Yer not a huge fan tbf, it's all a bit polyester for me, however I have not tried any of that brand for some years.

feel like a sex object
Can't say that's a bad thing at my age...

OOOh scrap all those horrible words I used to slam my dad's old lappy as video editing rig, I am currently splicing together my R7 5700x build & trying to make it funny with some voice overs with that logitech G400 headset I found that my over half had discarded... & omg this puppy Radeon R4 APU is amazingly fast, not crashed once, it might be a shotcut update or I figured the scrubbing settings, could be that DX trick you mentioned, but yes I just blitz through the pure rock fx2 unboxing in a hour (2 min intro) now I just got to figure sound management, equalizing etc. Happy days, oh & be a dear & watch it when its done lmao.

Last time it was two young women in a sports car. One shouted "Nice shorts!", the other shouted "Go on sweetheart!" while I was hauling a heavy trailer full of spring water I'd collected from a natural spring for my garden veg. I should have kept the video evidence.

Brilliant! Old computers are capable of much. Have you got a link?

If any women did that to me while I was wearing shorts they would soon shut up when they see my varicose vein, it's hideous. Misandry; now there's a word I had never heard of...

Sadly I only did the unboxing of the cooler, 1 hour to re-familiarise myself with shotcut, it's been a while & edited a 1 min part + I am new to adding audio tracks but that was fairly easy adding a noise reduction filter on my voice over & bumping the gain. I have a self imposed target of 1 week to complete the whole video, as soon as it's live I will pop a link up. Tbf editing was the part that was holding me back on posting stuff as the mere thought of editing on the Celeron or Celery as I like to call it, was a nightmare in itself. This was the main reason for filming my build to inspire me to try an edit a full video to fully test the laptop before I purchased a trackball for the desktop. I jerry-rigged a boom to achieve the neatest shot of the install that I could. I just need to film the end results and a mini intro.

Audio mastering is a huge subject. Fortunately anyone nowadays can teach themselves that and many other things using Youtube. For video audio I keep post processing very minimal, first removing unnecessary very low frequencies without mercy. I think one of the reasons why so many studio engineers rave about the otherwise awful Yamaha NS10 monitors, and why they're in so many professional studios, is because of this peak in frequencies, which can expose problems in the mid-range... important to do, because this range and above is what most speakers are capable of playing competently, and it's within that range where the majority of intelligible human vocal frequencies are. Most DAWs have spectrum analysers, and if not, there's Fabfilter (free) VST. LMMS is a free DAW which which people I know use.

No pressure then... I really can't learn, actually retain information, I was a learn by doing person, possible dyslectic but never tested and years of alcoholism probably hasn't helped much either. The more I try and learn the more I feel I was, as a 1980's child, undereducated with a predisposition to genetic illness and growing up in high pollution industrial town didn't help much either. Excuses most would say and I tend to agree, I prefer, a rebel without a cause.

I just used the noise gate filter, I wouldn't know were to start with all you mentioned.

But I soldier on, got most of the parts edited, it rained all day.

Next door is permanently pi$$ed off - both are medically classed as I can't say what. Even my bi-Denon amped 2 X 100W RMS Mission floorstanders would would trigger mayhem. Like you, I use Sennheiser HD600 headphones. TBH on the rare occasions when I do master, it's with spectrum analysers, bypassing all that expensive monitor speaker guesswork. Lately I've been trying to sound like Metallica (for a project with a local band - not because I like Metallica, or the local band).

my speakers use 60w each doing nothing flat out they suck 500w from the wall each my db meter goes to 130db but the last time i tried full power it like sitting in a bass bin but with no distortion but the house was falling apart and the sharp lcd tv was going nuts because the spl was so high and making it hard to even breath cos i have them in a bedroom so limited the max power on the back but i could push them even louder if i push the limits but then will clip with distortion :p

works with windows
It works with Windows at the moment :D I use assignable controls for various DAW functions using MIDI keyboards, which are far more likely to work with Windows in several years time, particularly as I don't currently intend to go higher than version 7.

I had an Atari STfm 520 - Carrier Command the days of early 3D - I did have a music program but the only track I had was prodigy out of space, I never did get into music on a deep understanding level.

Although after getting a dot-matrix printer to work with the Atari I caught the IT bug. The printer would sit there all day switched on but never worked & I would try the print function and switch it off when it didn't work, but one day I left it on and after about an hour it printed syntax and then the picture I was testing with, I had to do this process every time I wanted to print after it was switched off but once it had warmed up it printed anything in all it's dot matrix glory.

a lot of cabs will go into the right lane at a light (which is empty because there are parked cars just ahead of the light)
Should you not merge in turn instead of racing? Using all the road space helps ease congestion.

Anyhow
Do what's fun. I do. I stop when it stops being fun.
I am enjoying editing as it goes, a lot to keep track of, nearly at the final edit, trying to shorten it and keep it funny is proving hard, tbf I am going to sound like a bit of mad man.

Why fuss so much? I could have spent ages cutting around Ray Liotta's head and outputting each frame as PNGs with transparency, so that his head floated next to the car being forced onto the pavement, also could have mucked about endlessly with timing, more frames, more images, more text... but really, if it's not work you're going to get paid for, why bother? Just enjoy it, and if it makes you and others laugh or smile (at the very least), it'd be worth it.

It seems to be one of the ways they amuse themselves... It's also a way I amuse myself. Let the clutch out a bit, roll up, watch cabby roll up, clutch back in, roll back and watch cabby all confused. If you repeat it 3 or 4 times, you can have them halfway into the intersection by the time the light actually changes!

I think I have finished my video...

Editors/Directors notes -

Apologies for sound, the music doesn't go all through the video, just intro, a little in the middle and some at the end.

The voice audio in the middle, was a choice, either louder or less noise, I choose the later.
