Distressed, tactile and functional materials are the foundation of Brooklyn-based artist John Spinks' solo exhibition "Remains to Be Seen," which opens at Tillou Fine Art gallery on Wednesday, October 25.
The exhibit explores the shifting relationship between "what we see" and "what we know" by joining letters, musical notes, maps and geometric forms, highlighting the affinity between writing and drawing as means of communication.
Original letters sent to Spinks from his father are featured in several pieces.
In his newest exhibition of paintings and collages, John Spinks prominently features personal letters from his late father in England. The letters, incorporated in several collages, serve as memorials– not just to the relationship between father and son, but also to domestic and world events.
Spinks said the pieces give him a chance to honor his father, who worked as a storekeeper in post-war Britain, in the way he should have been honored.
Spinks incorporates the letters within his drawings, creating collages that explore marks and display dimensions and depth, while celebrating the dying art of cursive script.
In some of his other exhibited works at Tillou, he uses a different way of expression, incorporating maps and patterns to display depth and landscape, while circles give a diurnal nature to the pieces. By connecting images and text out of the original "customary" context, Spinks makes the familiar unfamiliar.
Yet, in a quest of familiarity, and as an immigrant who was born in Ireland and raised in Northern England, Spinks said, he needed to re-examine his culture to find out who he is. His father's letters were essential to that journey of self-rediscovery.
John Spinks' exhibition 'Remains to Be Seen' opens on Wednesday, October 25 at Tillou Fine Art with a reception from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Tillou Fine Art will hold a salon, John Spinks in conversation with Mimi Thompson, on Saturday, November 4.


WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Navy isn't moving fast enough to fix the ongoing systemic physiological episodes that have plagued fighter pilots and flight students, members of the House Armed Services Committee said on Tuesday.
The number of physiological episodes suffered by pilots has been on the rise over the last ten years, and the Navy was forced to deal with the issue in April 2017, when a group of more than 100 Navy pilot instructors refused to fly the T-45C Goshawk trainer aircraft due to safety concerns.
Since then, the House Armed Services tactical air and land forces subcommittee has held several hearings but remains dissatisfied with the progress on solving the PE problem, chairman Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio) said on Tuesday.
"This has got to be fixed. I don't have confidence that we're getting nearer to that," Turner said.
In response, the head of the Navy Physiological Episode Action Team (PEAT) Rear Adm. Sara Joyner told the subcommittee the Navy has brought its T-45 trainer fleet back to full pilot production levels with the installation of CRU-123 solid-state oxygen monitoring units. The units alert the aircrew if oxygen pressure falls and allows them more time to take corrective action to prevent a PE.
"We are very carefully trying to put that training to the max capacity," Joyner told USNI News following the hearing.
While pilot production is improving, the Navy is still wrestling with PE issues on its fleet of F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet fighters and the EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft.
As a measure of oversight, Congress ordered an independent NASA report that was released in December to evaluate the Navy's effort to combat the PE problems in the Hornets and Growlers.
The report was critical of how the Navy focused on trying to find a mechanical defect in the aircraft rather than involve the Navy's medical community or pay more attention to the human element of the problem.
"Although the Navy has put significant effort into investigating the physiologic episodes, the bulk of their efforts to date have been directed to the aircraft rather than human physiology," Clinton Cragg, the principal engineer of the NASA Engineering Safety Center who over saw the report, told the panel.
Last summer the Navy created Joyner's current job as a way to ensure the service was holistically looking at the problem from all angles. Whereas the Navy had some success on the material side — now-retired former commander of Naval Air Systems Command Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker said in the fall that PEs were down significantly after making changes to the OBOGS — the Navy realized the human side was more complex that leaders realized, with factors like hydration and sleep levels contributing to some pilots experiencing PEs in flight conditions where other pilots would experience no symptoms at all.
The efforts for the Hornets, Super Hornets and the Growlers are directed at preventing failures in the two systems related to the two general groups of PEs – those caused by failures of the "Onboard Oxygen Generation Systems (OBOGS) or pilot breathing gas, and those caused by problems in the Environmental Control Systems (ECS), i.e. – unscheduled pressure changes in the flight station," according to the service.
