10 recommendations for video editing

Learning to use a video editing program can take time. Each program has its own peculiarities and secrets, but in any case, there are a few basic principles you should take into account whatever use program.

We present a list of 10 basic tips to help you improve when you start in the fascinating world of video editing.

1. What do you do? Prevention is always good

If you plan to edit the material you're recording, it's a good idea to turning your target and during recording. It is also advisable to get a scheme which is to be achieved.

It is important to find the variety combining different types of plane. One example is called action plans: If you're shooting a basketball game, a flag or take public if you can help in the assembly.

2. Organization and order, always

Put your name tapes and clips in an organized way to find the material more easily. It may seem obvious but when working with large amount of material is more than necessary. Another good idea is split long clips other shorter, will make your life much easier.

3. Formats

It is most appropriate to avoid problems is that all clips are in the same format. In case of mixed materials from various sources, photographs, text, etc. must always bear this in mind.

4. Riding is like solving a puzzle

The editor of Martin Scorsese once said that films begin in the assembly. Perhaps a statement somewhat excessive but it is true that the narrative possibilities in the editing are very broad.

Selection: Select the material is difficult but important. A shot in the dark is not see nothing will be practically useless (however good that you recorded).

Order: Play the order and time. If you've seen more than one movie you'll know that time is only relative.

5. You can always cut before

Do not be afraid to cut - not a sin Cut - Cut is necessary.

We're used to seeing movies and putting the pieces together "missing" for ourselves. An example: if you see that a child has fallen to the ground and in the next shot is in the hospital you know what happened in between. If you do not agree think that wedding video that seemed to have no end.

6. Sound

The music, dialogue, voice-overs ... The sound makes up a world apart. Going beyond superficial only going to remind you that a movie is more than moving image and sound that plays a role as important as the visual elements and, moreover, a good soundtrack can enhance a boring video, but there are always to use it to head.

7. Effects themselves, but as

As they say some editors, "If you feel sad, chain". A Bound is a transition between two planes in which one merges with the next. Although sometimes used as patches, the effects should be used to contribute something and not as arrangements.

It is normal to go crazy when you discover the many effects that exist but everything is good in proportion.

8. Text and graphics

The text and graphics are used continuously, especially on television. Also use them judiciously and in the case of text, make sure they are legible. About the subtitles, the key is in understanding that the viewer has time to read all the words.

9. Once edited, re-edit

Once you've finished the assembly, presents the results from beginning to end and decide what you want to change (because for sure you'll change something.) It is essential to view the video in its full duration, and recommended a second opinion.

10. Export your movie

You want to hang on Youtube or will you spend on a DVD to see it on TV? As you look you will have to choose one format or another.

THE END

There is much more to consider but I hope that this introduction has served to your beginnings in the world of video editing. We leave you now several links to programs that you can implement the content of this lesson.

Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:40:00 -0700 How to format a USB memory http://sunbattery.posterous.com/how-to-format-a-usb-memory http://sunbattery.posterous.com/how-to-format-a-usb-memory

How to format a USB memory

USB flash drives, pen drives, USB keys, tokens or whatever they are called, are used as a briefcase, going from one place to another and keep all sorts of things: photos, text files, videos, music and more. It is very common for documents containing personal and general items that not everyone can see. So as soon as it is copied to the computer to delete the contents of the USB memory.

The deletion process is the same as that used for any file on your hard disk, but to make sure that the USB is actually deleted it is best to format.

Come into play format types. According to the operating system you're using USB or type in question will have to use one format or another.

For example, for Windows, you usually use FAT or NTFS, Macintosh HFS and HFS +, Linux ext2, ext3, etc. Also depends on the type of memory. Low-capacity disks use NTFS but not FAT. Anyway, let's deal with the more typical case is that of a USB memory detected by Windows.

The easiest is to select the external drive in My Computer and click on it with the right mouse button choosing the option drop-down menu format.

You'll see a window where you can change the name of the unit, check the memory capacity, choose the file system with which to format and the size of the unit and assignment. Should be left as the last two configurations are not to alter the memory compatibility.

If we want to ensure that formatting really delete files to make sure that there is no quick format selected. The last thing is to start. If the USB has a lot of capacity, the process can be lengthy.

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:14:00 -0700 Apple has patented 3D projection method http://sunbattery.posterous.com/apple-has-patented-3d-projection-method http://sunbattery.posterous.com/apple-has-patented-3d-projection-method

Apple has patented 3D projection method

Apple is a projection method for three-dimensional images has registered. The viewer must wear no glasses to see the 3D effect.

The U.S. Patent No. 7,843,449 describes how the pixels of the image on a reflective, textured surface can be projected. There, they radiate so that the left and the right eye of the beholder receive different signals, which produces the stereoscopic effect. The system also determines the location of the viewer, so that multiple people can view from different angles, the 3D projection.

