Thank you Marat for the kind words. It was a great day so getting good videos was fun.
For editing I use AquaSoft Video Vision 2023 - create stunning presentations from videos, photos and music
in the Aquasoft Diashow Ultimate Edition 11 that I bought many years ago and keep updated.
Here a screenshot from this video project.
I think there is free version (SpotOn edition) available to try it.
Videos and picture are recorded mostly in 1080p 30 frames/sec on a DJI Osmo Action Cam with enabled image stabilisation. In addition pictures from my phone.
For audio I record the QSO on my Android phone using an open source Audio Recorder App. Editing the audio then in the free tool Audacity.
There I duplicate the snippets to new track, then run the normalize filter for all tracks so that both my voice and QSO partner are having the same volume. Then merge the tracks, run the “truncate silence” and export to wav to use in video editor.
Honestly audio editing takes most of the time in the process.
Youtube thumbnail is made in free tool GIMP
Editing such an activation video takes me about 2,5 to 4 hours.
