Video Test

I am testing my ability to actually download a video. I am thinking about creating a YouTube channel and have to learn to edit and download clips and videos. If I do create a YouTube channel it will be about news stories mostly. A lot like this blog; but, I wasn't to download clips and comment on them. So here we go.


Wow, uploading videos takes FOREVER. I want to slit my wrists it takes so long to download, upload and process a video onto Blogger. I shall have to see how long it takes to upload the same video to YouTube.

Went to YouTube and tried to upload the video (it is already on their site so I know the video can be uploaded). Did not work because it is over 15 minutes long and you have to have your account verified somehow for videos over 15 minutes. Good to know, tells me how long the clips I use should be. I shall find a shorter video and try again.

Okay, I downloaded a video that was almost 4 minutes long, lets try and download it to Blogger.


Downloading was much better but uploading still takes some time. I can already tell that making videos is going to take less time then processing them. This tells me I will want to keep videos I make to around 10 minutes. Any videos I make will be made on a refurbished laptop, no high end equipment here.

UPDATE

Okay, managed to find some free software and edit the first video above. I was not concerned with getting it right (the edit), just with doing it. I shall post the video below.
