151. Learn Blender - part 7 - lights, camera angles, the Blender video editor, and MP4 files

This video is part 7 in my Learn Blender (with me) series.
In this video, we will continue building simple animations featuring the checkered cube. We'll look at changing to a more powerful light source and using 2 different camera angles. Then we'll use the video editor built into Blender to slice and join sections of some new video clips to create a new video which we will render as a new MP4 file.
I also discuss the very common mistake new Blender users make when rendering their animations into stand-alone video files; instead of seeing their scene, they see only black screens. When I first ran into this problem, I spent several hours researching until I finally figured out the solution which I share in this video.
Hopefully, this Blender tutorial series will get you started making 3d animations! These videos are meant to be "learn by doing" videos; watch the video, pause the video, then open your copy of Blender to try and recreate what you saw me do. It is the best way to learn.
Please feel free to leave me any comments or questions. I read every comment and do my best to reply to each one.
And of course once you get comfortable with the basics, you can then let your imagination take over. As an example of this, at the very end of this video, I show you how I added 2 colored walls to the scene so that I could tell which direction the cube was rolling.
In future videos, I plan to show you what new things I've learned to do as I continue my Blender journey.
