    1. What is watts, volts and amps ?

      I never really understood, and any definition I read, I just forget after a while. can someone explain in a way that I won't forget. the water analogy doesn't help as I get confused between them....

      the water analogy doesn't help as I get confused between them. also, Watt is the most confusing for me shouldn't it with some unit of time ? like I could say how much water is flowing per second but just saying how much water is flowing without the time wouldn't be very useful, it could be seconds, minutes, hours. yet, the Watt is never written with respect to time, why is that?

    2. I worked as a professional video editor until 2014. How much has changed since then?

      Title. This is my machine: OS: Windows 10 Video editing software: Adobe Premiere Display (ED320QR S): 1920x1080 @ 144 Hz in 28" [External] CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G (8) @ 3.60 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce...

      Title.

      This is my machine:

      • OS: Windows 10
      • Video editing software: Adobe Premiere
      • Display (ED320QR S): 1920x1080 @ 144 Hz in 28" [External]
      • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G (8) @ 3.60 GHz
      • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB [Discrete]
      • Memory: 64 GiB (7%)
      • 1TB NVME SSD (I can't get the info right now on Linux, but it's a very good SSD)

      I am looking into getting back into video editing for my personal projects.

      My program of choice was and is Adobe Premiere.

      So, how much has changed since then, and what is the best way for me to get up to speed? Do my knowledge and assumptions from 2014 more or less translate to current versions of Adobe Premiere? Should I use some other program instead? Are there any courses, summaries, or cheat sheets you would recommend?

      I should probably clarify that going back to editing is a source of distress for me, since it was something I was too emotionally invested in back then, leading to a significant burnout. So I would like to overcome some of that emotional fragility by mapping the terrain a little bit before going back to it.

      Back in the day, I used to love the courses on lynda.com. Something along those lines might help alleviate some of that anxiety.

      Thanks!
