In-camera, linear, and non-linear editing each have their strengths. I first started editing using a linear editor over a decade ago. That's not exactly true. I edited a video using a video toaster, but didn't really know what I was doing. For a class, I used an introductory system called "Avid Cinema" which output kind of ugly video using a scan converter and a vcr. Between that time and when I started using Final Cut, I learned to used a linear editor. It was controlled by a computer, but at its heart, the system was three VTRs (professional video tape recorders). I could cut between two video tapes, a character generator, and record onto another tape. There was no capturing or transferring of video to a computer. The computer and the attached keyboard were just the control mechanism. It used a video switcher to do the transitions. If you wanted to just create titles on the beginning of a video, it was a quick way to do it. The downside was that each time you changed something you copied from one tape to another. With digital, that doesn't matter, but with analog tapes, it could get bad quickly. If you have a camera, you can do what's called in-camera editing. Saying it is simple, but doing it is hard. You just choose what you want to record and think, while you're shooting, about the story. If you're shooting a birthday party, you want to shoot the games, shoot the cake, shoot the candles being blown out, shoot the presents being opened, etc. Remember the end of the previous shot when you start the next one so that you can avoid breaking the 180 rule (more about that later) and vary the shots enough to not have a jump cut. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Th2atpXSuc

No, not relevance, irrelevance, and obscurity. Many videos never make it out of obscurity and some seem to be perpetually relevant. Nope, I'm talking about the stages of production, but you knew that from the title of today's lesson, because you're smart. Don't argue. I think it's true, so just say "thank you" and we can move on. You're welcome. These stages are preproduction, production, and postproduction. If it's easier to think about it this way you could use the words planning, creating, and editing. That's the short form of what each step involves, but it's more than just that. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e05acGwx2B8

You only upload to YouTube or Vimeo. 2. You upload wav or aiff files. 3. You export videos that aren't using the H.264 codec (and don't transcode into ones that are). 4.

I'll try and fix it later, but since I"m going out of town soon, here's the raw version. This week's questions: JS Have you talked about website backgrounds yet? BB (on Church Technical Leaders) [W]hy would our leaders want to take space away from our current building and dedicate it for a control room? What would be in it for our leaders to do this? I know that we would be able to stand and better communicate with each other but is this the only reason? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJkeH6IQxSU
