Thinking of tutorials, Roy Breiling asked a great question: "What’s the most efficient way of making videos to save hard drive space?"

The end of each year is a good time to take stock and plan for the future.
I want to give you a heads-up: starting next month, my newsletter is moving to monthly. The last weekly issue will be January 12. Newsletters will be monthly thereafter, appearing on the first Monday of each month.
Also, my last webinar - for awhile - will be Wednesday, January 7. I want to take some time to rethink ways to make these more effective. I look forward to chatting you on Jan. 7. Be sure to register.
However, my website and all its news, tutorials, webinars and Video Training Library remain the same. Industry news will continue to be posted daily. And I'm still available on email - I just won't be writing as much.
Until next week, stay hopeful, stay healthy and edit well.
