I'm Wiped There I Said It

I think living on the road for 4 months caught up with me today. Since leaving Toronto I haven’t stopped. Maybe I’ll add up the miles tonight, been keeping a list.

This is me watching ‘Parks and Rec’ on my white laptop. (never my real laptop. A security episode for another day).

I’ll post about my presentation tomorrow, as well as about the grand-opening of DigiSo – West Virginia’s first digital co-working space. Such a post deserves my best attention, the place is amazing!

Wait till you see the green screen room. Remember my traffic pattern video idea? Yesss.

TTYT have a great night,

Keri

All PowerPoint All Day

I’ve never had slides for when I spoke. Had to remedy that today.

My thinking is this: if you have to have slides playing during your speech, you mustn’t be very engaging, and have already lost the game.

Took way longer to make than I thought it would. I’ve got 20 slides here, and a new respect for PowerPoint presentations. Some have over 100.

Back and forth between all hard drives… I have created 3 terabytes of content over the years, boom boom.

Then I practiced my presentation in this little simulator I set up, ha.

This is great, I now have a 5 minute presentation that I can easily and quickly modify for any audience.

Maybe my favourite slide.

Second favourite.

Then I conked out.

 

 

Do I Ever Love Video Editing

I’ve gotten away with using an ’07 copy of Final Cut Express, until now. Until my new laptop.  I miss it a bit, I was super lightening fast.

I used some of the failed footage from Thursday to figure it out the new software.

Remember when I was pumped about that codec a few weeks back? That was part of this process, which is now done *wipes forehead*.

Here’s a one-minute video I made: What Video Editing Looks Like

How to explain why I love it.… it’s the getting lost in the story, throwing the footage around the timeline, trimming and transitions, now add in some music oh YA now we’re talking!  fist pump your screen!… now you’re conducting with your left hand while your right clicks the crap out of your mouse, 4 hours have passed and you have no cue,  you’re too lost in creating and LOVE IT.

I’m not a fan of the new way of transitions… they’re all too fancy, and it tries to force me to put them on both ends of the clip, dumb.

You can export the video straight to YouTube, slick.  And the new method of importing clips, really slick.

Have a great Monday!  I’ve got a presentation to finish here, more on that soon, and start saving your pennies… Canada is deleting them as you know, and I’ve got a great thing for you to do with them for charity.

Here’s to a good start to your week today, TTY on Twitter,
