I work for a hardware company, whose engineering management consists entirely of hardware engineers. All of our "processes" are based on hardware engineering principles.
The end result is that it's very difficult to get any traction for different practices for software. Our one attempt at a code review was mismanaged from the start, and ended with the engineer concluding the review by saying if they ever tried it again with his code, he'd walk.

A while back I asked for some good video editors. I analyzed and weighed each option and tried ivsEdits LE first, but wasn't to my liking. Second I tried OpenShot. This works great, the only downside is that you need to install Blender and/or Inkscape for advanced titles and those work "buggy" at best. The basic "titling" works fine.
Vlogging was harder than I thought it would be (although I learned not to underestimate things).
GoPro
The Gopro I had was not living up my expectations. I admit the camera is somewhat battered in use, but still I wasn't getting the quality I wanted from it.
Camera
So it was back to my thrustworthy Canon EOS 7D. I truly love it and it still does the trick. I attached my microphone and started talking. That was also surprisingly difficult to do fluently (I had a fixed text) and ended up redoing the take several times.
Sound
Attaching a microphone solves the issue of "talking to softly" on video, but also records lots for noise. Here again I ended up in installing audacity with ffmpeg and Lame plugins to extract the sound channel from the video and correct it for noise.
resync
After you have the sound, via microphone or directly from my amp you need to resync it with the video. That's not so easy. Right now, I used the mouse to move my tracks in sync. I hope I can find a more fine-grained way to move a track a nod to the left/right.
All in all, nothing of this is rocket science, but it was a lot of finicking about.
Since some of you are going to ask me anyway:
The first result online is a demo video for guitar lessons on my webpage[^] the about tab. The acoustic guitar is recorded with an iRig microphone through my tablet. The electric guitar is through my H&K Grandmeister 40.
Note that the metronome clicks are recorded with the microphone, hence I'm wearing headphones 
So basically, thanks for all your advice
(and in turn I hope this feedback helps others)

So you finally used OpenShot ? This is still not clear to me.
Thanks for the feedback BTW.

Yes, I finally chose OpenShot.
I also use Audacity and Windows Media player and GoPro Studio, but everything is finally fitted into OpenShot before release

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
It can be quite a task to build decent videos.
Long ago I found Camtasia Studio and it was great for screen capture videos with annotations but it runs $300. It's quite nice and you can add all the text blurbs etc and do a lot of editing, but $300 was too pricey for my cheap self.
I had been searching a long time and finally I came upon Movavi. It's only $59.95 for the screen cap and the editing software together.
Amazon.com: Movavi Screen Capture & Video Editor 9 Personal Edition [Download]: Software[^]
I've used this for screen capture and then adding in all the text blurbs etc. but you can also use it for editing real videos and adding all the text call outs and all that stuff too.
It only took me about 15 minutes to learn how to do it. it does have a weird way of doing that stuff.
But the really cool thing is that it does all the formats. I an take a screen cap and save it to an animated gif, MP4 or whatever. A lot of them won't do animated gifs that easy.
Sample : My Android App
Here's a sample video at youtube that I made with the software which is a video of my cell phone with the text callouts. It's only 12 seconds long.

A few bands ago we shot some videos for promotional purposes and synchronization was an issue. We realized that is why you see the "clapper" device used when shooting movies and shows. That is how professionals synch up the video and audio tracks.

Now that you say it, but I saw something different. I thought it was a bit too short and wondered where you can turn of the vibrations.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No good for me. My wireless is high-powered, not medium.

Thanks for that - I'll bear it in mind. I prefer wired, and that is clearly wireless.

They loved big guns. Putting one made for a warship on a tank already was idiotic, but they actually tried to put such a thing under an airplane.
I wonder who they were planning to shoot at?[^]

Yes, but refering to the story about riding a cannonball, not his lies.

If you can still see weeds, you don't have all that much snow.
