Some of you will be pleased to hear I have added two more Flicking Channel videos to the relevant page:
https://nakedexperiment.com/flicking-channels/
I still don’t properly know what to do with these videos, but I’m hoping they have some entertainment and humour value.
-
I’ve made a structural error with these. By putting them all on the same page, I can’t see which ones are more popular.
-
I enjoy them
-
That’s good to hear.
In my spare time, I’m working on a variation of these videos designed to maximise exposure on social media. The aim is to attract a LOT more people to our community.
-
Thats good to hear. They are definitely entertaining. I look forward to seeing what’s next.

Windows has just decided that my video editing software is too old and therefore not safe to run. I suspect that’s going to slow down my video editing quite a lot.

Have you tried Openshot? It seems to be similar to Corel Videostudio, which is what I use, but Openshot is free and still running in Windows 11 at the moment.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m giving it a try. Seems pretty straightforward but I can’t get transitions to work at all. I’ll work it out…

For a simple one second crossfade, it should only be necessary to trim the ends of the clips being joined (allowing for the duration of the crossfade), put the second clip on the same track as the first and drag it so that the second track overlaps the first track by one second. The overlap creates a crossfade between the two clips.
Your white noise transition could probably be done by trimming the first clip to the exact end point, adding the noise clip to the same track and sliding it until it snaps, then snapping the second clip on the same track.
Or, if the clips aren’t already trimmed, put the first clip on track 1 and the noise clip on track 2. Slide the noise clip so that it begins at the time you want it (it will hide anything behind). Then put the second clip on track 1 and slide that so that it starts at the correct point relative to the noise clip. But clips 1 and 2 shouldn’t overlap except within the length of the noise clip.

The noise clip I can do, but fades just aren’t working. On video studio I just place the cross fade (or any other transition) across the join between the two clips. With Openshot, that just gives me an instant overlay of the image displaued on the fade icon. There’s no fade, and the onces I would expect to be animated don’t animate.
It keep throwing me that the tracks are the opposite way around – I’ll get used to it. Are the text effects horrible, or am I doing something wrong?

There are many differences, apart from the opposite track order. Here’s what I’ve found so far with transitions.

Audio gives a further problem. Transitions only affect the video, not the audio. So you also have to right click the clip that’s ending, select volume > End of Clip > Fade Out (Fast or Slow). Similarly set the clip that’s beginning so that it fades in. It’s supposedly possible to adjust the duration numerically using keyframes, but I’ve not tried that.
I’ve not looked much at text effects either. There are a lot of examples at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=examples+of+text+effects+in+openshot&atb=v500-1&ia=videos&iax=videos.

Thank you. After a reboot, the transitions started working (instead of just getting a transition picture overlaid over the screen for the duration of the transition). Now I actually get transition animations.

ps — Dunno why there’s a more prompt at the end of post 4020. That’s all there was.