Joyner outlined a series of steps the service has undertaken to address both the OBOGS and ECS maintenance as well as planned overhauls for the systems on the Hornets, Super Hornets and Growlers.
In addition, based on NASA report recommendations, the Navy is installing more precise monitoring equipment to gauge pilot breathing for more accurate data.
Still, the effort has several technical challenges: for example, the older designs of the legacy Hornets built in the early 1980s are on paper and on microfiche in the vaults of manufacturer Boeing. While the company is assisting in the effort, Joyner said gathering the material was slow going but the service was committed to the effort.
"This will remain our top safety priority until we fully understand, and have mitigated, all possible PE causal factors. Fleet awareness is high, confidence in their platforms and our processes are improving, protocols are in place and we are focused on mitigating risk, correcting known deficiencies," Joyner said.


Discussion in 'bubblynutter' started by bubblynutter, Mar 22, 2010.
Came home from work tonight, and conducted my daily test.
Just a reminder - added 6 honey gouramis to two tanks two weeks ago, and suffered an ammonia spike to 8.0+ ppm. In both tanks.
I've been doing partial water changes every day until Saturday just gone, when I dropped them back to every two days.
It seems pretty obvious that the 46G will finish before the 23G, which is silly cos the 23G has been set up since August (just not cycled properly).
Anyone have any estimates on how much longer the cycle will take? How long does it take for a nitrite spike to go down? What are the variables?
Nice to hear about the pH. I was concerned about the shell grit - the pH was registering 6.0 (bottom range of test kit) so it could well have been lower, so I put the grit in there to increase the hardness buffer. The pH shot up to 8.8, so I took it out, now it's been hovering around 6.8-7.4. Should I keep the grit in there? Leave it out? How long does the buffering effect last for?
Recommended size of daily pwc?
I wold do at least 50% with that high of nitrates..have you tested your tap for ammonia/nitrites/nitrates?
Yeah, I tested last night (had to leave the water out for a while.
Registered no ammonia or nitrites, but a small (between 0-5) amount of nitrates.
Any feedback welcome, as always!
What do you all think? Progressing nicely, yes?
I can't believe how quickly this is coming together! So happy with tonight's results.
Will check over the next couple of days to confirm, but that is awesome!
Congratulations! It looks like the 46g is right behind the 23g.
got that right bb! Tested tonight, and ONE DAY later - both tanks ARE CYCLED!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight's readings on the 46: 0,0,10!
As my cycling on both tanks is well and truly complete, I am closing this thread.

'Morning Joe' Pushes Hillary on Foundation, Lets Up in Touting 'Remarkable,' 'Turning Point' Speech
August 26th, 2016 3:14 PM
Hillary Clinton joined the cast of characters on MSNBC's Morning Joe late in Friday's show and co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski questioned her somewhat fairly about the Clinton Foundation and had facial expressions that embodied the lack of trust the American people have in her, but they backed off at some points in hailing her "remarkable" Thursday afternoon speech that could be seen as a "turning point" in the presidential election and politics as a whole.
Scarborough kicked off the questioning by wondering why Clinton didn't come out immediately and label Donald Trump a racist during her "remarkable speech yesterday" but later changed his tone when the topic shifted to the Clinton Foundation.
He attempted to ask why she doesn't begin the process of removing she and her family from the foundation now and when Clinton seemed to boast that the fight against diseases like HIV/AIDS is incumbent on the foundation's work, Scarborough shot back:
Madame Secretary, though, and you all have done remarkable work in the fight against HIV and AIDS, but you are not suggesting and nobody related you with the foundation is suggesting that continued progress will stop if you transfer those assets over time, understood it would take awhile, over to the Gates Foundation or some other foundation that would continue your good work. That fight is not dependent solely on the Clinton Foundation remaining in place, is it?
<<< Please consider helping NewsBusters financially with your tax-deductible contribution today >>>
Brzezinski jumped in moments later and informed Clinton that, despite her spin, "it's really fair to take a look at the work the Clinton Foundation has done" and express concern at possibility of additional "e-mails or foundation ties to foreign entities that will be revealed" either before the election or afterward if she's elected.
