Basic.  Usable.  Nowhere near as easy or flexible as the defunct serif editor.
Trial version has a watermark
Rendering speed is OK.  Stabilisation feature works well.
Help is online.  No offline help.
Screen recorder is an extra charge.
WARNING 

So I see this add online.
So I decide to buy.

I've already down loaded the trial version.
When I enter my activation code, I get told wrong version.
Looks like the $39 is for last years model.

So I download the appropriate version which turns out to be videoeditor15

It feels like Movavi has a gazillion incantactions of almost the same thing but not quite.

At the end of the day I have no real idea of what I have bought or should buy

Davinci Resolve (Black Magic)
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/
Seems awkward


FILMORA 9
Frustratingly slow.  I also suspect that it wont work without the internet.

 

 

 

 

 

openshot.org

Rendering seems to loose resolution
scrub seems hard.  No grouping clips - seem to have to move each one.

Cyberlink Power Director

Trimming seemed cumbersome.
in fact te whole timeline operation was awkward.
There are times when one clicks things like to render export and it takes forever to open the screen.

trial videos watermarked.

Vegas PRO

So far OK.
Timeline seems OK
Titling is awkward
Rendering is slow but I have not worked out yet how to match output to input format
My input is 1920x1080 25fps
ie 1080i
I think my output is different

Come-and-try at Centenary

Put a message in a couple of facebook groups offering a come-and-try  opportunity

We had 20 people come and try rowing in 4 quads.

Coaches:

Peter, Tanya, Wayne, John, Dennis, Kim, Frank.

There was a huge range of ages.  From early uni to 70’s.  Mostly women.

After we put the boats away about half the people left and half stayed for a final refresh on the erg. And then some wine and beer on the deck.

After all the come and try people left Peter led an informal meeting on the deck. to discuss and debrief.

The thoughts that came from that included:

  Next time probably two come and trys rather than three.

  Some of the ladies were quite old.  70’s? We (as a club) need to come up with way to handle them.

     An idea floated was that they would continue after the LTR was finished to only row

     Sundays at 3 and

     we will get masters and whatever LTR people who are around to help carry their boat.

We discussed what the LTR program could look like:-

   If we think of a 10 week term, 3 weeks come and try Approx. 4 weeks in quads and 3 in doubles.

   Progression might be staggered and based on rowers skill as observed by the Masters / coaches

   as well as the rowers desire.

We discussed that we are out of sync with the school terms and we normally charge club fees by the term.  Options considered, a few extra $ to get through to the end of term 2.

We discussed considering asking these people to help with the next come and try.  They would be the “experts” by then.  We need to get a culture of being involved as well as simply rowing.  Helping with the next come-and-try would be their first act of service.

On the teaching side, we discussed that we felt there should be a few things that are done the club way and to define those. Like the way we coach.  Things agreed:

a) put the experienced person in the bow seat (rather than the stroke seat which previously would have been what would have done).  This gives the experienced person much more control to steer the boat plus they can see whats happening and help out with coaching.

b) When we roll the boat at the waters edge, Rotate it so the seats are close to the people and the bottom is facing the river.  Far side duck under.  Complete the roll.  The advantages of this are the people holding don’t need to reach out around the hull to grip and the fin is facing the water and less likely to hit the pontoon.

I think the cover is better than the original. But that's art

Angel

Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay

There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins

Let me be empty
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold, hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back

The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold, hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
