It’s early morning and the princess is still asleep, so not much has happened today. I’ll tell you about my blunder last night while editing. We recorded the podcast at noon and I was able to edit the video at night after the baby went to sleep. It was about 40 minutes long and I had done some cool new techniques I’ve learned since there was a moment where Flizo, who was recording in his car while vacationing with his family, turned off his car and it started beeping, I had to edit out the noise. There was another scene about 30 minutes in where I edited in an image we were talking about. After I was finished I wanted to cut off the last literal second of the video, I pressed delete to remove it. Apparently I had the wrong section highlighted and deleted the last 10 minutes of the video, because I was tired and wanting to be done with it I exported the file. At that point I can’t do edits to that video anymore, if I had noticed before I clicked export I could have hit undo and saved myself some headache. The situation is resolved now, it just meant I had to go back and re-edit the last 10 minutes, then I had to make a new video that put together the 30 minutes with 10 minute ending where I ran into some more problems. I couldn’t upload the ending since it was too large a file, there was another route I could take, that’s the great thing about computers is they can do anything you want it’s only a matter of knowing the different paths. Finding that new path was a learning experience and I learned a lot, like to be patient and triple check.