Clinton naturally claimed that there won't be any additional batches of e-mails discovered that would bode poorly for her and Brzezinski surprisingly kept up the pressure by wondering if Clinton would be excoriating her GOP opponent if it wasn't Trump and they had run a foundation that took foreign donations:
But it does — it raises questions. Madame Secretary, if a Republican candidate who was actually credible was running against you and served as secretary of state and ran a foundation that took donations from foreign entities, wouldn't you be criticizing him or her for a conflict of interest? And in retrospect, was that a good idea if you're not going to be doing it, in some cases, as president?
Eventually, Brzezinski backed off and lamented to Clinton that "[t]here's so much noise" in this election and wondered if the Democratic presidential candidate is working to "build that trust up with voters at this time when people are feeling negative, to say the least, about this election overall."
"You know, on key issues that impact society, I have to say you have been saying the same thing for decades and you have been doing the same work for decades. Hillary Clinton, thank you so much for coming on this morning," Brzezinski later concluded.
The relevant portions of the transcript from MSNBC's Morning Joe on August 26 can be found below.
MSNBC's Morning Joe
8:37 a.m. Eastern
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Madame Secretary, thank you so much for being with us. I think everybody around the set this morning has concluded it was a remarkable speech yesterday but equally remarkable to us is the fact that Donald Trump, who contributed to your campaign and said wonderful things about you not so long ago, is now calling you a bigot. You said he was a fun guy but now you're talking about him stoking the flames of racism. Do you think Donald Trump is a bigot or a racist because he said you are?

SCARBOROUGH: Is that a message that you're giving — that you're sending out to Republicans as well as independent voters cause many people believe you are now trying to reach over and tell Republicans hey, you know what? You got a choice. I am going to be a uniter. I am going to work with Republicans as well as Democratic. You don't have to vote for this guy.
SCARBOROUGH: Alright, Madame Secretary, let's move onto another topic that — one we talked a good bit about yesterday on the show and knocked some of your people around a little bit and that is the Clinton Foundation. I want to ask you a couple of really quick questions on the Clinton Foundation. The first is a question that even some liberals are asking, people around the set were asking yesterday. If you believe that the Clinton Foundation has done great works and I think most of us believe it has done great works, why not transfer the responsibilities to, say the Gates Foundation or some other foundation to completely eliminate any conflicts if you become the next president and commander in chief?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, Joe, it's a fair question and I appreciate, you know, the concerns that people have expressed and that's why I have made it clear if I'm successful in November, we are going to be taking additional steps, but the fact is winding down some of these programs takes time. You don't just turn on and off a switch, even trying to negotiate with partner groups takes a lot of serious effort.
SCARBOROUGH: Is that something you would consider, though? Is that something you would consider over time?
SCARBOROUGH: Madame Secretary, though, and you all have done remarkable work in the fight against HIV and AIDS, but you are not suggesting and nobody related you with the foundation is suggesting that continued progress will stop if you transfer those assets over time, understood it would take awhile, over to the Gates Foundation or some other foundation that would continue your good work. That fight is not dependent solely on the Clinton Foundation remaining in place, is it?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: So, I think it's really fair to take a look at the work the Clinton Foundation has done and take the time to hear about it, which is what we've been doing. There's so much more you can do as president, obviously ans so I guess the question would be, are you certain that there are no e-mails or foundation ties to foreign entities that will be revealed that could perhaps permanently impact your presidential prospects?
BRZEZINSKI: But it does — it raises questions. Madame Secretary, if a Republican candidate who was actually credible was running against you and served as secretary of state and ran a foundation that took donations from foreign entities, wouldn't you be criticizing him or her for a conflict of interest? And in retrospect, was that a good idea if you're not going to be doing it, in some cases, as president?
BRZEZINSKI: There's so much noise and so much at stake. I just — I wonder with the questions raised from speech money to foundation ties how you build that trust up with voters at this time when people are feeling negative, to say the least, about this election overall?
SCARBOROUGH: Madame Secretary, you know, in every campaign there is a defining moment. I remember in '92 it was your husband up in New Hampshire, of course, Barack Obama's speech on race in 2008 was seen as a significant moment. Do you think yesterday's speech that you gave, in your opinion, may be a defining moment, a turning point in this campaign when talking about what is at stake for the American people in our future?
