Solo 30 beating the rain. Too many weekends I've sat out having faith in the weatherman. This time I saw a 5 to 6 hour window of dry weather on a couple of sites so I went for it.
Ran into some joggers along the way and a few other riders. Using royalty free music so I don't have to worry about youtube. I guess it works ok!
Did the ride, first time I've gotten up early in a looooong time seeing we get up at 4 am for work. Usually get up about 8:30 to ride but today, if I want to ride, better get my butt out of bed ha ha ha!
Temp was 56 at the start and ended at 67. Nice day and I did beat the rain!
Then to dinner with Gina. And a little photo editing for Gina's Mom. Her brother in the Navy back in 1946. A little newspaper obituary. She wanted to print it out so I tried.
After having had to place my home computer in storage, I did just get a new laptop couple months ago. Nice Asus with enough memory and stuff to create videos once again. Not having my Powerdirector program, I tried a few free downloads. Worked OK but ended up trying Capcut last week. I like it!
Internet based though so it works off the net vs my PowerD that was a stand alone program. PD now is a subscription thing and I hate that. I don't want to have to pay every month. My PD version was about $70 and I didn't have to hassle with anything.
But now, with the Asus, it has a graphics card. I don't know much about that stuff but I have a CPU and a GPU. Looked into how to use them and I guess I got it. Read on the net where some people with big computers have trouble creating video clips. Some claim spending an hour to load a 2 minute video.
I'm creating an 8 minute video in about 2 minutes so I'm happy with this setup ha ha ha! And Capcut is really fast compared to the others and does not stick or fail when I use it. The free version, really cool once you figure it out.
So this is my first full video with Capcut since getting it last week. Got it figured out but still have to find a transition that I like having so many PRO offerings mixed in with the free transitions so it kind of blinds you when you look for the transition one started with. I'll have to memorize or write down names so I can search for them. Gets a little confusing trying to remember names while creating a video.
