As mentioned in Before the Video Editing, I already had some of the equipment and software for editing. A friend gave some constructive criticism to enlarge the pictures and my brother suggested adding music. I didn't want to get copyright claimed on YouTube for using anybody's music so I tabled for another day. Then I did more research on how to crop video and found https://filmora.wondershare.com/video-editing-tips/how-to-crop-video-files.html
and applied the techniques to Florida Lighthouses RoadTrip - Day 2:
Let me know if the cropping worked. What other techniques should I try in video editing?
It was November 2020 and I noticed that personal hygiene was slipping. My appearance was slipping due to the lack of going out: I wasn't hosting poetry; I wasn't attending art events etc. However, when I know I have a video meeting and have to show my face, my personal hygiene improved.
Before deciding to learn video-editing, I had bought Filmora WonderShare to convert video types and noticed that it could do other functions. I already had a YouTube channel (cloudyskytoday) where I would post privately and share the poetry reading with the participants. Then I participated in a conference where people were demonstrating video editing using another product and there were similarities. Additionally, I had used OBS Studio for streaming. Plus I already had a webcam. Wait, I already had a screen.
After taking stock of what I already have, I did some research on using green screen in OBS Studio and found a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DzS9OxUqu-A
Then I bought a green cloth (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07HSYD4HK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details), ironed it and pinned the screen. It doesn't stay wrinkle-free!
I made a recording in OBS Studio but the slide show would restart after the 6th image so I did the introduction with OBS Studio then I used PowerPoint to record the screen (learned by watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCi7z-bJJXw) while I describe the pictures. Then I used Filmora WonderShare to put the two together.

So far, I have received some feedback and will try editing the pictures larger in the next video.
