Time spent trying to upload either of them onto Youtube without giving google my phone number
There's no way in hell I'm giving google my phone number either. Needless to say, their "privacy" practices are insulting. The outrage can be seen in the comments
here.
I created a Gmail account just for a video to upload, I ignored the prompt box for a phone number, and answered the Captcha (sp?) underneath, and that was good enough. When asked AGAIN when uploading to GoogleTube, there was a "skip for now" sort of option, which I obviously clicked.
My little video took 6 hours. ( crazy for mild amusement ). But, here's what I learned.
-how to download video and split audio from video
-how to modify audio in separate editor
-2 hours of experimenting with different effects to get required results in Vegas and Audacity
-how to glue audio back into Vegas and line it up with video
- Rendering.....Argh. SIX attempts and Vegas kept shutting down.
1.5 hours at least. Searched the net for a solution and found that Vegas often does this. It's apparently caused by overheating. So, I tried tilting my laptop on the corner of the screen and body so air would dispense easier, and kept the cd/dvd drive drawer fully open for air flow while rendering. It seemed to work. Go figure.
Anyways, a lot of work for some goofs.
Oddly, I felt a bizarre indirect sort of rapport with the Pizza Lady through working on her voice so much. Ha. I wish her no harm at all and undertook the process as a purely creative challenge.
I wonder if you're being forced to provide a phone number because you're coming in through proxy?
