    Jamie, thank you so much for this wonderful instructional video. I am ABSOLUTELY new at this and after less than an hour I have created videos from my GoPro clips. I just happened upon CapCut and already feel "comfortable" with it ... well, at least not terrified. This, of course, is due to your marvelous method. You are a great teacher. Thanks
