This is great video , shows the true challenges of the hike. The water crossing looks cold I am the bare feet guy, I take my boots off. It was a great hike, awesome wilderness that keeps changing.

I enjoyed your review after watching the videos. It gave me a fantastic reference. It had meaning to me. Thanks. I have an editing question. You are filming yourself talking and then you show clips of your video while you are talking. How do you do that? Can anybody help me?
@mountainsintomemories 2 күн бұрын
I’m using iMovie to edit, and this could be different with different software. There’s 2 options. The first, is to right click a clip and hit detach audio. Then you can drag the detached audio anywhere you want it. I’ve been doing this a lot in order to change scenes before the audio is done, it’s an easy way to shorten the video without loosing anything. Another option is to drag a clip on top of another. In this case you’ll get the audio from both clips. In some cases you’ll want to mute one or the other.
