I finally ran out of hard drive space on my new computer
So out of 55.76 GB on my hard drive I had used up at least 54 GB, probably more. Therefore, so as to have more room, I started deleting some of the files I didn’t really need to have on my computer. I have so far managed to get 14.73 GB of available space on my hard drive. Pretty good is that not?
I found out something with my movies. A still frame takes a whole lot less space to store than a regular film clip. So if it’s one of my doll, lego, or other film that has a clip that is static then I can just create a still frame that is the same length as the clip, extract the audio from the original clip, place the still frame in the proper place and delete the original clip. On one movie I cleared a whole GB doing this. I still have a few more movies to convert using this method.
Unfortunately however this doesn’t make the compressed movies smaller in file size 
Oh well…
So today, instead of cleaning up my room I’m cleaning up my hardrive! Since my computer is, to some extant, a part of my room I think I can get away with it.
