Well, it took some experimenting but I finally figured it out. I like |
47 |
to have never found the save video option under the file menu. Why not |
48 |
hide it next time. lol I can't blame it on my glasses this time |
49 |
either. I got new ones a while back. Maybe it is stupidity. o_O |

|
51 |
I will say this tho, it is dang fast. It took like 10 to 15 seconds and |
52 |
it was done. Kdenlive took MUCH longer. |
53 |

54 |
File size is awesome too. The two files added are very close to just |
55 |
adding the file size of each video. I'm talking within a megabyte or two. |

Thanks for this tip. I got a new toy to play with. lol |
