You should list posts like this which lack any (or enough) illustration to work through. As you gather any such clips/pics/gifs, consider which other posts and which Eval Qs these might be useful for, and take the time to organise into folders with distinctive file names to make finding them later in a FCPX library easier (and also from a Finder search!).

I forgot to add: the post title doesn't reflect the post contents.
You could also make better use of the LARGEST LARGE NORMAL sizes (and font/colour/colour highlight options all available too) for sub-headings.
