Trump changed his mind.

I record the ABC TV news every night.

This provides two advantages.

I can watch it when I want, and I can fast forward

to skip stories that do not interest me.

Lately, I have been skipping the first 5, 10, and

even 15 minutes to avoid the American Election

coverage and especially TRUMP. That guy is

just "over the top". Recently, he said women should

be punished for having an abortion. Three hours later

he said he had changed his mind ! Is this the kind of

American President the world would like, with

his finger on THE BUTTON ? As I was trying to fall asleep several night ago,

I thought, I should make a video about this situation.

Images and scenarios kept flashing

thru my mind. It was a long long night ! I need images, video, audio, and software, MS

Movie maker. The first image would be a bad

picture of Trump, very easy to find on the internet!

The next image would be a rocket, blasting off.

As I reviewed rocket images, I realized that I actually

need an image of multiple rockets blasting off, not

not really difficult to find. The third piece

would be a video segment of the USA burning.

I found an internet map of the USA, resized it,

and traced it onto letter paper with a felt pen.

You can see thru the paper to the PC screen at night.

I cut away the excess paper and threw the map

outline on a preheated electric stove burner element

while videoing it. It disappeared in a flash ! Now for the audio. I found a site that offered

free downloads of mp3 audio files. After being forced

to sign up and being jerked around for half an hour

with nothing to show for it, I give up. A second site,

the american army, provided the star spangled banner

and taps in mp3 download form in five minutes ! I integrated, edited, clipped, captioned , expanded

and lap dissolved the elements, ( after relearning the

movie maker software ). The burning map required

special attention where I had to expand by 4X

the short fire section and remove the large flare

section that overwhelmed the camera. I clipped the

star spangled banner audio so the "rockets red glare"

passage aligned with the rockets image. Caption

text proved troublesome and distracting getting the

timing and line alignment correct, resulting in misspelling

in the first version! Minor tweaking followed and I

uploaded it to youtube. I went to bed, patting myself

on the back. The next morning, I was looking at my emails and they

all looked dirty! It soon became apparent that while

tracing the map off the monitor with a felt pen,

some of the ink had leaked thru the paper and

contaminated the screen in many places. Rubbed

frantically with water. No go. Asked Google. One part

water and one part rubbing alcohol was suggested.

The ink lifted off the screen like magic 119.

It seems there is more to making a video than

one might imagine, at first glance.
