I just had a play... I placed a rather nice, chirpy estuary bird, wallowing in mud MP4 clip taken with a Panasonic camera and the MP4 version of my sunset movie into iMovie together. I can cut and clip, stretch and squash, insert *new* transitions, titles and any other effects into the movie. What I can NOT do is EDIT any of the pre-existing titles, framing, fades or effects in my Sunset Movie, yes, I can edit anew but not adjust any previously created effects, that is the whole point of what I was trying to say, but not explaining it very well. Once an iMovie (or any other movie creation software) has compiled the component parts of the work, the transitions, titles and effects (which can take HOURS to get right) are no longer directly editable. They can be cut out then redone, split, chopped up or re-edited perhaps but effectively once compiled, they are locked, a wrongly spelt name in the credits and the whole compiled movie is junk. Most 'serious' software (Adobe Premier?) allows the original document to be saved, in most cases incrementally (to allow two or more options to be tried? so the editor can revert to an earlier point) and re-edit, PRIOR to compilation, compilation is far more than just saving the movie, it locks all the clips, images, sounds and effects and converts the whole assembly to one homogenous file. Back in the early 2000's I used Final Cut Pro on my fairly competent dual processor, liquid cooled, Power Mac and it used to need to spend all night compiling a modest 15 minute movie of the kids taken on a Sony tape cassette video camera. It was a non trivial process, far removed from simply saving the file. I can still access the uncompiled version of my Oakdale Sunset movie, but only the version immediately prior to compilation. If I wanted to experiment with the layout I would have to start over from scratch, I can't save what I have, then edit the file a different way. This is one of the reasons I try to stay as far from video as possible because of the complications of editing it. It's probably why the software is so expensive because not too may people want or need to jump through these hoops, so the cost divided by the projected number of users tends to make it expensive; and it's complex, sophisticated software too.

I have Premier Pro and it is not an easy bit of software to use! It also takes a veeeeeeery long time to do the final rendering.

Try this: https://www.amazon.com/RF-811-Wireless-Shutter-Release-Connector/dp/B002X3GAIS I have one of those. It claims 50 distance. I don't know how accurate that is, but honestly, it's really sort of a garage door opener so it should work. The receiver has a bulb switch on the side. Rob

Video rendering is one of the toughest computing tasks out there Chris, that is one reason why these 'simplistic' video editing tools are popular, the likes of iMovie priority is to de-complex the editing, make it more predictably easy to render, therefore less demanding on processing power. Keep it simple. As I mentioned above, my PowerMac liquid cooled, dual processor, with a stack of RAM took all night to render a few minutes of video. I believe it's the main reason the new MacPros have been developed apparently regardless of cost, to cope with such heavy lifting in the TV and video industry. It certainly wasn't to play WoW (World of Warcraft to our more senior members! LOL). As a matter of interest, I have just realised Adobe do an iMovie 'lookalike', called Adobe Premier Rush. It seems very similar to iMovie, interestingly it's free to subscribers of the Photography package, Lightroom and Photoshop. I have been aware of it but not what it did, Adobe have a plethora of little apps, some of which I have tried, none of which I could find a use for... It may be a suitable replacement for iMovie. It synchronises files between devices, desktop and hand held, although that can be turned off, it can be handy to pull video data from an iPhone into a desktop for editing. I have a couple of clips of Dave's rescue from Oakdale on my iPhone, which I may share soon. I think I will download Rush and try it on a short video of the Oakdale rescue. I don't think Rush is a dumbed down Premiere, but coming from the same stable I think it may well share principles and some features, we will see...

Interesting thanks. for that. Pixel TW-283 Wirless Remote arrived today fitted it to the D500 for first quick test it will fire camera on single shots & also on CH firing camera on motor drive as long as button is pressed just as per camera direct. Tried from one room to another including downstairs a fair way from the camera upstairs at other end of house. Will try some long range in morning from end of road with camera in house about 100M. Will report more looks better than two other makes I tried last year and sent both back as not up to the job I wanted.

Tested on the D850 seen with set-up and the D500 works + with both fine in house tests even from room to room as stated. Camera then place in upstairs window pointing to end of our road 90 M as seen with next shot. Both cameras worked up to this distance no problem but I then moved round the corner just out of sight perhaps 100 M away and failed to work there with both cameras.

Here is the shot at 90 M self portrait, worked well with both cameras at this distance. But a few paces to the right just our of line of site failed to fire at all with both cameras. Robert if you want to have a go with it let me know and I will post it up to you so you can have it for as long as you like to test when condition are right for you. With lock down I will not be needing to use it for some time yet and it will save you spending money then finding it is not rightr for the job.  Click here to comment on this image.

No COVID-19 suit when out? Mission successful though.  Well done.

The shades and zapper provide all the protection Graham needs! LOL Many thanks Graham, a most generous offer. The demonstration is very impressive.
