Okayyyy, here is my final video. I haven't made it public yet. But here is the link to it. Let me know what you think! Please ignore my "um's, and occasional mush mouth as I must have done 25 different takes.
Also, I wasn't sure how best to thank everyone for the pictures, and mp3s, so hopefully my thank you at the end covers it. If you want me to list your name for something specific in the video - please let me know so I can add it.

Loved the kitty. 
You have nice camera and you're photogenic, first of all.redcat72 wrote: http://youtu.be/j1UFqI2wekc
Texkitty rocks! I'd watch and all-cat reenactment of any Tex game.
Thanks for the compliments so far! Although, the sound being too low is what I was worried about. If anyone has any ideas of how I can fix it - let me know. I'll probably wait until tomorrow night to switch it over to public in case I need to tweak it more.plumgas wrote:good video however the audio is very low

I don't know a lot about video editing but what software are you using to edit video?
Depending on which video software you're using, for example if it has the ability to have separate "layers" (with each of your MP3 audio clips on a different layer), you may be able to adjust the volume by tweaking the layer settings.
For the video audio itself (your voice recording) you may need to first separate it from the video before you can adjust its volume. How you do that depends on the video software you're using. Try googling "separate audio from video" plus the software name.
Alternatively you can try tweaking the different MP3 files you have before taking them into the video software using a free audio editing software like Audacity.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
You can use it to adjust the volume until the little spectrum visualisation (like a heart rate monitor graphic) is at the same level as the other audio clips. You can also use it to amplify quiet audio. Here's a guide I quickly Googled:

You'll still need to separate the audio from your video for the bits you're talking though and export it as a audio file for editing and then add it back to the video. Here's a guide how to do it on Windows Movie Maker:

If adjusting the audio is too much work, you can make closed captions and have them appear by default. If you make a .txt file of everything you said, in order, and add them as subtitles, YouTube will match it to your words automatically. The first time I tried it, I was surprised how well it worked.
It's also helpful for deaf YouTube users.
Gosh. I totally forgot about them.

I'm going to try the captions. And I did upload a bigger HD version, so maybe the quality will be better. The other one is going to be replaced, as you cannot hear the background music at all. From what I've been reading I probably had increase the volume on my mp4's before putting them in the video (not that I have the software to do this tho), because they are at max volume in my Window's Movie Maker. And I tried 3 different devices to record my video spots. The one I chose was the least shitty of all of them! Oh well. Hopefully I can get the captions to work, but the time stamps are giving me fits and showing up in the captions right now.
