Wondershare Video Editor Review

Review Post
I was provided a license, courtesy of Wondershare, to utilize the program in order to facilitate this review and give my honest opinions and thoughts of the program.    

Review:  

I am not too familiar with editing videos, so from my perspective I am a newbie and really green horn when it comes to video editing.  I have done maybe two in my lifetime.  I did not like video editing, and therefore just have not developed any true skills.  

So from that standpoint, I am using Wondershare Video Editor.  From the beginning of installing the software onto my computer, five out of five for being easy to install.  Not too hard.  No complications.

Downloading videos taken from my camera to the Wondershare Video Editor was also quite easy.  It also did not seem to take too long before I could start creating and editing.  I have to say I loved the fact that I could import some music clips and mp3 files that I had already in my computer to become background music.  Thumbs up for that!  

As I went to edit and create, I found that Wondershare utilized a "drag and drop" kind of feature.  I loved it.  It seemed that the tools in Wondershare worked in a way I sort of thought they ought to work.  Quite user friendly and something someone with little experience can pick up and learn by tinkering around with it.  

Here is a Screen Shot of what one can expect:

Here is a short video clip I made for one of my family members using the Wondershare Video Editor for her birthday:

Uploading and Compatibility:  After creating this little video, I absolutely was thankful for the options given to me for uploading and saving my video.  I was given the options of uploading to facebook, youtube, iphone, and mp4 among other options.  For a file as big as the video I created above, it took my computer a long time to upload to facebook only to fail.  Thankfully I was able to quickly upload the video on Youtube as well as email the video to my mom.  She received the video, and promptly posted the video on facebook. 

I felt that it safely blankets all options so that the created project will be compatible no matter what!  Very nice feature Wondershare offers.  

Short and not full list of my Favorite Editing Features:

Transition has got to be one of the nicest features.  Basically from one picture or video to the next scene, transition helps create a smooth and easy "transition" from one scene to the other.  It gives a bit of a professional feel by smoothing out any roughness I think!  

• Text: I love how easy it is to incorporate text into the videos!  The Text has the ability to be animated and appear in a very fun way.  This is a very fun and practical feature to have.  

• Media:  The fact that media can cover mp3 files is something I am really liking in this program.  It is nice that the media files I import are all in one place.  Easy to locate and easy to add into the video by clicking, drag and drop.  

• The Preview Screen:  Adjacent to the Media Screen on the right is the Preview Screen.  I have utilized this thing more often, and love that all I need to do is drag a bar to replay, rewind, and see parts of my video easily.  

Conclusion:

I know that I have only tapped the surface for this product.  There is so much to be learned with this product.  From cutting clips and utilizing the program as I would powerpoint, Wondershare has much to offer its consumer.  For those green horns and novice when it comes to video editing, I would highly recommend this product.  I think this product will be utilized when creating videos for family and friends in our home.   I also feel as a blogger this program can be quite nice and handy to have.  Quite nice indeed!

I thoroughly loved this product and have Wondershare to thank for this program.  Many thanks, and yes I do highly recommend this program for your video editing needs!

Heelys Review: Adults Can Heely Too!

Ever since I was about 7 years old, roller skating was part of my life! I remember my dad working in a place called “Skates and Blades”.   I was thrilled to go roller blading after school and just skate my little heart away. I felt invincible and had the best years of my life on skates!   About four years ago my husband and I were walking around the mall and visiting family--my kid cousins were rolling around in their Heelys.  LOVED IT!  My husband commented how he could never find any in his size.  From then on we always figured Heelys were made just for kids and not adults.   I could not believe it when our family was picked to try out a pair for review!  Since my husband was secretly wanting it for years, I thought it appropriate he should do this Review.  So my better half took on this opportunity to review these Heelys!  Which I regret now, because I want a pair!  So much fun and memories!

Design and Style and So Versatile!  

 From an aesthetic point of view the Heelys shoe is pretty fashionable and has great skater design and look to it.  Very typical skater shoes from my standpoint. Great color choices for both adults and kids.  They look just like a regular street shoe, and I love that my husband can wear this when he's out and about and with casual clothing.

Also the traction on these shoes is great!  The bottoms are perfect for providing the best amount of traction I think.  With Heelys you have got to have the best tractions because one is always gliding into a walk.  

He tried walking around with the wheels attached--he says do not plan on walking around with the wheels on if you plan on walking great distances.  Otherwise its perfect for gliding around and walking with the wheels attached.  For men, it might seem like high heels.  It is very easy to pop in and out the wheels if you need to.  He did not find it very hard to do either. Before leaving the car to go grocery shopping he simply popped the wheels off and put the cover back on. 

**Balance Point:  Learning to balance on your heels with wheels.**

Learning how to find your Balance Point can be hard, and anything new takes time, effort, and determination to try and try and not give up. Because the wheels are located in well….the HEELS—finding the balance point can be a little bit of a challenge even for those who have skated in the past.  My husband after an hour’s worth of skating around our kitchen said that his upper leg muscles were hurting! So I have to warn you that picking up your toes so that the wheels at the heels can roll. (I have tried heeling in my husband’s shoes…yes, my upper thighs get sore after a while of gliding around in our house.)  So my recommendation is to STRETCH out those inner leg muscles and legs!  These muscles are sore as to the "pointing up the toes" when Heeling.  Also be sure to read their ways to be safe by reading their Play Book.

  

Learning to use these Heelys:  

As said in their SKATE 101: The Basics Instructional video, “Learning to Heely is like learning a new sport.” My husband is 25 years old.  And you have heard the adage, You can't teach an old um...man new tricks, right?  Well, he learned how to Heely and proved this adage wrong!  He is not exactly athletic or has the greatest of balance.  Yet he learned how to glide across our Kitchen Floor.  He Heelys now from time to time.  He started learning on our living room carpet for a good half hour—finding his “Balance Point”. Then he took the big glide in our kitchen! Soon enough in about an hour of practice he got from one end of our kitchen to the other.  Back and Forth and so on. I do have to say that Andrew's comments was "This is Scary".
So I have to say that Heelys might be a bit scary because it requires a bit more balance and practice than regular skating. 

Tried to find some entertaining fun music to accompaniment his skating!

This is footage taken about 30 minutes to an hour worths of practicing

Andy's FINAL Run: The Longest Heely yet!

My Confession: 

 I have to admit that I still love skating and have stolen his pair of heelys more than once while he was at work. I have done my Heeling in the comforts of my kitchen! I LOVE IT! I doubled…no tripled my socks in order to fit into them but check it out! I am Heeling! I am a little girl again.

Though I love the Heely and would like to get a pair of my own, I think I would opt out to get their new edition of Heelys, H2X.  The H2X has an extra set of wheels in front of  the heels.  Making it easier to find your balance.  What is great is that you can transform them back into the Original Heelys just by taking the front wheels off.  The best of both worlds are at your feet with an H2X.

I have been working on getting the hang of it after watching my husband skate in them. I think with another two weeks I will be able to do some tricks they have listed in their Heelys Tricktionary.  My desire is to do the Fish Tail.

Brain: "Pay Attention" from NatGeo

 The FASTEST PICK POCKET...just a little fun, with a serious thought provoker. 

 Now, Lastnight my husband and I were watching a Special on NatGeo about our Brains and what we "Pay Attention" to.  We loved it!  But thinking about it now, what takes our attention for the most part throughout the day?

Taking it from a Faith-Spiritual perspective:
Are our minds being distracted from what God wants us to pay attention to? 
Or is my daughter suffering from me not really giving my full attention to her when we play?
