Editting yesterday's video

The session at the Locksmith's House yesterday was very challenging (I'm not happy with some of the images), and interesting, but unexpectedly the opportunity arose to shoot some video - I'd not even experimented with video on the E-M5 before this, and would have chosen to take the GH2 if I had expected to do any video! I haven't shot any video for several months (possibly not this year), so apart from the unfamiliarity with the camera, my video-edittong 'skills' (that is a joke) were rusty. An update to Final Cut Pro X proved very troublesome to download - turns out there is a bug, and I had to delete FCPX and then re-download it to get the latest update. Then I used lynda.com to refresh some of my FCP technique. Lynda.com does not have a great name, nor is the logo inspiring, and to someone of my vintage it brings up mental images of teaching typists to use WP software! However, a mention on The Online Photographer (I think) prompted me to look at their current offerings, and I was quite impressed, and have subscribed for the present. As with all educational and training material, how it is presented and the level at which it is pitched can determine whether it suits YOU, or you hate it! Of 3 videos I have/am in the process of watching I have to say the pace is quite variable, but I have found them all useful (only finished one so far). Needless to say, in mentioning this product I have absolutely no financial interest.

A very rough shot with the Olympus E-M5 and 14-150mm lens.
