    I’ve been in digital media for over 20 years and you threw down so much accurate knowledge I had to stop the video and share it with some younger people right away bc you are 100% on the money. Btw… 30fps is the most natural frame rate. It’s the avg rate the image passes from the eyes to the brain. …And buffering is another benefit to fast card writing speeds.
    Bravo! Keep up all the hard work!!! Thanks for the inspo!

    Seriously!! Embarking on a CZcams venture in 2024 might seem belated, but it isn't! I initiated my channel this year and anticipate great progression by 2025 as I enhance my regularity. Simply take that initial leap! Refrain from dissuading yourself. Find a YT buddy and grind. Cheering on all budding creators.
