Video Boot Camp ~ The More I Learn, the More I Realize I Have so Much More … to Learn!
A huge "thank you" to NWM for a comment he left in my Video 2 article.
His comment hit home hours later -- in the middle-of-the-night -- when in pondering it over-and-over, I came to the following realizations regarding the making of a video
1) Certain videos cannot be planned and staged from frames #1 to infinity -- insects, birds and other wildlife don't show up on a "set" at a designated time, "perform" as per the direction of a director nor follow a "script."
2) Because of the terms dictated by 1), the subjects noted therein will likely NOT be recorded in a continuous run of frames and consequently
3) The video in its entirety may need to be trimmed , that is, require that some of its frames be discarded -- figuratively "cut out" -- which literally means digitally removed -- possibly "spiced" and even sequenced digitally with other video clips!
That's the short version; basic aspects of photography and videography like exposure settings are things I've learned and used for still photography for years they need to be applied more-or-less with the same considerations, but still, they're part of the learning curve.
Here's a video I recorded this afternoon applying NWM's lesson from yesterday trimming and clipping and saving a run of frames somewhere between the first and last.
Dowser also has contributed to my fledgling endeavors in videography.

That was great Mac. I love watching chickadee's and the music was fitting.
I'm waiting for the hummingbird video...That should be great.
The music is perfect for that little fellow! He's so cute!
Every time you try one, you get better!
As far as getting wildlife to cooperate, my cats didn't want to cooperate, either. Remember this?
I'm not ready to do a "Gracie" video way back when you first posted videos, I thought about giving it a try but I backed off. So, although it took a year or more, your influence, latent though it has been took hold.
I have no talent, just enthusiasm...
You have "the gift", dear A. Mac-- I look forward to all of your videos!
That looked easier than herding cats ... but not by much .
Although I am able to view some videos, I cannot open them all. Unfortunately, most videos posted by members cannot be viewed by me. I know there must be different ways to post them, but not all the ways to do so will work for me. However, don't go to any trouble just to allow me to view and comment.
NowhereMan has posted classic films, with 3 different methods on each to open and view, and I have been able to open at least one of them.
Buzz,
How about QuickTime videos?
It's not the format . It's the website .
