Thoughts about weekend three

Within one weekend I have gone from: I can edit video?? to  - I can edit video! It is unbelieveable! In fact, not only can I edit video, but I can convert video clips to a number of differnt files and even sort of know what they mean. Yep, I now can throw around MP4 and AVI as if I know what I am talking about. 

I am so excited about the new world this opens up for me both professionally and personally. The opportunities seem endless. Hard to believe we can grab any YouTube video or any other video file and convert them into a file we can use; even VHS to DVD. Oh and all of this can be done in a reasonable amount of time. I still think it is crazy we were able to put together a video in less than a half an hour.  Check it out.

I thought it would take me weeks to make a video, which I am sure you could edit for weeks, but the ease in which you can produce a video makes this a great option I will consider when designing training.
My department at work has not historically used video, so I am excited to see how we can beginning introducing some audio files into our deliverables.  I will keep you posted on what we are able to do.

  1. I can't believe it! We picked the same darn image!

    Anyway, you and Wendy have both been so interesting to listen to with how you talk about your comfort with the technology. I've always been pretty comfortable using technology, but I needed options and to know what was out there. You seem like you've entered a whole new world! Congrats!
