Sixteen video shops in two days kept me busy... But, wow, I had a year's worth of technical mishaps, causing a ton of stress with about $1000 on the line....
* My video glasses failed to charge properly on day one, causing them to not fully record a couple of car wash shops - which I had to do again on day 2. My car is very sparkly-clean now.....
* I was clearing up my filing system for video storage and inadvertently deleted all my PV500 files from 2020. No big deal, right? How often do we need to resubmit video files? Wrong. An editor misplaced on of my video files and needed me to resubmit it. (Thankfully she was able to find it several hours later on her end.)
* On my last PV-500 shop, I managed to accidentally put my recorder into "motion detect" mode, which resulted in missing several minutes of the interaction and having 30+ 1-minute videos instead of on 40-minute video... I've uploaded my (good) audio file and am hoping..
* One of the MSC's file upload services is really being persnickety and only successfully uploading video on about 50% of my attempts. Of course, it doesn't "fail" until it's been going several hours. Of course this is the MSC for which I did the majority of my shops.
I'll likely lose the "motion-detect" shop - which was $130 (aargh) and my sanity is long-gone....
Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
