Nine Courses to Learn Video Editing

i only have an 80 terrabite like radora. But if i want back through this last year of idios, that's a hundred terrabites at a footage. At no point during any of this did i ever take any classes in it. I took one college class because they had it. Do you halld, motion graphics? There's that many creative classes? Said stevens. He learned some after effects there. A, ye, a lot of people can take all nine courses to learn video editing. So i wouldn't be the best to answer this one. The whole asa, like cana at the end, is, don't do what we don

So again, although people like to have this narrative that somehow the FSB is taking over, they have ever since former FSB director Putin became president back in 1999-2000. That's not quite the case. Though, because the DVRK is still in the doghouse, after the Progogian mutiny, they may well be wanting to kind of hype their role. After all, again, they tried to spin that they had been on top of the mutiny. And indeed, they probably did help force Progogian to bring his timetable forward by a couple of days. You know, he seems likely to have planned to actually make his move, and particularly taking the city of Rostov Anton, which they did as their first move, when Defense Minister Shoyigu, in chief of the General Staff, Gerasimov, his two-bet noir, were actually going to be visiting Rostov. So he'd have the people that he once dismissed in his hand. As it was, he had to move a bit too soon, while the two of them were still in Moscow. So yes, that they may well have been a role, but you know, when it comes down to it, the DVRK should have been stopping the mutiny in the first place, not just likely messing with its plans. So I think there is a degree to which they're still trying to present themselves as being much more effective, much more useful than might be, and that's why they're sort of playing out their role. By the way, if you will excuse me a little commercial interlude. On the 13th of June, the book that I wrote with Anna Rutunyan on Progogian, I mean his life, not just Wagner and the mutiny and his pyrotechnic end, downfall Progogian Putin and the fight for the new future of Russia comes out certainly in the UK. Apparently in the United States, it only comes out in physical form in September for reasons beyond my kin. But anyway, it is coming out soon, and obviously I very much hope that you'll want to read it. There should be a sample from the audiobook in my own dulcet tones being sort of added to one of the podcasts in the future. But in the meantime, if you think you are going to read it, and why would you not want to? Advanced orders are really, really helpful. So whether it's at your local bookshop, and let me encourage you to preside, go to bricks and mortar stores, or whether we're talking about Amazon or the like. Advanced orders in many ways actually shape how many books these places buy in advance, and also what kind of prominence they give it. So it may make the difference between whether there are five copies sitting invitingly at a table at the front of a shop, or just one copy stuck in the shelf with a willingness to order another one if that one sells. So for purely self-interested reasons, if you think you're going to read it, why not order it in advance? So they think, gosh, there is such a ground swell of opinion. This is clearly one of the great best sellers of the future. Well, not quite that, but anyway, that's a slightly better seller than it might be. End of the commercial break. So it's not in my opinion a case of an FSB takeover. As I say, I mean, if nothing else, they don't really have a huge network of their own people inside the military to fit these new positions. So the next suggestion that has been raised is that this is a case of Putin punishing the military for their failures in 2022 and the overall failure of the initial invasion, putting aside the fact that, of course, actually it's pretty much entirely on Putin. I mean, the main sin of the military in this respect, I mean, there are many, many other sins involved in this invasion, but in this respect, the main sin was precisely people like Gerasimov, not actually being willing to stand up and say to the commander in chief, this is not going to work the way you think it's going to work. But anyway, if this was some kind of projection, because after all, you know, in a pseudo-monarchical system like this, even if the boss is the one who got it wrong, yes, of course someone else might get blamed. But anyway, but even if we assume this, I appreciate this notion that revenge is a dish best served cold. But two years plus on, I mean, this is not just cold, it's pretty stale too.
