name in to the palces in revco and got rid of it. Then I had download of ff already and i installed it but it now still does what did before, it dioes the video conversion and then plays again the video but last is with out sound. I spent lot of time trying to fix before I screwwed it up so I am at a losss. ,nmeans I now have to edit the converted video and remove, then save but then it will be big and that was being smaller that was rerason fior ff so now I have one bigger and if I try to convert it will double it again

September 19, 2011 - continuing email to Sally

Original email until I reread your email  saying you wanted to add the small videos together into one -
About editing videos, That is really a big subject.  "It all depends . . "
Here are some notes I made, but not finished.


the following is not complete.

  1. If you have Videos, you need to decide where you are going to put them for viewing. Does you football site take videos for example, how long and how big.
  2. Smugmug takes about any size and any format but limited to 10 minutes. Have to have the service above the basic -Basic: $40/year  •  Power: $60/year  •  Pro: $150/year
  3. YouTube has a 10 minute limit unless you are a big user and then you can get hour long ones. Our church qualified for the long ones based on lots of usage. I can't qualify.
  4. I find lets me set up a title on line and some other editing stuff, can't really remember why I have it but I have 26 videos there. I think because I am trying to find a place for old avi movies, but not sure.put hour or so videos ther but that cost for subscription, maybe $50 a year. Look at this one I did recently in Duke Chapel and when there you can see more of mine   http://vimeo.com/27154368
  5. I can put any size on my donredding.com server so I am not limited by size or length  or even extension , though the MP4 is smaller and better and shorter to upload. Of course most folks do not have on domain set up, but maybe you do now.
  6. have to figure out what extension you are getting from your camera. Is it mov, wmv, avi or mp4, etc. 
  7. My camera puts it out in mov and most players will read that.
  8. wmv is what Windows media stuff likes but some players do not read it.
  9. the best one is mp4 but  most of the time you have to convert from the others to mp4.
  10. Most of the other extensions are very large and it is better to reduce the size and besides mp4 works about every where, it is similar to h264 which is probably the best.
  11. What do you mean by editing, if you mean joining together smaller videos into one, that is one thing. If you are trying to do real editing, that is another. Often you want to cut out stuff and then add what is left into so9mething else.
  12. I have spent so many hours on this subject. I have tried dozens of programs. They all do different things. Many are not what they say they are and then I find some great ones. I find they all need to be updated and  often quit working when other parts of process change/update.
    1. for example, if I want to put together several clips into  a longer piece, you need a program with a "Joiner" function - took me forever to realize that term instead of "merge."
    2. If you want to change color, that is something I have not even tried to do
    3. If you want titles, that is another type program
    4. If you want to mix in photos, another 
  13. Here are some programs I have used
    1. Smugmug
    2. ooops I started to list all my programs but I decided to take picture of my desktop and you can see that way

That looks neat. I might try using that for my laptop for vacation pics. What have you found for simple editing of videos? I took a bunch of videos of Logan pitching, and just want to edit it into one long stream so it's not stopping and starting.

This is a neat program for organizing and edit pictures. It is free. I know you use the CM program efficiently, but this one is worth looking at. I usually use Polyview but moving to this more and more.

20110917 UNC Virginia

Hi Folks
(Hope all these  pictures do not slow down the email, if so just go to this link:
http://instructionsbydon.blogspot.com/2011/09/20110917.html  )
We had a great time with all of you and appreciate your hospitality.  Your kids are all champs.
Tenn / Panther  it is and we look forward to  seeing  as many of you as can come. I have 9 tickets in all and will wait  to sell any until we know the number for sure that we need. Don't let that be a worry about any thing.
I bet you know Newton's stats by now, if not they are worth checking out. Set several Rookie records. The sports talk guys are acting like we won the Super Bowl.
----------------------------
Hope you can make the Va game this weekend. If so, I will want to mail you a parking pass or I can arrange perhaps to have one  at the gate when you come in. At appropriate time I will give you better directions to the  McCauley/Global Building underground parking lot right across from the  Carolina Inn. If you could come early I could feed us at the Carolina Club which is fun but we would want to be there by 1:30 (and to Parking lot by 1 pm to make it ok) so that might be too early.image
http://donredding.com/pptest/121aaa53ab4a4bb58df58b17935d9729.jpg
WeI would love for you to do this. I have 9 tickets in the mezzanine for Va as I was  hoping maybe you guys could work  it out. They are arranged in sets of 4, 3, and 2 but all in easy distance of each other to move around. This probably will be last year I have so many as the Mezzanine is next on the upgrade list and my 10 or 20 year "psl like"  time has run out and the new cost is to be mighty high.
Here are pictures from last week, ALL us kids could enjoy it. And with the seating arrangements in the mezzanine, it would work well to keep them corralled.
http://donredding.smugmug.com/Sports/UNC-2011/20110910/18902616_gLnxM2#1472829956_3tBbZb7

Mezzanine: Half time, plenty of move around space, rest room and concessions behind photographer, our seats to right:
image
I still have tickets , except for WF, to all the other games of varying numbers.
Take your time and it would be great if some or all of you come this weekend. Logan remembers the last time but all he remembered was that it rained, but he says that with enthusiasm !
My best, Don

More directions later, but you would come down "busy" #86 I bet:
