It seems like ages since I posted a YouTube video.
Last year, I promised myself that I'd create at least one video each month, and on the average, I did that. But there were times when a month would go by and I'd have nothing new on my channel.
This year, I hadn't put out a single video in the first two-and-a-half months. That, however, changed this weekend.
When I returned from Costa Rica, I had shot more than 1,000 photos and had hundreds of video clips. Most of the video was captured on my smartphone but I also had a couple of my Insta360 video cameras, which I used on a three-metre selfie stick, or mounted on our rental vehicle with a strong magnet, or strapped to my chest.
It took time to extract all of the footage, edit the ones from the 360-degree camera, and organize them. On Saturday, I told myself that I'd start work on creating a video, with my goal of having the video uploaded to YouTube by the end of the month.
I finished and uploaded the video that day.
Usually, it would take me a couple of weeks to prepare a video, using my Windows laptop and my old software, Pinnacle. But this time, I was using our MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro. The workflow was very easy and very fast.
I wanted to start out with a short video that offered only brief highlights of our Costa Rican trip. I made a similar video for when we went to Portugal, in 2022. The hope was to get people to subscribe to my channel so that when I had a new video, they'd be notified.
I'm hoping that happens with my latest video. Have a look.
If you haven't yet subscribed to my YouTube channel, please consider doing so. The more people who subscribe, the more motivated I am to make more videos.
Happy Monday!
