Thanks Anita for the invite, you and Josh have been doing a great job, and I’m honored to be listed with the folks you’ve had in the eLearning Users Group. (ELUG?!)

Don’t run PVE on a virt machine
DSLR solutions exist, but add complexity
Editing is easy, yelo you blue both green screen

Why I care about and use eLearning, what are my goals in producing eLearning
Features common to Cp and Pn

More options for camera, branding, editing
DOES NOT PLAY WELL ON VIRTUAL MACHINES
