Be resolved in this COVID 19 and I am learning DaVinci Resolve


 It has been quite a while since I wrote my last blog and how the world has change!

While I was busy developing learning Python and continue my project of Share Analysis, I have also took the opportunity of joining various free online courses (from datacamp, Edx and Skillshare) and downloaded many free textbooks (from Spinger). This help me from getting myself busy instead of being affected by the despair aviation environment.  It impacted me as I was from the aviation world and you cannot help feeling sad about this whole matter. It also affected me as I cannot fly which I usually do.

A good thing I had always wanted to learn is to do photo and video editing.  Somehow I am always awed by the video effects people produced in their videos.  That day I downloaded DaVinci Resolve, a free video editor and is busy learning it.  After three hours, I managed to put music into three short video clips and make a scrolling credits. Nothing to shout about but I felt an achievement.

The next step I am going to learn about video basics. I have just read about frame rates. As an electronic engineer, I know frame rates from an engineer perspective. A higher frame rate means more memory required, more processing power and together with good resolution,  it should provide a better video. How wrong am I? It turns out that our human eyes cannot capture a lot of information in real life .  "When we see motion, such as a person throwing a ball or a car driving by, we naturally see a certain amount of motion blur. Ideally, the frame rate you choose will mimic this motion blur, keeping the experience as realistic as possible. If you choose a frame rate that’s too high, things will start to look unnatural and the video will suffer from what’s called the “soap opera effect.” Essentially, the video actually shows too much detail, which makes the video look unnatural. On the other hand, if you choose a frame rate that’s too low, the video will start to look choppy and will provide a poor experience." (https://www.techsmith.com/blog/frame-rate-beginners-guide/).

Obviously I have still much to learn. The next thing to post something into YouTube......
