Scott Alan Miller :: A Life Online
Really starting to love using Final Cut Pro X. I’m learning it quickly and it runs so well on my M1 Mac desktop in the office at the hotel. It really makes my editing life so easy.
I’m taking a break from GoPro videos to play with my iPhone 13 with the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 gimbal, which is awesome. But I am not thinking that it is great as a vlogging solution so much as for filming more generally.
Dominica is out Christmas shopping in Leon, Nicaragua.
Today we had to make the really tough decision to forego returning to the United States for Christmas. If we were going to go we would have to have our tickets already and the cost and risk of doing it is just not plausible. This is going to be really hard on the kids, but with the omicron variant of COVID surging in the USA it is extremely dangerous for us to return. Not only is there the health risk of exposure, of course, which is the first variant that really puts the kids at risk; but the bigger realistic risk to us is the cancellation of flights. There’s so many countries closing borders right now, flights being cancelled and so forth. If we came home we easily would get stuck unable to leave Nicaragua, or stuck partway back, or in the USA unable to get home.
It’s is Sunday and our Internet is out again. A bit frustrating. But lots of dog walking today. Lots of video editing today including a new DriveWarp is done.
