Description

There are two videos shown on https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/new/dance/9083/. Both are correct.

However, if one goes via https://www.scottish-country-dancing-dictionary.com/video/craven-jig.html to find videos, there is a third one

The Craven Jig - YouTube Scottish Country Dancing Video. Animated Characters Performing The Craven Jig - Dance Animation By George Williams.

In this animation the second reel (bars 17-24) are shown incorrectly.

(It’s a lovely dance)

Thanks for the comments. It is very helpful to be told if we are missing a useful video.

I have looked at quite a few of the George William animations and added many of them, particularly where there is no other acceptable video. In general my feeling is there are minor errors in some of those animations.

If there are other reasonable videos, it is more work for less benefit to add the animation and write a comment about where it is wrong. It may also be confusing as someone might watch the video but not read the comment.

So in this case I think it would be best if that animation was corrected and replaced rather than added to the database. Are you willing to make a youtube comment on the video telling him what you think is wrong?
