the Big Dream

December 21, 2025

I have edits! I have clips! I have links to videos with lyrics!

It took me almost a month to get here, learning to edit with Quicktime, easy, but losing sync once it is saved; then fighting my laptop to update a corrupted iMovie, consulting chatGPT (stupid), chatting with eight different people on tech support (clueless, but thanks for trying), and a visit to the apple store with no resolution. I finally erased my backed-up laptop and set up a ghost account for Nellie Wilson. I upgraded to the latest OS and was able to download a fresh iMovie to edit and add titles. Saving to my external drive I was able to keep Nellie Wilson as a separate partition , and go back for a “final” edit. After all that I can’t find way to change the aspect ratio and keep Grif from getting the top of his head clipped off, but decided to go ahead and post this version with song titles.
