yay! I'm glad you're finding it informative! Once you get into the kinds of stories you can tell visually, it becomes pretty fun. (I think anyway, lol!) From one musician to another, it might be a fun exercise to create a visual song - as in, make a silent film, and create a short montage out of pictures, video, and movement. You may be surprised in how you end up "hearing" what you see! In a few weeks I'll actually muse a bit on how I think musical composition and editing are coming from the same part of the brain...

...and yeah, Youtube has been having compression glitches which they've actually acknowledged over the past week. Hopefully they fix it soon - I still can't for the life of me get dTube to work, and honestly I'm not a huge fan of Vimeo :/ blargh!
