Nice job. But there were a few continuity issues with the exact door position. You might have made them less noticeable by fading from one to the other.

I've used this technique to mask static things I wished weren't in the shot, correcting many framing errors.

Say, for example, there was a sign on a wall that I didn't want there and no action ever obscures it, e.g. no one ever walks in front of it. First I'd double the clip in the next video time line above, V2. Next I'd crop V2 until only the sign shows. (Well, leave a little margin for feathering in the last step.) Then I slide that clip over until another part of the wall showed, obscuring the sign on V1. Then feather the clip in V2 to blend. This even works if you pan or tilt in the shot because it tracks in both clips exactly.

Peace,

"It does not include any public domain or Creative Commons usage issues or recommendations."

Is there any video in the public domain? By law everything is copyrighted as soon as it's created, right? The copyright duration is longer than video has been in existence ... well almost.

Creative Commons is a license which depends on copyright to work. So fair use applies to media with any CC license just the same as any media without it, right?

The video should be edited to be half its length. It doesn't say anything useful until about half way through. Did they have to make it longer (and more boring) so that their fair use clips constituted a small fraction of the running time? The actual examples were more illuminating than the talking heads.