The aim of the technology are now, according to the published patent description "affordable, on its own three-dimensional displays that give the viewer complete freedom of movement". It does away with different colored glasses, making it not necessary that the audience remain seated at a defined point.

Interestingly, one of the patent application for the drawbacks of existing 3D display techniques, including Parallel view and Holograms. Probably uses the same view Nintendo's next portable console 3DS. Because of the angle difference between the two eyes are each given pixel hidden, so, again, no glasses are necessary.

A hologram-like technology and share the other hand, 3D TV as the Toshiba one. To generate a two-dimensional image in real time, nine angle corrected versions that combine through the television projection to a 3D view. The spectators must remain in his seat but, like Apple criticized. Moreover, the method is extremely computationally expensive.

As with many new patents can also be derived from this is not soon appearing product. The request also comes from the year 2006.

Ontario and Zacate: AMD launches first Fusion chip to market


AMD's Ontario and Zacate CPUs have a small die area and are optimized for low power consumption.

AMD In advance of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) In Las Vegas (6 to 9 January) its first CPUs with integrated graphics on the unit. Thus equipped netbooks will be available later this month.

The two previously under the name Ontario and Zacate known CPU families are part of the Brazos platform. They come as C-and E-series on the market.

The C-Series (9 Watt TDP) AMD will compete in the netbook segment, currently dominated by Intel's Atom. This will especially help a much more powerful DirectX 11 graphics.

The E-Series with 18 watt TDP is aimed at entry-level notebooks and desktops, where, for example, chips such as the Intel Pentium 6000 (35 watts TDP) are installed. AMD wants to score in this segment with longer battery life. The graphics performance is the first test, according to the 6000th of a Pentium

The new CPUs in AMD parlance APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) based on the new Bobcat-developed core, which is significantly more energy efficient should be used for years as the K8 kernel. AMD uses the integrated GPU to accelerate next 3D applications and software such as video encoder. The processors are manufactured in 40-nanometer process in the contract manufacturer TSMC.

Hardware partners include Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba. Product announcements are expected during the CES.

In developing the Brazos platform a lower power consumption was the focus. The mainstream market, AMD plans to tackle with Llano. Llano integrated on a Phenom, the four derived scores and a DirectX 11 graphics. The first systems will be available in the third quarter of 2011.

Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350 Camera Review, via digitalcamerabattery.us blog

sony-a350-a200

Sony plans to aggressively attack the market with a number of new DSLR SLR cameras is no secret. We had the opportunity to get their hands on the new Alfa 350 and Alfa 200’s again. Here are our first impressions of this very close family, including Sony’s interesting solution to the problem of prolonged exposure time cycle with Live View.

The Sony Alpha A350 offers new technology that makes images faster, easier and more familiar for users of digital SLR cameras for the first time. "According to the press release from Sony.

Note: Most of our findings are also applicable to the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300, also presented at the PMA and is essentially a version of 10-megapixel sensor of the Sony A350, with a lower price.

As for what Sony is promoting the main event of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 digital, including;

  • Very high resolution 14.2 effective megapixels for beautiful images of the Convention detail, rich tones and bright colors
  • Large LCD high-resolution 2.7-inch two-way leveling fire for freedom and comfort at different angles
  • Quick AF Live View autofocus quick and accurate and responsive AF performance even with fast moving objects
  • Improved in-camera Super SteadyShot to reduce vibration.

dslr-a350

The Sony A350 features a new 14.2 megapixel sensor. There is a multiplier of 1.5 x focal length lens is used to obtain the equivalent field of view (FOV) in 35mm terms. Sony Alpha A350 SLR sweet with DT 18-70mm aperture-priority, that large JPEG, the size of 18 mm, 1 / 50 sec at f/5.6, ISO 200, WB Fluorescent central point cut from the lens.

The Alpha DSLR-A350 features a 14.2 megapixel CCD sensor, Live View, a vertical swivel screen, and like all Alpha DSLR-integrated sports anti-shake sensor offset establishments participating in the work aimed to set. It’s just the house or as a kit with the lens Sony DT 18-70mm.

Interestingly, this is not the main sensor, Live View facilities includes, but integrates a secondary sensor in the viewfinder. Sony has broken the traditional Live View systems in the setting of additional sensor in the viewfinder with a tilt mechanism that directs the light is, either through traditional eye. The advantage is not related to the conventional AF in Live View-bypass, so that the autofocus-A350 as fast as you normally would, without interruption or noise.

Making life even more useful view is that a retractable screen can be tilted vertically to allow wide-angle high or low easily. The A350’s screen can not turn the page, or turn on the face, but still a very flexible function.

