Hi Brion,
I suppose that I could try uploading to Google Drive and sharing the files
with you, which may or may not encounter the same problem that the Labs
tool has. I would prefer to be done with this project ASAP, so if it's OK
with you I can send you some kind of physical media and then you can upload
as you see fit.

One note: there are a couple of clips that I would rotate or concatenate if
I could. My antiquated editing software is 32-bit, so like my browser, it
crashes when dealing with large video files. If you could rotate or
concatenate as you think best, I would appreciate it.

Please email me off-list with the address where you would like me to ship
the physical media with the videos.

Pine
