Perhaps I am one of the odd ones, don't watch TV (no cable) and the only
thing a prefer about xfce over fvwm of years ago is the slick way it auto
creates the menu even when new apps are added without having to edit a
file. I slider is easier to use for levels than a number too. I'm not
anti-gui, And can enjoy animations... but not to the point of making
drawings or video.
Judging from the large number of responses to this and the LightWorks
thread, I am indeed the odd one out. I don't know how I ever ended up
working a TV station when I was younger... lack of work in Radio stations
I guess.

Even so that doesn't explain the lack of serious attempts at making full
spectrum multimedia by other people round here and all the umbrella
groups. Also how many people say that and then sit in front of a TV or
computer for hours absorbing the visual experience. Putting together some original video footage for
an audio track is
really
not that hard. We have all the tools so I don't know what is holding
things up.
Some of us are just not visually oriented... I've worked in the area,
but
it just doesn't turn my crank artistically.
Definitely ignoring some chances for making some cash
out of their art
too.
Lots of truth in that. Music gets people's attention better with video
than without. It's a marketing thing. My visually focused sister remembers
songs by what she was doing when she heard them. A video provides an
experience to remember the song by. A remembered song sells.
