Video Editing Adventures

Table of Contents

I have a new role at work. For many years I managed the application development teams, but with recent growth and shifts, I’ve moved to the Marketing and Communications team as an innovation architect. The new role has so many interesting opportunities to learn new skills. One thing I’ve been learning is video editing. Our Marketing team has one videographer. She out-sources a great deal of the filming and editing work, but with limited funds, she does as much as she can personally.

With my technical background, it seems like a good fit. I’ll throw in a good word here for Lynda.com. A great resource!

For the work, I’ve been using Final Cut Pro X. It’s quick and easy to use. I did one test project using Premiere. It is a powerful tool, and I really like the integration with the other Adobe products.

I’m not sure which will win out in the end, but I’m really enjoying the creative challenge. One of the first videos I edited was for a young kid and his family who received a gift from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The audio was rough, but I did the best I could, and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

What a treat to learn new skills.

Yeah, I know. This post is a bit down, but I wanted to share a photo in a post, so why not post about my recently deceased Dalmatian?

Torn wailing grief; a cold wind
Through emptiness and regret.

Ideal of selfless gift, strength and beauty,
Leaves the final lesson cold.
In thought and apparent gentle reminder,
Of life’s fluid nature, the final gift,

‘Life Happens!!’ We’ve all seen the bumper stickers. Some use different words, but the meaning is the same. It’s the cynic’s answer to ‘Why?’ It’s also the optimist’s answer to the same question. I like to finish the statement this way: ‘Life Happens!! Get over it!!!’

‘Why…is this happening to me?’ It is one of the age old questions. Many authors have offered their version of the answers. Viewpoints are varied, of course. We blame others, we blame God, and sometimes we even blame ourselves. One thing is for sure. There are no easy answers.

Swatch Quilt Ideas

I’m working through Barbara Walker’s first Treasury of Knitting Patterns and making some swatches. I think I’ll make them large, with a bulky yarn and maybe turn the resulting swatches into a blanket someday.

Today it’s the Inverness Diamonds pattern using Berroco Vintage Chunky left-overs from my large cardigan.

Nice texture. Lovely pattern. Enjoy!
