A big thank you to @Matt Barker for hosting this training session yesterday!

I added captions to our session recording using Capcut (browser version) but didn't manage to change the background colour (sorry everyone). Any advice on this is welcome! 

I also forgot to ask you Matt: can you also make video files smaller using CapCut or would you recommend using another software for this? 

To anyone: who has the Otter AI notes of yesterday session of our Q&A part? Then I will add this to the text. @Temitope Rebecca Adelola @Matt Barker 

Also looping in @Grace Alawa and @Uchenna H Anyaorah who could not join due to signal/scheduling problems

Absolutely my pleasure @Thirza Loffeld - Thank you for organising!

Yes! If you add your video to CapCut, edit it if you need to, then go to File>Export. You will be able to change the settings give you a smaller file size. The estimated file size is shown on the bottom left of the export window. So you can see how changing the settings will change the file size.

I don't have Otter AI notes, hopefully Temi will.

Thanks Matt! Great to hear you can change the file size in CapCut also. Looking forward to maybe a follow up session in a few months :)

It was great to meet everyone yesterday! There's so much to cover in the world of AI and we barely scratched the surface, but hopefully it was a good start. If anyone has any questions, ask away and I'll get back to you here.

Also, please share any AI tools you come across so we can all take a look!

Big thanks to Thirza for organising and putting this overview together.

WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme: your Catalyst Challenge!

Welcome to the WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme – your chance to learn, collaborate, and share lessons from conservation practice with a global community. This short, self-paced course guides you through every step of creating and publishing your first lessons-learned contribution on WildHub — from choosing your topic and interviewing an expert, to editing and celebrating your final piece. You’ll also practise skills that every thriving community builder needs: collaboration, reflection, and supporting peers. Each milestone you reach — Bronze, Silver, or Gold — celebrates not only your published work but your commitment to learning and sharing knowledge for the benefit of others. No prior experience is needed. Just curiosity, kindness, and willingness to learn through doing.
