Yeah, I understand.

Video editing is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. There are videos to either create or select (or both), scripts to write, sound tracks to select and edit, special effects, motion graphics, cutting, editing, rendering, colorizing, and the list goes on and on. When the project has a lot of effects and different video footage , it can take a long time to render. Even with my 12 core 64GB mac pro, with two graphics cards, I still have to wait and wait (on some projects, not all), multitasking while it renders; and one mistake or typo, render again. I want 24 cores and 1TB of RAM and TBs of SSD storage like in the new mac pros coming out later this year!

Google' s CEO has publicly stated that their YT (video) search engine is expected to surpass the Google text search engine soon; so it is crystal clear that the trend is toward video; and that professionals and hobbyists alike are moving to video as their media of choice for presentations, explainers, tutorials, documentaries, entertainment, news and more. Experts say the younger generation(s) who grew up with YT and social media have very short attention spans so videos should be fast and furious (and interesting, etc) to hold their interest or they will just jump to the next video.

I agree with you Wise that the original intro sound track along with the cosmonaut punching in a password for the cybersecurity list video was dope; and if I was not "forced" to render again to fix my self-inflicted typos I would have left the sound track as is. I just wanted to change it for fun in the second render. I also agree with you that the heavy rock sound does have a lot of distortion and is too "loud" (compressed dynamic range) as you said, and the sound quality really suffers on small speakers like on a mobile (but it rocks on my desktop setup).

The fun part of course is expressing your hobby (hobbies) and interests creatively using video and so video is no different than writing text in a forum, as we rapidly move forward toward 2020. Video is getting easier and easier to create and specific effects are becoming easy to apply; so the entire video genre is rapidly transforming. This is one reason that Google is predicting video will dominate all search in the near future. Most young people create videos now versus writing text (which to them is like a vacuum tube amplifier, I guess, a pleasant relic of the past)

Having said that, if you want me to edit a video for you let me know. You can provide some photos, HD videos and / or screen captures of your hobby project(s) and select B-roll (stock) videos from Motion Array or StoryBlocks to add to your story and you can select the sound tracks from Motion Array as well. We can chat on the phone if you ever get to the stage where you want to share your hobby on video and it will be featured in our new video player we show to guest users at unix.com.

You have a really cool hobby Wise, and it would be cool to share it in one or more videos and I'm happy to do a video editing project with you and publish your video on our Daemon Media channel, if you ever feel the urge to get into video to express and share your hobby.

For me, I wish I had jumped into video years ago, but as the cliche' goes, 'better late than never'. It's really a lot of fun when you get the hang of it; and hopefully someday my videos will be of higher quality.

Be Creative and Rock on!
