I thought it was shitty. That's not a comment on your opinion -- I often finish a talk or a book or whatever thinking "gawd, why am I not covered in rotten vegetables?", only to be accosted by people wanting to _thank_ me for my work. OTOH, I can finish something up, think "hey, this is pretty good!", inflict it on an unsuspecting world, and find out that no, in fact, it was a steaming pile of crap (very powerful! Makes things grow!). I've decided that I'm not a very good critic of my own work. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com I'm looking for work -- see my website!

The resulting "jumps" or "gas" were rather smooth and only a very professional system could improve it, along with multiple time-consuming re-enactments for more accurate body placement and hand-motion merging. In a word, this ain't Hollywood and we are not seasoned or professional actors. WELL DONE!

I also noticed that quite a few of the "talking head" video channels that I watch will have even more sudden visual jumps than I use, and I just don't notice them unless I concentrate.

I had the lapel mic contacting my chin, and even with a smooth shave every time I moved my head the damned thing scratched. Fortunately I did a spot check that 1/3 of the way in, or I would have had to re-record everything. -- Tim Wescott Control systems, embedded software and circuit design I'm looking for work!

As the yo-yo descends and > unwinds, you pull up on the string to speed it up, adding energy.The whole term is kind of a funny one -- it's bound up in 20th-century science wanting to make all differential equations linear and time invariant (because then you can solve them on paper, before you die of old age). As for your questions: find three or four college physics professors. Get a couple of pints of beer down each one, then pose your question.
