Week 540: Weather is Great and so is Progress

 Weekly Written Review 

Remastering a 5 and a 1/2 hour series ain't easy. It takes a lot of time, patience, and battle skills. I spent countless hours fighting against the closed caption monster. Captions have actually been the toughest part. Imagine spending hours typing, only to realize that the text constantly becomes un-sync.  Talk about defeat. It took forever to figure it out and when I did, it was a relief. The irony is, I figured it out with a program I got rid of more than once. Everyone online wrote highly about Subtitle Title but it wasn't operating the way I wanted it to. As a result,  I uninstalled it twice. Desperation calls for a third try and the program started to make sense since when I finally learned the process of delivering captions. I didn't know the video and the captions had to be handed over separately. Once that knowledge was confirmed, I began to fight less and love again. Overall, I made a lot of great progress this week with the remaster I'm thankful that the weather has been great. When it's cold outside, it's freezing in my garage. That hasn't been the case lately. Thank the Lord.
