    I noticed that Kitty gestures hardly at all and that Jennifer gestures a lot.. Too much of "talking" with your hands can be distracting; too little leads to the bored viewer... IMHO. Great Show -- I see you elsewhere on the web and like your content, topic choices, and presentations very much. Thanks for requesting feedback AND thanks for listening! Suzanne

    Thanks for watching our lesson, Razia! Yes, filming the intro and outro is so much easier after filming the body of the lesson. You already know what you're going to say! Best of luck with your lessons!

    We're editing in FinalCut Pro X, and it's great. You can also use the Curious Lesson Builder to edit your video footage. Here's a link to a terrific tutorial on that: https://curious.com/curiousteachersupport/how-to-put-your-lesson-on-curious Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions and best of luck with your lessons!
