I loved the 3 of them... the last one touches me, I can be a social person, I love people I love but I am quite a lonely person, I need that to be ok with myself... and appreciate moments with others!
Kiitos Sami!

Yes, I think we all need more or less our own time, from time to time =)

That end of the video is especially great, suggesting we then appreciate the company more after the retreat.

Someone should tell Riku that when you edit to music, you should never, ever cut exactly to the beat – even though it is often the first thing that comes to mind.

The rule doesn't apply to fades since they don't have a hitpoint in themselves.

Maybe that someone should be you =D

I am totally novice on such. "Ei sävelkorvaa, eikä rytmitajua."

But which is better? Shortly before the beat or after?

:D As long as the cut is not on the beat, it is are governed only by the video content and its own rules – and there are gazillions of those! My old professor was a former film editor and he made it clear to his students – even though we were not studying editing – how demanding a profession it is. And he was right, too! We are all just so used to watching well edited moving image that we don't even notice it's been assembled from bits and pieces – let alone how.

And yet it was only 100+ years ago when some film pioneer realized to his surprise that if you show a farmer fixing his eyes at something, then cut to a horse, the viewer thinks he is looking at the horse. Today everyone takes it for granted.