BRZEZINSKI: You know, on key issues that impact society, I have to say you have been saying the same thing for decades and you have been doing the same work for decades. Hillary Clinton, thank you so much for coming on this morning.

Maybe somebody here has an experience on working with 'NaN' values in Sage.
My situation is the following: I need to load some experimentally measured data into a list of float values. But unfortunately, the experimental data set is not "solid" - it has 'NaN' values somewhere inside.
What I currently need to perform first of all is to calculate the average value of a list slice. Preferably, simply using 'mean()' if it is possible.
So could somebody please give me an advice how to work with such arrays correctly?
Hello! Thank you for reply! I tried to use 'is NaN' as you suggested, but the problem is that I need to obtain the data from a text file. But when I use float('NaN'), I get the 'float' type, naturally. Whereas type(NaN) gives me <type 'sage.symbolic.expression.expression'=""> which is different. So I cannot use 'is NaN' construction for the floats obtained by parsing the text file.
Thanks! It works! It's a pity I have to check and remove every item in my lists. It may be rather time-consuming with large data sets. Anyway, thank you for the recipe!
Is there a command to find the place of an element in an array?

Best Video Editing For Mac
The Mac is hugely popular among creative professionals, so it's no great surprise that there are lots of video editing tools available for it. Whether you just want to add titles, transitions and a soundtrack, or you want to add Hollywood-style effects and access to professional color correction there's a Mac application that will do the job.
Jan 08, 2020 Video editing software for Mac comes at various price points, with some even being open-source. Our favorite, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, is the most complete solution available. For this, however, you're going to pay monthly. With this, you'll also receive Premiere Rush, which lets you capture footage on all your devices. Aug 18, 2020 Blender is a free video editing software for Mac and free 3D rendering program, which features the best list of animation essentials such as modeling, rigging, interface, animation, shading, UV unwrapping, real time 3D game creation, and so on. This also has a pack of high-end interface that is loaded with intrinsic and useful tools.
The really great news is that many of these programs are free. You might expect that free video editing software would have fewer features or produce less professional results than expensive software, but many of the free tools featured here are more than good enough to produce professional-looking movies. The only downside is that they tend to have a steep learning curve and they don't walk you through the process of editing. However, there are plenty of video on YouTube to help you get started. Here are the best free and paid-for video editing applications for the Mac.
Best free video editing software for Mac
1. iMovie
Apple's consumer focused video editing tool used to only be free if you bought a new Mac. But now everyone can download it free from the Mac App Store. It's a brilliantly easy to use application. One of its best features are the movie trailer themes that allow you to create amazing cinema-style trailers in a few minutes.
If you want to create your own movies, there are tons of effects, transitions, sound effects and title styles to help you. And it's easy to import your own audio tracks and photos and add them to your production. If you're looking for a free video editor for Mac, iMovie could be the only tool you'll ever need.
2. DaVinci Resolve
If iMovie isn't for you, give DaVinci Resolve a try. It's the free version of DaVinci Resolve Studio, but being free doesn't mean there aren't many features. It's loaded with professional tools like some of the best color correction and image stabilization there is. In the free version, you can work at frame rates up to 60fps and export your movie in SD, HD and Ultra HD.
It has a full digital audio workstation for sound editing, meaning you won't have to leave the app to get the audio just the way you want it. It's available on the Mac App Store, but if you want the full features of the free version, download it from the Blackmagic website.
3. Lightworks
While DaVinci Resolve gives away lots of its high end features in the free version, the same can't be said of Lightworks. There's still plenty here though, including: effects, multicam editing, titling, and a timeline with multiple layers.
There's also access to royalty-free video and audio content for you to include in your projects. However, output in the free version is restricted to 1080p on Vimeo and 720p on YouTube. And there are no detailed export options for H.264 or MP4. Also, if you want to use the free version for more than seven days, you'll have to register.
4. OpenShot
OpenShot is an open source video editor with a user interface that's much simpler than most. That doesn't mean it's short of features, though. It has templates for creating titles, effects, the ability to remove the background from your video, and slow motion and time effects. You can also create 3D animated titles and effects, there's support for unlimited tracks, and for more than 70 languages. The interface isn't the slickest you'll ever use, and there have been question marks over its reliability in the past, but it's definitely worth trying if you want a free video editor for the Mac.
