This Jan so far:

This will be coming - 17th

-----

I'll put that completely random compilation video up here. It’s going to be a bit of a pain though, because after doing everything in Paint 3D, I’ll have to redo the timing for every slide and resync the music to match. Determined to get it finished today. That’s what I’d planned a week ago anyway.

P.S.

If you do anything with the slides before, add more, remove some, the Custom Audio needs to be dealt with and that is GREAT FUN.

8:30 pm now. Had supper and semi-freshened up, so take out an hour or so from that. In the end, it’s all done now! A treat for the spectator ions! Call it a festive gift or a flashback that’s hard to miss out on. And as far as having it here is concerned, not unconsidering it either. Something very opposite to this would be done tomorrow.

22:39

Uploaded the exported video without any glitches or hiccups! Also, backed up!!

Let me tell you for sure that once you back it up, you can do anything with the Video Projects folder. Delete any of it. No problem. Whatever was collected in those recently classified folders doesn’t need to separately have everything that this video already has, so yay.

Gotta clear the PC first. That’d happen tomorrow. Night 🌙!

All the happiness lies in focusing on the ol’ gen in particular and both sets of grandparents. In a nutshell, this time it was dad’s set and the fully unseen pics, which was something strikingly different from the vids done so far. In a way, this really is a purely random compilation, and it didn’t need to be…everything. Less stress. More broader exploration kaaroongi, i.e. as already anticipated, Focusrite's music tools , such as, Softtube, Protools and that's all I recall btw.

All in all, this PRC is “yay” moment. 2 days late.

Imported it, and having what you see above in place would bring it all back. Adding them just means more music duration to work with. Hopefully, that won’t be an issue... except maybe for the childhood part, which is accompanied by an instrumental. If an extended version of that doesn’t already exist, I’ll have to make one.

Though today, the 19th, it’s gonna be done. Once I’m done with my feast in a bit, I’ll be back to finish this completely.

P.S. Here's it!!

This, but not limited to The Persuaders' Theme (Flute version!! Go check that out!), Living in Video, Top Gun's Opening Theme, Chi Mai, In Aankhon Mein Tum, Mad Max & finally, Silence somewhere around!).....

Oh well, got the beat sitting where it should now. That lingering feeling of aisa nahi hua is finally gone! Good thing I felt like reopening PRC. Now there’s a whole series of backed-up VPBs along with their corresponding exported videos except for the first three. Thank goodness I remembered the backups when I did, especially for the ones that had the most work put into them.

By now, it’s really just about seeing this through to the end, and then tomorrow comes the final collection of memories.

Night, night!

So, before going ahead, here it is:

From finding the right tools to work with the audio, to switching up the instrument for the music, converting between formats, and everything else in between. ☝ marks the end of the story for the sunkissed visuals up to 1:22 of the video!

Here's my version of the Siyaasat series' music.

Now, I'd call mom to figure out a potential variety of instrumentals.

And that's the instrumental of Dil Tadap Tadap Ke! Done now.

Time to share them all as one and have these 6 in place. That'd be better.

And here's a folder that isn't necessarily any close to those vpbS, so there's some real work on the way!

Last year felt unending, stretching all the way from the months leading up to ‘21. By August ‘21, I felt grounded, no longer bewildered by fantasy or endangered in reality. I remember sitting on that small yellow chair near grandma’s cupboard, recording songs like Pyaar Karne Waale, Chura Liya, and Dum Maro Dum on my Focusrite equipment. That mid-summer was full of long walks and travel. In a sentence, It was adopting a newer form of mine and adapting to an altered outlook of life. That, thinking about it now, was awfully real and I swam through it no matter what. Every small physical movement had me hit a ceiling. The next two months were consumed by math problems (polar curves and everything) on square sheets. By Sep, I was gearing up for the next phase of life, listening to Caribbean Queen. From Nov ‘21 to July ‘22, my routine changed. I would unlock my dad's room in the freezing mornings at 3 (ooh how I forgot), working on his desktop for a few hours before he needed the space. It was a massive contrast to my noisy, grinding SP4. Since ‘21, its the bittersweet shreds of experiences ranging from transitioning (from beloved) to bereaved. Officially launched a YT channel that will stay forever (and facing the mismatched lists of recordings of Telugu songs a year later, but for good cause it goes on and onnnn), navigated a fading pandemic, informed tht backed-up vpbS (safely so ) 5-6 months later, and spent a typical gap year hunting for the right path forward. Finally, after sorting through a million doubts, I bought a new laptop (first time when I let others’ opinion take over) and started working on importing VPBs (which should inform whatever remains apart from their direct uploads later), while troubleshooting the "We can't find the file".
