Session 2

This video contains the basics of QGIS. If you find sudden jumps in the video it is due to chunks of time where we were troubleshooting specific issues during the workshop. The sound quality of these bits was not good enough to be useful, so I cut them out.

The video file is fairly large so you will need to click the link below and download the file to your computer. The file is a standard mp4.