5. Video Editor MovieMator
Video Editor MovieMator allows you to trim, split, move, and merge clips from a variety of different sources. It handles every consumer file format you're likely to need and can import directly from your iPhone or GoPro. There are lots of built-in effects and transitions, and, of course, you can add titles too.
The interface is simple enough for most people to get to grips with quickly and the real-time preview makes it easy to see exactly how your video is coming along. There is a significant limitation on the free version of the app — exports are listed to videos that are up to five minutes long. Also, there is only one transition and a handful of effects in the free version.
Best paid-for video editors for Mac
1. Final Cut Pro X
Final Cut Pro has come a long way since it was overhauled a few years ago and lost several features that caused lots of criticism to be directed at Apple. The fact that it's designed by Apple means that it takes full advantage of hardware on the Mac, particularly the Mac Pro and iMac Pro. It pushes their multi-core CPU and GPUs to the maximum.
Features like the Magnetic Timeline 2 and Enhanced Timeline Index may be beyond the needs of most of us, but if you edit videos for a living, you'll appreciate them. Support for up to 64 camera angles with automatic audio syncing is another feature that makes video professionals lives much easier. And of course, it supports the formats you would expect of a serious video editor including ProRes, RED, and XAVC, as well as H.264 from digital SLR cameras. When it comes to Mac video editing, Final Cut Pro X has all the bases covered.
2. Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Like all of Adobe's professional products, Premiere Pro is only available as a subscription package and subscribing for a year will cost you almost as much as buying Final Cut Pro X outright. However, if you prefer your video organisation tools and especially the timeline to look and work like a traditional non-linear video editor, you may prefer Premiere Pro over Final Cut's Magnetic Timeline.
In other respects, Premiere Pro is very similar to its Apple rival, offering a full range of audio editing and color correction tools, as well as effects, support for multiple formats (including Apple's ProRes) and all the output options you're likely to need.
One area where Mac users will notice a difference is in rendering performance, particularly on a high-end Mac like a Mac Pro or iMac Pro. Adobe's application is designed for Mac and PC and so optimized or for the Mac's multi-core CPU and GPU the way that Final Cut Pro is.
3. Adobe Premiere Elements 2018
The simplest way to describe Premiere Elements is that it is to Premiere Pro what iMovie is to Final Cut Pro. But Elements and iMovie are two very different apps. For a start, while iMovie is free, Elements costs $100. The other main difference is that Elements is set up to automate much of the process of creating your movie masterpieces. So, for example, Quick mode takes the clips and other media you've imported and throws them together on the timeline, you can then re-order them, trim them and add transitions and other effects. Even here, however, the emphasis is on letting Elements do the hard work for you. So, press the Fix button and it will apply image stabilization and other 'fixes.' If you want to be more involved, a guided mode prompts you with onscreen tips. Of course, if you'd rather work completely manually, you can. Elements doesn't make it as easy to import media as iMovie does, and you'll have to download much of its additional content, like music scores, individually.
4. Filmora
FIlmora allows you to import clips from your Mac's hard drive, a camera, and even from social media accounts. It has a somewhat quirky interface, that may take some getting used to if you've used other video editors. But it has plenty to commend it including lots of effects, titling options, and audio controls. It's neatest feature could be the lighting preset options that allows you to emulate the look of Game of Thrones, Star Wars, or House of Cards at the click of a button.
How to make space for video on your Mac
Working with video editing software means you need lots of free space on your Mac's main drive — video clips use several gigabytes of space for every hour of content, and that's before you export the final version. You should also make sure your Mac is running at its optimal speed, you'll need every ounce of power to render video.
One quick and easy way to both improve your Mac's performance and clear space on its hard drive is to use CleanMyMac X. CleanMyMac identifies "junk" files that sit on your Mac's drive, taking up space and slowing it down. It makes removing the files very easy and could claw back tens of gigabytes of space. You can download it free here.
