So team keeping clean, we got some huge news with our Baltimore Ravens and it is regarding the running back position with so many of you have talked about over these past 24 hours because when it came out that the Jets were releasing Dalvin Cook from their roster. So many Ravens fans were like, oh, we should get them. We should pick them up. We should sign them. We should bring them on. And initially I was like, I don't know, man, shoot me. But a lot of people have changed my tune on that because when you think about the Baltimore Ravens, even look at Melvin Gordon right now. We saw him in that last game and a lot of people thought Melvin Gordon, oh yeah, he's done. He's watched. It's a wrap. And we saw him. You remember when he's hit that spin move? Yeah, I remember when he hit that spin move against the Dolphin the other day. It was nice. I said, okay, Melvin Gordon still got it. He's trying to show he still got it. And then in this week, 18 game against the Steelers, which I expect him to be the starter, I'm sure he'll show he'll still got it. But anyway, Dalvin Cook, what would the Baltimore Ravens do with a Dalvin Cook? Would they even be interested in a Dalvin Cook? Well, let's read the report from none other than Jocena Anderson. She said, we'll see tomorrow if running back Dalvin Cook clears waivers following his departure from the Jets. My understanding is one team that may have potential interest down the road on the practice squad is the Baltimore Ravens. Although they did not have a spot available this morning. So Jocena Anderson is saying like, hey, Ravens could possibly sign Dalvin Cook. And she said, say, down the road now. What type of down the road is this? Is this down the road, the short road that could be for the playoffs? Or is this down the road, a short road that could be next year? I would assume that she's talking about the right here and the right now. Because of the Baltimore Ravens, after losing JK Dobbins, after losing Keith Mitchell, after cutting Key and Drake. If they could, after everything that they done been through this year, get a Dalvin Cook and he be on a practice squad? He be a practice squad player for them? Oh, I think that would be a beautiful thing because that would give you even more quality, what? Depth. And you can never, ever have enough depth. And just imagine the situation for Dalvin Cook. Dalvin Cook could be thinking, man, I'm over here with these Jets. I signed a deal with the Jets. I signed a play with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. But I ain't getting no burn. I ain't getting no carries, man. We just keep losing and losing and losing. So to go from the Jets, to go to a Super Bowl contending team, you know, Dalvin Cook, he gotta be reading this report. Like, oh, please Ravens, come get me, please. So we'll continue to keep our eyes and our ears all over that. And I know that y'all will as well. But somebody else who y'all have kept your eyes and ears on and wondering what is his status is Kyle Hamilton. And Kyle Hamilton, he joined NFL yesterday. And shout out to my guy, Sam Najoku, because I just could not find where this was at all. Y'all make sure you all subscribe to his channel, Ravens Talk Podcast. We gotta bring him on very, very soon. But Kyle Hamilton, he was on the NFL and people have been wondering like, what is Kyle Hamilton's status? What's going on with him? I think he was limited in practice the other day. What is happening with our guy Super Duper Kyle, Mr. Hammy? Well, he said that he is feeling good and he is gonna be good for those playoffs. Now, you may think, yeah, of course, Kyle Hamilton will be good for the playoffs. Why wouldn't he be? But still, to hear that, to be reassured of that, that is big because we know how big Kyle Hamilton is for these Baltimore Ravens.   They just drafted him last year. And while he is a first round pick, still his impact has been tremendous and it started last year. Now, while he was on with NFL on Twitter Live, he was asked a question. He was asked how he's grown as a safety because the person that asked him the question, the interviewer said, he feels like Kyle Hamilton is the best safety, not on a team, but in the game, in the NFL. He said he feels like Kyle Hamilton is the best safety in the NFL. That's some high praise for the second year player.  But anyway, Kyle Hamilton, his response was by really calming down. He said that he lets the plays come to him instead of forcing them. And he also said that your game changes completely when that happens. And he also said he has a much bigger grasp of the playbook and kind of just knowing what you'll see before it happens. And he said, at first, some stuff may catch you by surprise the first time you see it, but after that, you get a better feel for it and you kind of see what's coming. So what Kyle Hamilton is basically saying is that he has been deep in that playbook. He has been deep in that film study.  That dude, Super Duper Kyle is Super Duper amazing and we love him. Now, Kyle Hamilton, he has been at a lot of people's top safety list and that list and whatnot, but he was on another list that talked about the lowest passer rating allowed by safeties with a minimum of 40 targets thrown their way. And guess who was number one atop that list? Going into week 18. It's Super Duper Kyle, it's Kyle Hamilton. Number one, well, Kyle Hamilton, he's not just a safety man. Kyle Hamilton is a straight up baller. That is his position. That's the position that he plays. He's a baller because he literally does everything.  He's a defensive tackle. He even lined up a defensive tackle this year. He literally does everything, man. And a player like him, their value is just, is through the roof because you can't box him into, yeah, he's a safety. That's what he is, a safety with quotation marks. So shout out to Super Duper Kyle, man. I know y'all probably tired of hearing us talk about how good Kyle, how great Kyle Hamilton is, but it has to be mentioned because he's liked that. And having him for the playoffs, it will make such a big difference. You see it, but one thing we gotta give credit to Mike McDonald, the Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator because for him to go up against a top offense like the Miami Dolphins, not to have Kyle Hamilton, to not have Marlon Humphrey to put him on the Georgia game, to not have Brandon Stevens to be losing players left and right, lost Michael Pierce, lost Darrell Worley, lost Arthur Millet for a little bit. For him to be losing people like that and have lost so many people before the game even started, but to hold that Dolphins team the way that he held them down. That says a lot about Mike McDonald. That says so much about the way that he adjusts. But now the fact that we're gonna get those guys back for the playoffs, Brandon Stevens will be back, Marlon Humphrey should be back, Kyle Hamilton will be back. That is such a beautiful thing and that gives you that much more confidence in these Baltimore Ravens come playoff time. Now, speaking of Kyle Hamilton, something that was funny. Well, I don't know if NFL, they were just trying to hype it up a little bit or whatnot but with Kyle Hamilton, they were like, oh, and this something that, I'm sure y'all seen it floating around. They're like, Kyle Hamilton, it's amazing. He remembers every single player that was drafted in front of him. And now we, of course, we know, I believe it's Amra St. Brown from the Lions. He's the infamous Y-R-E-C or to name all the receivers drafted in front of him. I don't think he can name all the players. Maybe it's all the players, whatever it is. But anyway, they're like, oh yeah, Kyle Hamilton, he can name every single player drafted in front of him. Oh boy, that's amazing. And they're like, he was drafted at 14 overall, man. So it ain't that many people. It's literally 13 people in front of Kyle Hamilton, man. So I just thought that was really funny, man. So, I just thought that was funny, man. But shout out to Kyle Hamilton. Now, some other news with Baltimore Ravens, with them having issues in the secondary as we know. Unfortunately, some guys were banged up. And then again, going into the Steelers game, I expect a lot of guys not to really play like that. They signed safety Jeremy Lucian to the practice squad. And Jeff Zubick highlights that they had an open spot after Laquan Treadwell got moved up to the active roster for the Miami game. So Jeremy Lucian takes that spot on the practice squad. And it says they also worked out running back, Tori Carter from LSU. So with them working out a running back, again, I wonder if that was, we should have took that as a sign, like, oh, maybe they will have some interest in a Dalvin Cook. So we'll see what happens with everything. This is very exciting times to be a Baltimore Ravens fan.  The Baltimore Ravens are right there. They know everything that's right in front of them. They know what they have to do. Now it's just a matter of doing it. It's a matter of making it happen. It's a matter of staying focused. The topic of conversation, we was on Bleacher Report earlier today, talking about it about the Baltimore Ravens potentially resting their starters or not. And a lot of people gave different reasons and different opinions on why they should or why they shouldn't. But again, I feel like in my opinion, I feel like the risk outweighs the reward because you don't want to be watching a game where the Ravens playing their starters against the Pittsburgh Steelers and then all of a sudden, oh, somebody got hurt in a meaningless game. Now, of course you want to beat the Steelers. You want to eliminate them from playoff contention. And now that would, I believe open up the door for the builds. But if you're playing in a game that's literally meaningless for you, whether you win, you lose, you're literally in the same exact position that you were before the game even started, I just don't think that it will be worth the risk. And I just do not want it to be a situation where the Baltimore Ravens they're looking and they end up having regret.


He is, quite simply, I think, the perfect amateur photographer and his approach to photography, I believe, is the antidote to the modern obsession with social validation. Amateur photography is dead. Or at least, that's what the title of a recent article I read on the website Amalsif boldly stated. The author claimed that amateur photography has ceased to be simply a record of us documenting our lives and the things that capture our enthusiasm created for the sole purpose of just saying, and this is me and who I am, and that rather over the past decade or so it has metamorphosed into a weird hybrid of professional photography where for most people they are selling themselves a sort of social currency, if you will. Why do we photograph professionals? Do it because it's their livelihood. And amateur photographers seem to have forgotten why, and that's the real issue. Amateur photography isn't dead, it just smells funny, and it's time to remember why we turned to photography in the first place, the pure joy of taking a photo for the sole purpose of just taking a photo. We're going to rediscover this joy that you had through the eyes of the most perfect amateur photographer of all time, Jacques Henley-Lautrigue. How's it? How's it? There's been a lot of interest shown in my own photography, and the truth is, at least for my personal photography, I don't really show very much of it online, I have a half-baked Instagram account which is primarily for my studio photography, I used to have a few images on Tumblr and outside of those things, not really much else online. In previous videos, and if you're interested in seeing them, and you haven't already I'll link for you at the end of the video, I put forth the idea that you should create photography that pleases yourself first and foremost. And in this video, we're going to explore why we are creating those images to start with. What is their purpose? Have they gotten one at all? Are we required to promote our photography across as many platforms as possible in the modern world in pursuit of likes? When you be a successful photographer, if no one ever sees your photographs, I want to reset your passion and reconnect you to why you first picked up a camera, and I thought the best person to help me with this is Jacques Henley-Lautrigue, a French photographer who started taking photographs as a young child in the early years of the 20th century. Now if you look up amateur photographers in addiction, you're going to see a picture of Lautrigue. He is quite simply, I believe, the perfect amateur photographer and his approach to photography I believe is the antidote to the modern obsession with social validation. Lautrigue was given his first camera at the age of seven and naturally as a young boy, he photographs the things that interest him.  There's no greater purpose to his photographs than simply pointing the camera, tripping the shutter and in his own words capturing the most endearing moments of his life. Now I'm sure a lot of us can understand and empathise with this vibe of things, you know this magical box in our hands that through some mystical process has created an image and once that image was taken without thought of how it may be used later on to stroke our egos or to gain us fame, we moved on to the next image and the next and the next and the next. The process itself was enough to keep us enthralled. This is where we need to be again as amateur photographers in this place of wonder where we care less. In fact we don't care at all about where this photograph may end up and just give ourselves over to the moment. There's too much emphasis in the modern world at least as far as I'm concerned on this idea that somehow we are owed something in return for being creative, that that photograph over there, that one on the frame next to us, got so many more likes and yet my photograph is far better and therefore far deserving of more praise. You know a great person once said that comparison is the thief of joy and I believe that has never been more true than the world of online photo one-upmanship.  Despite the fact that I used the word family these weren't he said family albums but rather they were himself in picture form you know the album was him and everything he loved and everything that interested LaTriegue he was the album and the album was LaTriegue. The photographs were taken they were developed lovingly printed and carefully placed in the albums and then well nothing really he just put them in an album and like that was it. If LaTriegue didn't do anything with his photographs then why did he take them in the first place? I'm a big fan of cooking analogies and photography and rather happily LaTriegue has used the cooking analogy to explain why he took photographs. He said cooks pick cherries to make jam and to eat the jam. He said I am a cook who likes to pick cherries make the jam but I like to eat fresh fruit. When pressed about the point of making jam at all LaTriegue said that first he used to pretend that he'd taken a photograph of something he enjoyed but the process wasn't quite the same and besides he hated seeing all of those cherries go to waste. Such a simple concept nothing grand or attention seeking no worry about how this image or the next is going to be received just his own eyes roaming unhindered and seeking the next cherry to photograph. We are all more than able of becoming the photographers we feel we are capable of being. The basic skills that will help us get us started though the real key to unlocking that potential is understanding why we feel this urge to create photographs in the first place. At the end of this video I'll put up two playlists for you to enjoy. One is about great photographers like LaTriegue who can teach us so much about being photographers and the other is devoted to helping you feel more relaxed and more comfortable about creating images in this noisy noisy world that is dominated by social media. They sound like you know the end of those choose your own adventure books where you have two choices well at the end of this this video you'll have two choices I know you're going to love both options. If there were no plans beyond this idea of picking cherries for LaTriegue's photography then how was it that somebody like Richard Avedon that legendary American photographer saw LaTriegue's work on display at the Museum of Modern Art in the mid 60s and wrote to Jacques Henry LaTriegue and said that it was one of the most moving experiences of his life and that the photographs on display had brought me into LaTriegue's world and said after all isn't that the purpose of art. Much like Vivien Mayer in the mid 2010s LaTriegue's photography was only really discovered in his later life you know when he was age 69 an agent happened to come across one of his albums I'm not sure exactly the chain of events but LaTriegue spent his life as a working painter it's quite possible that he had some sort of connection there and there was a happy coincidence that this this agent happened to see some of these work of personal photographs and it set forth a chain of events that led to this moment show and LaTriegue's exposure in Life magazine. Despite because of this LaTriegue having some commercial work and doing commercial jobs for people he remained ever much the amateur and he continued to be humble and modest about his photography creating work simply for the love of creating it. When pressed about why one of his most famous photographs was considered to be great he simply said for that you must ask the collectors for this photograph next to it is equally as good. I think it would be missing the point here to say that ultimately your goal is to become famous and well known and just just be humble in the meantime and make your work in secret and play for luck to turn our head our way. Now neither Mayor LaTriegue or countless others whom fortune didn't fancy I think Harvard any desire to be a famous photographer they simply created their photography with a goal just to create photography. LaTriegue's photography isn't successful because it was exhibited at MoMA or moved Richard Avid and to write a letter it's successful because he approached it like an amateur an amateur in the truest sense of the word he created his photography for the love of the process and it's this legacy that he has left with us within his photographs it always feels like it's springtime a European springtime but a springtime nevertheless you're looking at his images we can put ourselves in his shoes to feel what he felt to experience the world as he did the album is LaTriegue and LaTriegue is the album. Now your photography before anything else should be created from this state of mind in this place of being no goal beyond doing something for you if no other person other than yourself ever sees your photography so long as the act of taking a photograph of recording it makes you happy then your photography will be a success. The amateur photographer isn't dead rather they well we for although technically I'm a kind of professional but at heart I'm still very much an amateur just we've simply lost our way a bit despite having the platforms available to us to show off our photography far and wide we don't have to there's nothing wrong with not showing your photography off to the whole world if you don't want to. LaTriegue's photography is wonderful because it wasn't created for you it wasn't created for me or anybody else but the photographer he was unquestionably talented he was enthusiastic and extremely prolific but first and foremost though he was an amateur the photography is genuine I want you to be an amateur for as long as you can learn improve evolve but do so for yourself not as some method of getting likes from people who don't know you and don't really care about you. I mentioned earlier those two choices well click on the playlist you can see up on the screen the top one is about learning to see photographically and the bottom one features more great photographers for you to discover and learn from. Thanks ever so much for being here today and I look forward again to seeing you soon.


Hey everybody! Welcome to the Wallach Way. I'm Jessica and today's video is going to be our fall homeschool plans for the 2022-2023 homeschool year. You guys, I cannot believe I'm homeschooling a fifth grader this year. That is so surreal to me but I'm very excited about all of the really awesome materials we're going to be using in the study we're going to be doing this fall in our homeschool. Now when I say that this is what we're going to be doing for fall in our homeschool I'm referring to the months September October and November. I have found over the years that our homeschool has kind of a natural ebb and flow and I have learned to just plan for that. So it seems like in the fall and the spring we are a little more heavy on academics, we're over the holidays, and in the summer we're a little more relaxed and so I just try to plan kind of to the season of our lives. So for fall for September October and November this is what we're going to be using. Keep in mind this is the plan and obviously things are subject to change. This is just what I'm hoping that we'll do and what me and Emily have sat down and discussed that she would like to do. The main resource that we'll be using for the fall is Greek Heroes and Myths. This is going to be covering a ton for us this year because we will be reading all five of the Percy Jackson books and included in Greek Heroes and Myths is comprehension questions, writing projects, language skills that cover figurative language as well as parts of speech and we will be learning history and geography along with like Greek mythology and where Percy's traveling during the books. So it is a little bit of everything. We will be doing a ton of subjects and skills and concepts within just this one unit study.  In addition to Greek Heroes and Myths, Emily will continue to work on her Curse of Handwriting with handwriting without tears. We will also continue to incorporate fun things like mail time and journaling into our home school. Those have both become really near and dear to our hearts. We love sitting down and having that time to connect together and I kind of love the outcome of them. So when we're doing our mail time, we're reading our subscription letters together and then we're writing letters to friends and family. That might be birthday cards, it might be get well cards, it may be just a friendly letter, but either way it's a way to encourage and connect with the people around us and that is so important in this busy day and age. And journaling is kind of the same thing. We're sitting down and we're writing some of our favorite memories. We're putting stickers in together, we're practicing real world personal writing, but we are also really, really scrapbooking those memories and I cannot wait to look at them years from now. I absolutely love it. I feel like both of those things are academic, but they're also so much more than that. We will also be utilizing it too of our favorite programs that we've been using for years here at the Waldeck Way and that'll be night zookeeper and teaching textbooks. I love that both of these are easy for Emily to do 100% without me. So they're great for days that I'm not feeling well, that I'm busy or that we're on the go. So I don't have to bring a lot of resources with us. It means we can get writing and math done pretty much no matter what. And we will be also including tons of extra stuff pretty much in all subjects. If you watched our back to school hall, you know that, well, I bought it all. So we will be using those hands-on resources, the books, and the games to really round out and enrich our homeschool and make sure that we're covering all of the skills and concepts that I want her to cover in a fun, interactive, and engaging way. Now for classes this semester, Emily is going to be participating in a book club with Mary Hannah Wilson on out school. She's actually participating in two book clubs this semester. She will be doing her eight to 10 year old fiction club as well as her 11 to 13 year old fiction book club. Emily was kind of in between and was sad to see that some of her friends moved up in the age group and wanted to move up with them, but she also didn't want to leave the friends that were staying. So basically, we ended up with two. So I have the books that they will be reading this semester. Again, this is September, October, and November. So for those months, they will be reading and then doing a book club on Frendle, Juliette, and the Diamond of Enigma because of Wendixie, The Wednesday Wars, When You Reach Me, Orphan XI, and The Wings of Fire. Now I have not decided which of these yet that I will read aloud versus which one she will read. Basically, my distinction for that is and always will be if I want to read them. So if I want to enjoy the story, then I will just read it aloud so that I get to participate. And if I'm like, eh, I'm okay, then I will just have her read it without me. So again, I don't know which of these I will read aloud versus which one she will be reading. I just know that they will all be read during this semester of our home school. In addition to book clubs, she'll also be taking her beloved Lego class with Miss Bethany that is Interactive Bricks. I'm going to link all of this stuff in the description box, you guys, so you don't have to try to remember it. She absolutely loves those classes, though. She gets inspired to build. She gets to show off her build, so she's going to continue to take those. And then we are going to be trying out two in-person classes this year. I will let you guys know if we continue to do them. One of which is an art class, so it meets two to three times a month. And basically during the art class, they would learn about a specific artist and then recreate some sort of art masterpiece inspired by them. And then the other one are zoo classes. I was going to say our local zoo, but you guys, we live in the middle of nowhere. Nothing is local to us. The most local zoo we have is over an hour away, but they do home school zoo classes once a month. And so Emily has already gone through and put little check marks by the ones she wants to do the most, which, well, is pretty much all of them. So we're going to do one and see how it goes, see if she likes it, see if it's worth the drive, and then we will go from there as far as that goes. And then subscriptions. You guys know that we absolutely love subscriptions. We love our letters, but I'm going to share with you the box subscriptions that we're going to be continuing to get through the fall. Sometimes our subscription boxes change, sometimes they stay the same. This is pretty much our staple subscriptions. And then we just added a new one. So the subscriptions that we will be utilizing in the fall are Mel chemistry. This is one that Kevin and Emily absolutely love. They do a STEM lesson once a week, at least once a week, sometimes more. And these are some of the boxes they use for that. This is Mel physics. And then they actually upgraded this year from the Tinker crate with Kiwi Co to the Eureka crate. Now, Eureka crate is supposed to be for 14 plus. Obviously Emily's only 10, but they like doing it together. And so since she has Kevin's help, they'll be upgrading to the higher quality and older age range box. Emily's personal favorite is her my zoo box. That comes with a book and a stuffed animal and an activity. I think her favorite part is the stuffed animal, if we're being honest, but it's okay. She gets to learn about a new animal each month and she gets a new stuffed animal to add to her already giant, overflowing stuffed animal beanbag. In addition to my zoo box, my personal favorite is our universal yums. We get snacks from a new country every month. It's one of our family favorite activities to do to sit down and eat the snacks together. We find it on the map. We listen to the playlist of the music that they've chosen. We laugh, we make horrible faces that some of the snacks we don't like. It is a all around awesome family night that happens to teach a ton of geography in the process. They include trivia questions. It is just absolutely really one of our favorites. It's probably the subscription box that we've had the absolute longest. And then the new box that we are adding this year is history unboxed. We decided to start at the beginning. So we are starting with the ancient subscription. They have ancient medieval and American history. So you could get the history subscription that went along with maybe what you were already learning in your home school. Since we were doing Greek mythology, we figured ancients would tie in really well with that. And it's just kind of fun hands-on projects that have to do with that specific time period. So we're trying that one out. If you would like to see inside one of those boxes, let me know down in the comments and I will see about filming a look inside for you so you can kind of see what's in it. But that is pretty much it. Now I would love it if you would tell me what your fall home school plans are in the comments. Have you already started back to school? Are you like me and you're holding on to summer with all of your might and not starting until later? Or have you just been like I'm in total summer mode and I don't even know what I'm doing for our home school year yet? Either way, I would love to know.


All right, so before we even open Premiere Pro, we're gonna wanna create a set of organized folders. You're gonna wanna do this so that nothing gets lost or corrupted when you're editing. It's also important to know where your stuff is being saved so you do not lose any of your exports or project files. First, we'll go ahead and create a main folder with our project name. Inside of this main folder, we're gonna create a set of subfolders that include our footage, audio, graphics, project files and exports. Okay, now that we've created the set of folders, we're able to get started with Premiere. First, we're gonna name our project. We're just gonna name it the same thing we named our main folder. Save our project to the file folders that we just made. With our project created, we can now start importing media. And there are a couple of ways we can do this. The first way is by dragging, dropping files directly into the workplace. You can also go to the file menu and choose import and then navigate to the location of your muted files and then select them. And then once our files are imported, we can organize them once again through the use of bins. And bins are really important because they allow you to add another layer of organization in your Premiere project. All right, so now that we're fully set up, we can begin editing. To start, we'll create a new sequence. And to do this, we'll drop our media into the timeline panel. And from here on out, it is important to save regularly.  Premiere does auto-save, but it's important that you keep saving while you're editing, just because auto-save doesn't always catch everything that you do. Okay, so now that we have all of our media in Premiere Pro, we can begin going over the different panels that are in the software. We'll start with the timeline panel. This is where you can edit, arrange and sequence your media. Like I said, you can drag clips in the project panel into the timeline to start editing. You'll most likely spend a bulk of your time in this section. The source panel displays the selected clip or sequence in the project panel. You can use this panel to preview clips before you add them to the timeline. And you can also trim clips before adding them to the timeline, which is very helpful. But the program panel displays your sequence as you edit it in the timeline. You can use this panel to preview your video before you export it. There are many tools in Premiere Pro, and it's easy to get confused with what they all do, but we'll give a basic rundown of what each of them do, and so you'll have a better idea of how to use them in your projects. The selection tool is used to select and move clips in the timeline. You can click and drag a clip to move it in a different position or just its duration. The selection tool can also be used to select multiple clips at once. The razor tool allows you to cut clips into smaller segments. You can use this tool to split a clip into two parts or to remove a portion of the clip by making a cut and then deleting them along its section. The hand tool is used to scroll and navigate the timeline. You can use the tool to move the view of the timeline left or right, up or down. You can also use it to zoom in or out. The pen tool is used to create keyframes in the timeline. Keyframes are used to adjust properties of a clip, such as its opacity, scale, or position. I will not be going into everything you can do with keyframes. Basically, think of it as a kind of animation you can do with different effects. The type tool allows you to add text to your video project. You can use the type tool to create titles, captions, or other text overlays. You can also customize the font size and color of the text. Okay, so the zoom tool is used to adjust the zoom level of the timeline, and you can use this to zoom in or out on your timeline or to adjust the level of specific clip or sequence. Crop tool is used to adjust the framing of a clip, pretty self-explanatory. You can use the crop tool to crop the edges of a clip or just to adjust the aspect ratio. Premiere Pro also offers a range of audio tools, such as the volume, pen controls, and the audio mixer panel. You can use these tools to adjust the volume and position of audio tracks, as well as add effects and filters to each audio clip. The effects panel allows you to add visual effects to your clips, such as color correction, transitions, and special effects. You can select an effect on the panel and then apply it to a clip in the timeline. You can also adjust the settings of the effect to customize its appearance. All right, so that's basically it for the tool section of Premiere Pro. Now we're gonna get into some timeline editing. So like I said, the timeline panel is where you assemble your video project. This is where you drag and drop your video and audio clips from the project panel into the timeline. You can basically, the first thing you're gonna wanna know is how to cut. Cutting allows you to rearrange your clips and cut out unwanted parts of it. For this, you'll be using primarily the razor tool to cut your clips into smaller segments. Okay, to add an effect to your clip, such as different cross dissolves, wipes, fades, and different audio effects, such as constant gain transitions, you're gonna want to select the clip in the timeline panel and click the effects panel and then browse for your desired effect. Right now it's gonna use the cross dissolve and then you're gonna drag and drop that on top of your clip to create a seamless transition. You can also create custom effects by using Premiere Pro's built-in tools, such as the pen tool, motion controls, or key framing. For example, you can create different animations with your clips by changing different key frame settings, such as the scale and position. Once you're done cutting and adding effects and transitions, you can preview using the playback controls in the timeline panel. You can also use the program monitor to preview your project in full screen mode or to check the final output before exporting. So that's the basic rundown for the timeline panel. Now we're going into some audio editing techniques. One of the most basic audio editing techniques in Premiere Pro is adjusting the volume levels of certain audio clips. You can adjust the overall volume of the clip using the audio mixer panel or by using the audio track mixer in the timeline panel.  Another important audio editing technique is removing certain noises from clips. There are a few ways you can do this.  This is a pretty simple way to do it, although it's not affected all of the time. You can also use different audio effects and filters to enhance your sound quality and add a creative flair. There are a few effects you can do this with, such as EQ, reverb, and compression, which you can apply to a clip to adjust its tonal balance and spatial characteristics. You can access these effects by selecting a clip in the timeline panel and then opening the effect controls panel. On top of that, there are some more in-depth effects such as the parametric equalizer, which allows you to take certain frequencies and adjust them and manipulate them to create a specific sound you want. This is very useful for audio restoration. Okay, so now that we've gone over the audio editing side of things, we're gonna move on to titles and graphics. Okay, to find your titles and graphics, you're gonna open the essential graphics panel. Here you have a variety of different graphics you can use that are pre-made, and you can simply create your own by clicking on an effect you would like. Right now we're just gonna use the basic lower third, and then you're gonna wanna drag and drop that over your clip, and from here you can adjust the text, font color, size, and position of the title. You can also add different effects to your titles and graphics, such as different fades, and you can also do, again, animations with keyframes. All right, so now that we've covered most of the basics, we can get into some of the more advanced Premiere Pro editing techniques, such as multi-camera editing. So this is possible in Premiere. All you need to do is drag and drop all of your different angles into the timeline, and then select all clips, right-click, and press synchronize. This will synchronize your clips through the use of the audio that is on each of the angles. You wanna make sure each angle has audio so that it is able to be synced together. You're also able to adjust the speed of each clip by right-clicking and going to speed slash duration, and from here you're able to change the speed and duration of your clip. You're also able to reverse the speed and if you're trying to make slow motion video, you can maintain the same audio pitch while slowing down the clip. Premiere also allows you to do some color grading. You can do this by navigating to the Lumetri Color panel, and from here you can change a variety of settings, such as the temperature of a clip, the tint, the saturation, and different light settings. That is the basic correction. You can get into some more creative stuff with the faded film, sharpening, and then changing the shadow. They can get pretty in-depth pretty quickly when you're color grading in Premiere.  From here you can customize the export settings by adjusting the video and audio settings, such as the codec, resolution, frame rate, and audio bit rate, and you can also add captions and other effects to your exported video. There's a wide range of different popular presets for platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo, as well as Facebook. Once you've customized the export settings, you're gonna wanna choose the location to save the exported file to.  You can also choose to export multiple clips or sequences in batch by selecting the Q button, and then you're gonna wanna click the export button to start the export process. And then Premiere Pro will render an export video based on the settings you have chosen. So it could take longer if you're using 4K footage versus 720p. All right, so those are the basics of Adobe Premiere Pro.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Narc Survival YouTube channel. In this one I'm going to be talking about what narcissists hate most about you. Before I begin please give this video a thumbs up down below as it helps the YouTube algorithm to get this very important message out there. What narcissists hate most about you? It should be no surprise to you to learn that narcissists hate you. They engage in hostile behavior. They're unfriendly, oppositional and resistant. And yet there is this continued presence. They keep coming after you and they do not stop. Which is the definition of an internet troll or a hater. They do things deliberately to bait you. They deliberately provoke arguments and emotional reactions. But they may often say things they don't even believe just to cause drama or to manipulate your perception. And they may also encourage mob mentality. But they urge other people to join in the attack. And it's because they're envious of you. Which is why they're often so competitive. Because they feel insecure just by being in your presence. So they have to manipulate you or try to bring you down. So that they can feel comfortable around you. Which is really pathetic. But it's what they have to do because they have such low self-esteem. They feel like they're not good enough for you. But deep down, even though they will never tell you this, they actually admire and respect a lot of what you're doing. Which is why they keep coming around you. It's why they're drawn to you because you have something special. But it's making them feel insecure. So now they want to stamp it out. They want to destroy it. Or they want to get you to focus your attention on something else. So then they don't have to feel so bad when they're around you. Because if it was a level playing field and you knew exactly who you are when you're interacting with them, they would feel very insecure. Which is why the first thing they have to do is to get you to doubt your own qualities and abilities so that they can feel more comfortable around you. But although they do hate you, there is actually a thin line between love and hatred. The emotions of love and hatred can be closely linked. Because you can't really hate someone unless you really love them once.  Because these emotions require a lot of time, energy and thought. The narcissist may hate you a lot. And you will know if they hate you because it will include a desire to harm, devalue or to exclude you from something. Which is very different to simply disliking someone. When we dislike someone it may just be a personal preference or a difference of opinion. But hatred is so much more. And what they hate most about you is how you make them feel about themselves. So they don't really hate you. They hate themselves and their own feelings. They feel like they're not good enough for you. And as strange as this may sound, they actually desire nothing more than to be loved by you. They're seeking a sense of belonging. A feeling of security and support. Whether it is a sense of acceptance, inclusion and identity. And you may be thinking that you already tried to provide that to them on so many occasions. But it didn't seem that way to them. Many of you are highly sensitive. You experience abuse and childhood and it caused you to become distrustful of people. When you develop the sense of aversion or empathy. When you are naturally and habitually inclined to avoid or turn away. And you may not have said anything to them. But narcissists are always scanning the environment for threats. They're studying your facial expressions, body language and tone of voice. So they can pick up on avoidance immediately. They know when you're pulling away. And they assume that it has something to do with them. It triggers them and it makes them feel insignificant. As though they're not good enough. And that is when the evaluation phase begins. It is always initiated by the target. Narcissists don't initiate anything. They're constantly in reaction mode. They're responding to however you're perceiving them. So they end up hating you because they assume that you don't approve of them. And in some situations they may be right. Maybe you do disapprove of some of the things they said or did. Even though it may not have been that big of a deal to you at the time. But narcissists have a blackaway mentality. So once they sense any signs of disapproval they overreact. And they're ready to jump ship.    Like they're no good. So then it becomes a competition where they have to prove to you that they're better than you thought. And it's typically by discarding you and strangling you with their new supply. Because once you've made them feel inferior they've really got it in for you after that. So there isn't much you can do. You can't win them over. Because from that point on they're always going to view you as the enemy or opponent. As this person who is deliberately trying to make them feel like they're nothing. Even though you may never have intended to make them feel that way. But that's how they feel. They feel a lot of shame and it's because of your success. Because you look better than they do. Because you're always happy and full of energy and enthusiasm. You're very lively and cheerful and you talk a lot. You're fun, charismatic and outgoing. But they're nothing like that. Although they secretly wish that they were. They envy you so it brings them a lot of shame. It makes them feel humiliated and distressed. As though they're bad or foolish. So now they can't stand you. Because they're shame based people who are doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame. But every time they see you you are triggering them to reflect on their shame. And it's not only the shame that they feel from feeling inferior to you. It's also built up from their other past failures and mistakes. Which are then resurfacing in that moment. And you're not even doing anything wrong. You're just being your authentic self. You're not intended to hurt them. Maybe you have a good job. Or you just started a business. And you're just trying to make a life for yourself. But that triggers them to reflect on their shame. So now they hate you for that. But they won't let you go. Because now they need to use you as a vessel. To hold all of their negative energy. Which is why you're wasting your time showing your vulnerable side to them.  Because it's just reminding them that something is wrong with them. And there is no amount of love or compassion that will fix them. Because they are not like us. So they will only continue to deceive you while denying their wrongdoing. Thank you for watching up until this point. And if this video is helpful to you please do give it a thumbs up down below. Thank you. But yet at this point in the relationship they will develop a lot of sexual frustration. Because if there is one thing that narcissists do not like. It's intimacy and affection. They hate closeness and togetherness. It makes them feel sick. Which is why they prefer to watch pornography or have one night stands. Because they can't be close with anyone who really knows them. They do anyone who gives them praise and attention. But if you know who they really are.   So they have to replace you with other people who are fake. And just like themselves. Although even those people are only temporary.   Because you are no longer given them supply. And it's a threat to the preservation of their false self. And just the idea of being intimate with someone who knows them. Really disgust them. They want a fantasy. They hate intimacy and affection.   Because they have to depend on their manipulation to secure their targets. That's really all that they have. Because they can't be vulnerable. There's nothing inside of them. And they already feel like you have rejected them. So they hate you for how you make them feel about themselves. And this is why they don't celebrate your success. And they just try to avoid talking about it. Or they act as though it's not important. Whatever they treat as though it's beneath their consideration. Is usually what is bothering them the most. And that is why they don't want to talk about it. Because it's irritating them and it's making them feel inadequate. Which is why nothing you do is ever enough. And if you start doing less then they will start criticising you for that. There is no winning with a narcissist. Especially once you've made them feel like you disapprove of them. Or you've rejected them. There is no going back after that.  Even though you may be doing better than them.  I'm not really religious. But I was born a Christian. And I do believe that we can find positive teachings in every religious book. So I would just like to finish with this. In the Bible. Mark chapter 6 verse 4. Jesus said prophets are honoured by everyone. Except the people of their hometown. And their relatives and their own family. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful.
