To get rid of the hot pixels, I created a mask the same size as the video, with black spots the size of the hot pixels. I used it with an overlay trackto make hot spots transparent. The overlay track was then shifted to the right by a few pixels, so that a non-hot-pixel area of the underlying video replaced the offending spot.
I'm using Corel Videostudio x10 pro, which has a good multitrack editor. This has automatic synchronisation of the sound and video tracks, so I could concentrate on building the film track. It took most of the day to almost finish the first film, but it should get faster with the others.
Brexit had a Gallic flavour as French liberal presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron visited Downing Street. Afterward he came out and gave a cheeky offer to UK scientists and banks - 'Come to France!' According to the Telegraph, Oxford Univeristy is contemplating a Campus there, something immediately denied by Oxford University. However, a number of British universities will be considering continuing the tradition of setting up campuses abroad. Meanwhile, the Lords debate on the Brexit Bill is a news sideline.
The apparent agreement, with the US that UK nationals who happen to be Muslims or have a heritage from one of the nine countries banned by Trump, can travel to the US with a valid visa, appears not to not to be a reality. A dapper Welsh teacher, Juhel Miah, was accompanying students on a school trip to New York via Reykjavik in Iceland. He was taken aside for searches and then denied access to the plane and had to fly back, with no explanation and feeling like a criminal. The issue is being taken up by his local council with the American Embassy and to his MP. Perhaps Wales will be added to future US travel bans.
