Videos are back

During our epic mega super ultra two-week vacation, I somehow lost the power adapter for the video camera.  (Probably shouldn't even have brought it.)  I've finally managed to transfer the videos to the computer so I'm starting to process and upload them.  Unlike photography, I have very little experience with videography; in fact, I'm using a different video editing program every time.  So the videos will be slower in seeing the light of day, but I'm working on it, I promise.  As proof, here's the first: a video of Nathan meeting his great grandmother in Canada.

The software I used this time was Kino.  Last time I used AviDemux, which was very simple and very easy--exactly what I wanted.  But it's not very good at putting multiple videos together at once, so this time I used Kino.  It's also very simple and easy, but the interface is a little more polished and it handles a "storyboard," which means I can combine multiple videos into one.  In this case I took about half an hour of raw video and reduced it to a very watchable four and a half minutes with dissolve transitions.  Let me know what you think.

I've also improved the Youtube embed on the Nathan page, thanks to a recent Youtube improvement.
