    The fair, I did this in 2 minutes on my phone. Video editing isn’t too difficult once you have some knowledge and a giant stockpile of footage.

      Yeah, the tools are where I lack knowledge. Mostly just ignorance on my part for having not kept up to date. That, and finding good ones that work well on Linux.

      The last time I reallydid any kind of video editing was in college when I was minoring in broadcast journalism. When I think of editing a video, my mind immediately goes to firing up Final Cut Pro or popping my S-VHS tape in the linear video editing machine.

      Ok, typing S-VHS just now made me feel like I’m a million years old 😆

        I do all my edits on Linux. I really recommend Shotcut and Kdenlive. If you are lucky, Davinci Resolve compile and run for you (it won’t for me because it is super picky about hardware).
