How rendering my videos dropped from 2 hours to 14 minutes

It's been well over a year since I made a video on Hive, long over overdue.

In the past year and a half, I've been making quite a lot of videos, but they're all on YouTube targetted at a specific audience hence I don't post them on Hive. I'm making this video because thanks to the black Friday deals, I bought a new laptop this week, and want to thank the Hive community for supporting me with the purchase. Whilst I didn't actually withdraw any Hive to buy it, it's the thought of knowing I earned something on the platform that helps to justify it.

I spent his weekend playing with my two laptops, cleaning up files in the old one before I transfer them over to the new one. Then I've had to make sure all the apps and programs work on my new laptop, especially since I got quite a few that are Hive and crypto related from recent years. It's such a tedious process.

The difference between my old and new laptop is remarkable as you'll see in the video. The biggest difference is the time it takes to render a video and this was the main reason I bought it. Previously a 10 minute video would take me nearly two hours to render. I couldn't wait to see how long it wold take on my new laptop. Today, this three and a half minute video took me less than 14 minutes to render!!!! I'm really impressed!! And now this means instead of having my dinner whilst waiting for my video to render, now I can only have my cup of tea!!!!

The other thing that I will be busy with this weekend is to work out how the Ledger works. I never really felt the need for it in the past as my crypto portfolio is so small. As I was brwsing cfor Blak Frida they deals eekend I saw this on offer at £38, so I figured it was time to get one. Knowing how stupid I am with tech stuff, this might take me a while to figure out. In fact, if you want to know how stupid I can be sometimes, check out the end of my video!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
