Hey! Very detailed video! I like the large easy to read font and how it includes a thumbnail.

I know many video makers dislike talking in their videos, but I do find talking in my videos make them more digestable to the viewer than writing blocks of text. 

Here's a similar video talking about layout construction by Norm Charbonneau which you could take some inspiration from: 

Keep it up!

Funny I am in radio broadcasting. I will get to that with future videos.

Good first video, Chuck.

I second Tom's (tstage) comment - some of the text scrolled off the screen before I could read it all.

Suggestion for a video editor: DaVinci Resolve. Even the free version is very powerful. It can also be intimidating, but a couple of hours effort and you'll have the basics down. 

Looking forward to seeing more!

My daughters all use "Sony Vegas Pro" to edit their videos and tell me it is easy to use. Sorry if I got the name wrong.

Nice video. The editing of videos and the inclusion of captions is very useful and something that I have no idea how to do.

Which editor are you using?

An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel

Nice video on your layout build, Chuck.  My only suggestion: Increase the "on time" for the lengthier text so the entire text can be read.  I had to pause the video or go back in order to read some of them all the way through before they disappeared.

Working on that - Just getting use to the editor. Thanks
