I would like to see a forum in video editing. Some shared information about which editors are worthwhile, how the features really work, and basically the same wonderful stuff I see in the other forums. I know many people start with Windows Movie Maker and grow out of that very quickly. Even so, some tips and tricks with it are not out of place, either.

Just my suggestion, maybe no one else sees a need.

Whats wrong with multimedia?

Why does everyone that joins up want to rearrange the furniture before they've gotten to know the place?

[Yankee Rose]

Hmmm ..... Sticking my neck on the chopping block probably, but I tend to notice that those who are newer to the forums, and make a suggestion, tend to get blasted a lot more.

I personally think it would make a lot more sense to have a subforum for video editing then it would for several of the "community" subforums (Civilized Debate, Random, Announcements, etc.)

This is a tech-related site after all.

Why is it that people who are new are regarded as know-nothings just because they haven't been on the forum long? That attitude says more about the "old" user than it does about the new person. FWIW, I entered the computer business in 1968, probably before you were even born. Show a little respect if you think you have what it takes to be "Mighty Moderator".

[JohnWill]

Since I went to work for IBM in 1966, your assumption is false.

That "respect" you mention flows both ways. I'm not sure how you were regarded as a "know nothing", I don't see that in my response. I just feel when you're "new", you might spend a little time and get to know the place the way it is before you suggest changing it. Do you walk into a house you've never been to before and start rearranging their living-room?

[Fait2]

Well, I am still waiting for some respect for you and haven't seen it, so don't ever expect any from me.

Apparently if you really worked for IBM, you never took any interpersonal skills seminars. Or perhaps you didn't last long enough to qualify for one.

Again, I am not suggesting to "rearrange the furniture" but to make a an addition to the site that might prove useful to some.

For that matter, who do you think you are to even make such a comment? As usual, I see that arrogance and ignorance seem to reinforce each other.

Kindly refrain from further comment, I have no desire to ever hear from you again. You are also cordially invited to refrain from even reading my posts, much less commenting on them. What this board really needs as a "block user" feature. You would surely be at the top of my list.

Had you bothered to get to know this forum better, perhaps you would have discovered this feature

What are the buddy and ignore lists?
The buddy list is used to keep track of the friends you have made on this forum. By going to your "My vB Home", you'll be able to see which of your friends are currently online, and be able to send them a private message. Adding people to your buddy list also allow you to send private messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking this button in a member's posts.

Ignore lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not to read. By adding someone to your ignore list, those messages posted by these individuals will be hidden when you read a thread.

I see you were looking in a mirror...for that is the very image you are reflecting.

Perhaps you should take notes next time YOU attend one.

I think I'm going to go ahead and close this thread, it's not going anywhere but down.........

[Mulderator]

I opened this back up again (with AcaCandy's permission) as its been a few days--any further deterioration and it will be closed again.

I thought it is important to comment that "Multimedia" is where much of the video editing is discussed. I know a lot about it and have done a lot of video editing and its not limited to video editing--"Multimedia" is probably a better title.

The problem is that I've been to sites that have so many sub-forums that it becomes counter-productive. For example, digital cameras, DVD drives, Firewire cards, Burning Software, Digital Media, etc. are all part of video editing, but also have their own questions that come up, so "video editing" would constrain it too much. We have a hardware forum that we could divide up into a lot of different sub-categories, but it would make it worse.

Johnwill's point was that we have been here for years and these topics have come up before--its an evolution process and you should see how things work for awhile because otherwise its difficult to make a suggestion right off the bat.

Hope that helps.

And for what its worth--a "Video Editing" sub-forum is certainly not a bad idea. We will give it consideration.

Sacrilege!!!!

I can certainly agree with that...

[JohnWill]

Well, I'm glad that my point wasn't totally lost.

[Omega_Shadow]

I have noticed that both Buck's and JohnWills responses get taken the wrong way or just missunderstood by new and veteran members alike. Absolutely nothing against you guys, just noting that it might be the way you guys word things that gets people confused.

And on the point of new sub-forum, I agree with both Mulder (shiver) and JohnWill. For something as complicated as Video Editing many different processes are involved. Placing it in its own sub-fourm would just cut down the amount of responses to your questions and cause greater confusion about where to post your question.

John had a very good point about learning about your surroundings before you suggest changes. When you come into a new work enviroment dont you learn the current process and surroundings before you start offering improvements?

[JohnWill]

Nobody has ever accused me of being subtle.