The best video editing software for Mac is, ultimately, the one that does what you need to do in a way that you enjoy working. There's lots of Mac video editing software, and much of it is free. Take time, try out as many applications as you can and choose the best one for you.
These might also interest you:
It's no secret that Macs are known to be the best computers for video editing. From their inception, Macs have been positioned as the machine of choice for creatives — but what about today? With so many options available, it can be hard to tell which system and software is best for your needs.
Professionals using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro for Mac might require a different system to someone making casual YouTube videos. Either way, a quick exploration of what specifications and software fit you just right can go a long way.
Why Mac Video Editing Is So Popular
Originally, Apple was recognized for building better tools for creative work than Microsoft due to a collaboration with Adobe (known for its design software suite), followed by a clever strategy of distributing Macs into design schools and making creative workflows very user-friendly overall.
Apple also leveraged its exclusive partnerships with market-leading software, such as Final Cut Pro for Mac, so that it wasn't available on PC. Being first to this market spelled the beginning of a long-lasting loyalty among creatives and design-savvy users who were educated on Macs exclusively.
Additionally, the physical design of Macs was a breath of fresh air compared to the more cold and clinical PCs at the time, further lending to Apple's brand position amongst creatives.
Eventually, PCs reached a similar level of hardware and software support that could suit any creative work, but by then Apple was already firmly positioned as one of the best computers for video editing, graphic design, sound engineering, and more.
Specs that matter when video editing on Mac
Video editing on Mac is a hardware-intensive exercise that relies heavily on processing power. From rendering 4K videos to making thousands of edits across feature-length material, having a quick machine can make all the difference. Unfortunately, making sense of Apple video editing specifications can be difficult at best.
For example, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is at the heart of any machine, and once upon a time it was the most important component when video editing for Mac. However, in recent years the support of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) rendering has offloaded a lot of the CPU's work. That said, CPU power is still important when it comes to the general speed of basic operations, so here's a quick rundown on what to look for:
The CPU should at least be a medium to high-end quad-core unit (not a dual core), ideally manufactured in the last five years. For 4K and 8K video editing on Mac, you may want to look at eight, twelve, or more CPU cores.
Your GPU is arguably the most important component. The first thing to look for is a dedicated GPU unit, not integrated with your CPU. Secondly, you'll want to ensure you have a minimum of 2 GB of VRAM (Video Random Access Memory) which can render multiple effects at once without having to process them in sequence. Advanced users will want 8 GB of VRAM with a high-end GPU made in the past three years.
System RAM (Random Access Memory) is an important measure of how many assets and processes can be stored in extremely fast memory (think tip of the tongue). When video editing for Mac, you'll want a minimum of 8 GB and work your way up to 16 GB or 32 GB from there.
Similarly, you'll benefit greatly from having an SSD hard drive rather than an older HDD. The SSD format can load saved projects and large video files much faster, and is well worth the small investment on top.
Finally, you'll want to ensure you have a suitable display to accurately edit your videos. Look for an IPS (in-plane switching) panel rather than TN (twisted nematic), with a decent size of 27" for desktops or 15" for laptops. Aim for a screen resolution of 1920x1080 (but ideally 4096x2160), with a brightness level of 1000 cd/m2.
What is the best Mac for video editing?
By now you have a basic understanding of which specifications matter, but what's the best computer for video editing? Unlike PCs, Macs come in fewer variations, so selecting the right one for you comes down to your expected usage.
When it comes to advanced, larger projects, you'll want to opt for one of the best computers for video editing — iMac Pro. It combines up to 18 CPU cores with a dedicated GPU boasting 16 GB of VRAM, plus a 5K display showing unparalleled color and brightness accuracy. Expect to pay top-dollar for this option, best suited for creative professionals.
Best Video Editing For Macbook
Leaning towards value-for-money? Try Mac Mini — a small machine that sits nicely between the processing power of a laptop and desktop. The Mac Mini can handle basic and intermediate video editing with its latest-generation Intel CPU, combining four or six cores and an integrated GPU.
For many modern video editors, portability matters. The MacBook Pro is one of the most powerful laptops available for Apple video editing, with the top model offering a dedicated GPU that rivals the powerful desktops of yesteryear. SSD hard drives keep things moving quickly, while the four to eight core CPU units silently get to work in the background.
