Another way to make a little extra cash for our Disney funds

[jessica52877]

I just got my list of videos for the bonus payout. Kind of stinks that I had 20 on it when some people only 2 and same payout! Darn!

I just keep getting more discouraged overall with them.

I think that's what Expo wants. I think they are paying out more than they thought they would and they want to make people want to quit. So, they keep lowering they cap or bonus. Just a thought.

I feel ripped off, too. They did not say they were giving out bonuses for just doing videos, did they? I felt like I made an extra effort and only got $18. I had 17 on my list that they sent me, saying they were quality vids.

I had 13 on my list. Interesting enough, none of them were DVD reviews though I made an extra effort with those. I did find it a bit depressing that I made a $77 bonus in December for 7 videos and just an $18 bonus this time for 13 videos.

I had 15 videos on my list. It makes no sense. It's like they just randomly picked some videos and gave you 18.00

I'll be making my videos w/ a regular digital camera. Can you offer software suggestions for video editing?

I have no clue what I'm doing, but the extra $$ will help out SO much!

Yes, I got my email yesterday but my friend got hers the day before.

Thats weird...DH and I both got the bonus, but no far neither of us got an email...I guess we are that great!

i just use the Windows Movie Maker for editing. Nothing fancy, just clip off my beginning and end here I am reaching for the camera, and then to save seperate clips into one movie file.
HTH!

Can one take a regular video camera and do videos and get them on the computer? I have a video camera that films on C sized (small) tapes. I cant afford to get a new camera.

There are a few ways to do this. But they do require the puchase of some new hardware.
You could use something like a Dazzle bridge, which allows you plug the camcorder into your computer, provided it has the yellow/red/white outlet things.
You could also get a DVD recorder, save the tapes to DVD, and then upload the DVD to your computer.
Those are two ways that I know of. Then you can do a review of your new gear and get some of your money back!

Here's one of the less expensive ones, but the reviews are mixed:

And here is a plain DVD recoder. would be handy to covert those home videos to DVD!

sadly there are only three home videos and somehow i would like to forget scaring our local nun half to death with our sword in the nursing home murders movie.

another thought, what all can one review for expo? Do the videos have to be high qualtity? What do you say about a product?

Honestly, you can review anything, from a TV to a TV dinner. Give a brief overview, what you like, don't like, what could be better, etc. Just watch a few and you'll get the hang of it.

Has anyone read the announcement in the forums about next month? What do you all think this means? It has me a little nervous that they might not be paying for a set number of videos or something.

Yeah, I was tinking something along that lines. I am making sure to hit my limit this month!

I better check the forums out. I haven't heard anything. I still have 15 videos to do for the month.
