Editing computer
I am finding my MacBook Air. Just ain’t keeping up with all the video files and doesn’t have the power to keep up. What type of laptop would y’all recommend? Would like to stay with the Apple operating system TIA

@Ken King , there is a way to configure the MacMini for "headless" operation .. meaning no external monitor, then use the iPad to attach to it. I found a few threads.. so will work through it. Not a high priority, just something I want to figure out. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254724986

@Tim Kampmann Well.. I totally blew it and forgot to do the "unboxing" video. I have been running the new Mac Mini for a several months now. LOVE IT. I again cranked out a few b-day videos with 120+ images, this time did some image overlays on music video, etc. Works like a champ! I did "transport" it once, as I got it when in FL . .worked there a month or more and then brought it back up north. Fits nicely in the suitcase with my iPad. Well, and this trip a mac book pro and a Dell.. LOL..
Screen Recording.. NOPE
Hey Trevor, just watched your https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guRsZUv1XcY capCut screen recording.. Great help... However, when I upgraded, it hopped to 5.7.0-beta7 .. and no screen record option.. :(

@John Wallencheck It would be nice to cut out a license. I have used Camtasia for screen casting for years. Used to do a fair amount of training / how to snippets for work.
Does anyone use OBS Studio?
I've decided that I want to do some livestreams. I'm thinking one per week, like on Friday evenings. My first one did't go all that well because I a) Didn't announce it soon enough and b) didn't know OBS well enough to realize I wasn't seeing a "submit" button that needed clicking. About 20 minutes late I decided that I should just go stream with YouTube and have only the one camera running. I have figured out how to actually start a broadcast now, but I'm still having some issues with audio. I'm not quite clear on a few things, so I'm wondering if one (or more) of you guys are OBS gurus.

I am such a guru .. I had to GTS OBS! I had no idea what they heck ya'll were talking about! LOL. Hmm. So where CapCut is post editing.. OBS is like the control room? "live" switching and transitions between cameras, inserting pre-recorded content into live stream, etc?

@Ken King Hmm.. Free room and board in the PR for a few months? LOL.. Best wishes!
New video
I posted a new video a few days ago. Didn't realize the audio was a bit messed up until I already uploaded it. Was going to delete it and redo it but it took off right out of the gate. Got great retention, comments, etc. Once it got to 710 views for some reason the retention dropped significantly and I stopped getting any impressions. Anyways, here it is. https://youtu.be/CcGWSRK-Z74?si=cVzrpVwVN9bfB0vv

Good video.. good pace.. good humor .. I subscribe to David Allen's Getting Things Done approach.. tweaked it a bit.. and have called it GSD (Getting Sh*t Done) for years! Really appreciate the message! Thanks!
Question about Layers
OK, generally, I get the purpose of layers. And I get that sometimes I want to hide them and the associated assets during editing.. etc. My question is.. are there any advantages / disadvantages of keeping stickers on different layers? Here is an image of my timeline. The stickers kind of just went to whatever layer they wanted when I was adding them. Seems to be no harm in leaving them, other than getting layer heavy. Thoughts?