No matter which option you select, any 2019 or newer Mac is more than capable of video editing. However, the best computer for video editing can set you back financially, and there's still costly software to consider. Similar to not absolutely needing the best Mac for video editing, you might not need the best when it comes to Mac video editing software as well.
Top alternatives to Mac video editing software
Think twice before investing in the most expensive video editing software for Mac. Despite the perception that Adobe suite is a must-have, there are some amazing alternatives out there that work well without breaking the bank.
CameraBag Pro is a lightweight video editing tool for Mac, once claiming the second spot for the Apple Mac App of the Year. It nicely fills the gap between a simple photo editor and complex video editor, resulting in slick software that perfectly meets the needs of most at-home users.

The app's clean user interface makes it a breeze to use, and the one-click filters can have your work looking pixel-perfect without getting lost in the details. For those of you looking for more advanced editing tools and settings, CameraBag Pro has you covered with dedicated color, tone, and gamma curves.
Capto is another cost-effective tool for your Apple video editing suite, allowing for a quick and easy way to capture screen recordings on your Mac. Capto is perfect for those who are creating tutorial videos or anything requiring on-screen annotations.
The app's built-in editing interface can finish the job without having to move to another tool, saving you time and money on complementary software. Basic and intermediate users will appreciate the simplicity of Capto's tools, strategically implemented to prevent bombarding you with complex workflows.
For perfecting specific projects, try GlueMotion — a drag-and-drop tool which turns your images into time-lapse videos in just a few clicks. It works well with almost any photo format and even has a batch editor for images to make sure things are looking good before committing to a time-lapse.
GlueMotion's built-in deflickering engine ensures a smooth transition across the whole video, while taking advantage of macOS developer tools to promote quick rendering across a variety of professional formats. Loyal Apple users will enjoy the macOS inspired design which feels right at home.
The best part about CameraBag Pro, Capto, and GlueMotion is that they are all available for a free seven-day trial on Setapp — a Mac subscription service that grants you access to over 160 indispensable apps.

Independence Day July 4th 2018.
Lately on my Instagram: @angeliquelamourauthor I have been sharing some memories. I have fond ones of July 4th all the way through my life. Unique memories and not a bad one in the bunch.
–going to my god mother's mother's house for fireworks. The dads set them off in the middle of the driveway. Sometimes the fire dept came and sometimes they didn't.
These are a mix of LA and Colorado. I don't recall ever being somewhere else with the exception of the one we missed…Going to a tiny town to see fireworks set off by the fire dept and sometimes it was necessary to cover up to avoid falling flaming ash.
There is a themed parade and old fashioned picnic with games. One year our youngest was grand marshal for suggesting the theme that was used–she rode on top of the fire engine. We also headed to Colorado some years and would dive over the girls to protect them from falling ash.
One year we got on a plane on July 3 and got off of it in New Zealand on July 5th.
Then we get to the real holiday: Our Independence from England.
A group of highly educated men signed their own death warrant (aka the Declaration of Independence) declaring independence from England. They freely put their names down admitting to high treason. Wow.
A belief that a democratic system could and would work and indeed it has for 242 years.
I will not get into what is currently going on in our country. I won't. Not here. Not today.
But think about what they stood for. What the women and children stood for.
They were willing to lay down their lives, risk their loved ones for AN IDEA.
If you read about that time you do find a heavy female influence. Women wrote and published, spoke freely with friends and husbands and boycotted English goods.They manufactured cloth, soap and salt peter. They nursed the sick and worried about the future.
This isn't like boycotting a big company today where you can get the same thing somewhere else. This meant that if they weren't going to buy English goods they were going without cloth to make clothing, bed linens, certain dry goods and without certain crops. It was a hardship on the women who bought the goods and ran the homes. This was no small job back then. If you wanted bread you had to have flour which meant someone had to grind the wheat into flour and then you could cook with it. Or you might do all three.
Remember our founding fathers and mothers. Remember what started this country. Remember that polite discourse is possible and we can all learn from one another even if we disagree. Then we get to vote our ideals because of every single man and woman who came before us from the very beginning in Jamestown to now.
