Hello, vidders! were_duck and skud asked me to host this discussion for anyone in the process of putting together a vid to submit as a premiere to their Wiscon vid party.

(Info about the party and premieres info post.)

The deadline is in a couple of weeks -- May 1st (with a late deadline of May 13th, do let them know if you’re planning to submit later). Fear not, if you’re still trying to get something together! There is still time.

This post can operate as an open thread when we can commiserate, seek out betas and get any technical or moral support required to make it to the end.

Here are some resources that might be useful, particularly for newer vidders:
