@dyeballa04 Here's a wild thought, YOU make your own video then. She did a fine job conveying the information she needed to. And since you say YOU have a hard time figuring it out, perhaps you shouldn't be trying to tell an expert like she is how to do a video.

It was a good video.  It was concise and informative.

go Jane.

this video explains what you learn in 3rd grade...you should elaborate more on what you would actually need to know if there is a metamorphic rock next to an igneous rock and were then asked to identify which is which.they both can look very similar and i still have a hard time figuring out which is igneous vs metamorphic
