Managed to produce 30-second video with Kdenlive.
Five hours.
 
=Fri Aug 18, 2017=
Still fighting Kdenlive. Cannot figure out how to speed up video to such a short length. Tried several methods but the rendering of the file produces an undesired outcome.
 
=Thu Aug 17, 2017=
Finished cube and Vokoscreen capture. First attempt at understanding Kdenlive. Struggle.
Three hours.
 
=Wed Aug 16, 2017=
First attempt to record the whole process of building the cube. Computer froze two hours into the work. Had not been saving the progress. Vokoscreen video and cube file lost. Started over and got to the stage of sketching my initials. Saved and closed files to continue following day.
Two hours.

Two hours working on FreeCAD

Encountered some troubles trying to fit the nut to the bolt. Not familiar with what ISOs are a match between the fasteners. Also, the Screw Hole Calculator says that a M30 screw should fit a hole of 26.5 mm but if I measure the M30 bolt with the ruler it says 29.91 mm approx. I do not know how to understand this discrepancy at the moment.
Six hours on FreeCAD.
 
=Sat Aug 12, 2017=
Another long afternoon in front of the computer with FreeCAD. It has been very frustrating at times. It reminds me of the days in which I wanted to format a letter in MSWord and had no clue on how to do it. Things are intuitive, but not so.
*Learned some characteristics of the Sketcher workbench and how to toggle between workbenches to access the tools needed for differents parts of the job.
*Encountered a problem that I have not been able to solve yet. When I try to sink or stretch my sketch on the face of one of the tubes a dialog box appears saying that ''the shape is not perfect or that it's not closed'' (need to investigate). The program also freezes for a couple of minutes.
Five hours on FreeCAD
 
=Fri Aug 11, 2017=
FreeCAD learning using the videos in the link http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/FreeCAD_101 and the manual on https://www.gitbook.com/book/yorikvanhavre/a-freecad-manual/details
*Spend many hours in the afternoon of this day, around about six, trying to find my way around different commands of the software.
*Imported the eight hole tubes from the libraryhttp://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Part_Library , learned to copy and paste the eight hole tubes and how to move them away from the original so they are visible.
*Learned to activate the different objects (layers) and in which order to apply some of the commands.
