How To Do Some Basic Video Editing

By Will Jay On In Fun Stuff, Tech Tips

A worm burrowed its way into my brain a couple of days ago, after I watched a video of Jay Leno and Bob Riggle flipping a modded Plymouth Barracuda (for those concerned, no one was hurt). The footage of the flip was played up to the point of being funny to me and, being the guy I am and not knowing what else to write about, I decided it might be fun to play it up a bit more.

I’m not much of a video editor, but I’ll occasionally use a program called Openshot to make basic modifications to a video or export it in a different format. In this case, I grabbed the video off Youtube, dropped it into a new project, and then dragged it down to the first track. This makes the video appear in the preview, where you can play it to the point where you want to edit. You can also drag the red indicator around on the timeline or use the arrow keys on your keyboard for more granular movement through the video.

So often they’re offering very cheap leasing deals.

The Tesla Cybertruck has been one of the most anticipated and talked-about vehicles in recent years, boasting futuristic design and advanced technology. Its unique angular shape and stainless-steel exoskeleton set it apart from traditional trucks, promising superior durability and performance. With impressive features such as bulletproof glass, a 500-mile range, and a towing capacity of over 14,000 pounds, the Cybertruck has captured the imagination of tech enthusiasts and environmentalists alike. However, as the release date approaches, several concerns and issues have begun to surface, raising questions about its practicality and safety.

Mac OS Sequoia

By Sean Christopher On In Tech Tips

Before you know it, fall will be here. You know what that means? A new Mac OS for your computer! I wanted to write this because, selfishly, it gave me a reason to learn about the new OS. I’ll share a list of new features that Mac OS Sequoia brings. Most of the features are already on Sonoma, but as you’ll see below, Apple is really leaning into AI.
