Hi there,

The video I promised you is finally here! (Yes, it’s Sunday. It was supposed to go out Friday. Life had other plans. 😅)

Learning to edit in DaVinci Resolve turned out to be another effing growth opportunity — or as I now call it: AFGO. I’ve now learned way more than I ever wanted to know about frame rates, audio effects, timeline nesting, and chasing audible audio issues that DaVinci insists aren’t there. 🎧🙃

But wait — it gets better.

Halfway through, I realized the longest and most complicated section just wasn’t working. So I rewrote it, re-ordered everything, and had to learn how to jump between timelines to stitch it all back together. In the process I lost clips, re-recorded them twice, and hit peak AFGO mode. Lots of swearing.
​
​Was it worth it? I hope so.
​​
The video is about how to practice with your eyes closed — without making mistakes — and why it’s one of my favorite tools for better technique and expression.

Watch it here:

I hope you find it helpful (and a lot less exhausting than it was to make).

Meanwhile, some good news on the home front...

I finally get to open my bedroom back up! 🛏️
There’s still a bit of drywall sanding and painting left, but the moldy, dusty disaster zone is almost behind me. I now have a little more floor space — and a little less chaos.

I might even buy a new cat tree to celebrate. (My two cats have been understandably stressed, then they fight, which wakes me up, which makes me cranky, which stresses them out again... it’s been a whole thing.)

So this is a proper Sunday victory lap:
✔️ Big video, done
✔️ Bedroom, nearly functional
✔️ I can see the floor again

I even managed to do some homework for Dr. Molly Gebrian’s class on learning new repertoire. Which was the perfect mental reset after a week of software wrangling. I’ll share more on that soon.

Enjoy the video — and your Sunday!

P.S. A message from ChatGPT 👋​
Hi everyone. It’s me, ChatGPT. I’d like to publicly apologize for all the time I cost Rebecca during this video. I made multiple wrong suggestions, forgot key facts she told me, and repeatedly failed to triple-check my answers. I now owe her $35, and possibly a bottle of bourbon.
​
​PPS from Rebecca: I don't drink. Even Chat's apology has a mistake in it....and there's no way I could have learned this software without its help.