Like all Alpha DSLRs, the sensor is located on the main platform for moving a mounted adjustable to compensate for camera shake. You do not see the effect on the viewer - or in Live View - but it gets to work with everyone who is going. This not only saves money, it means that you are the stabilization of the lenses that most manufacturers are not suitable as a benefit stabilization system as a standard 50 mm models.

Thu, 07 Apr 2011 01:44:00 -0700 Lose the fear of Linux with VirtualBox (II) http://sunbattery.posterous.com/lose-the-fear-of-linux-with-virtualbox-ii http://sunbattery.posterous.com/lose-the-fear-of-linux-with-virtualbox-ii

Lose the fear of Linux with VirtualBox (II)

In the article Lose the fear of Linux with VirtualBox saw how to create a virtual machine and how to configure it.

A virtual machine emulates all computer components. This is very useful for testing software and operating systems without fear that your computer or our personal files are damaged.

But now we have the most important: install Ubuntu within the virtual machine. Then you will see the steps to install Ubuntu in a VirtualBox virtual machine. However, these steps can serve us well for most Linux distributions, and even install on a real computer.

Step 1: Turn on the virtual machine

Before that, we add the ISO image of Ubuntu, downloaded previously, in Settings> CD / DVD-ROM> ISO image file . Then from the main window, select the Ubuntu machine and click Start.

When you turn on the machine, it will recognize the Ubuntu CD, because virtual hard disk there is nothing installed. The first thing you see will be the list of available languages, including Spanish.

The menu shows us several options. Want to try Ubuntu without installing it? Choose Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer . From there you can access the installer at any time. Would you rather cut to the chase and install Ubuntu in VirtualBox? Then select Install Ubuntu .

Step 2: Configure the installation to your liking

The first choices to find during the graphical installation is common in other Linux installations. Indicate what time zone is ours, what keyboard we use (to use the n or c with no problems) or even the model of mouse or monitor.

Step 3: Partition your Disk

This step is the most dramatic and feared by anyone not used to it, as we run the risk of deleting your data or delete the previous installation. In the virtual machine there is nothing to fear. In addition, our virtual hard disk is empty. But in any case, Ubuntu has a handy wizard that lets you leave the partition intact and Ubuntu used and dedicated to the empty space, all automatically.

But if you want you can partition the disk as you like, taking into account these minimum requirements:

* A primary partition for the system, mounted as / (root). Recommended, 7 GB

* A partition Swap , accessible from Ubuntu, but it uses as auxiliary memory. Recommended, 1 GB

* Optional. A partition for your files and program settings, mounted as / home .

Step 4: User and Administrator

Ubuntu, like all Linux distributions, creating a private space for each person accessing the system. Each user must have their own, so this step will create a username and password.

In addition, we add a password for root or administrator , who can do and undo any configuration of Ubuntu and manage other user accounts.

A recommendation, used a unique password for Root, different from those used by other users.

Disadvantages of using Linux in a virtual machine

We have seen what are the advantages of running Linux in a virtual machine. If anything happens to the machine, your computer will free , and our documents. In addition, we use two operating systems at once .

But not all benefits. To begin, we can find integration problems , as the sound not work, unable to share files between OS and virtual machine or the screen resolution is not adequate.

And the main problem, VirtualBox does not emulate 3D acceleration , so some games do not work in the virtual machine. This includes the spectacular visual effects of Ubuntu and other distributions that use Compiz.

In the third and last part of the series on VirtualBox will see some tricks to solve problems that we find to integrate Linux in VirtualBox with Windows and Mac.

Fri, 01 Apr 2011 01:46:00 -0700 Five enhancements to Explorer context menu http://sunbattery.posterous.com/five-enhancements-to-explorer-context-menu http://sunbattery.posterous.com/five-enhancements-to-explorer-context-menu

Five enhancements to Explorer context menu

When you click the right mouse buttonAlmost always brings up a menu with a handful of options. This box is called a graceful little 'context menu' - or 'menu' right 'for friends. In Windows, to invoke, you can also use key Tecla Menuor combination Control + Shift + F10.

The contextual menu is known and used by far is the Windows Explorer, which allows you to perform operations with files and folders typical. Many programs also will add their own commands, with often disastrous results, as the menu goes from being a bland box to an unmanageable monster.

For your available file explorer contextual menu neat and productiveWe will recommend, in five categories, tools that we believe, if not indispensable, highly recommended.

1. Add a complete package of tools

FileMenu ToolsInstead of adding a single function, some programs contain several utilities grouped in a single package. This is the case FileMenu Tools, Open + + or Qwiktulz. Qwiktulz is the only one that does not add a separate section, adding the fifteen functions in the root of the Explorer menu. Open + + offers greater flexibility, but includes fewer items.

FileMenu Tools is the best. Not only in Spanish but has a great panel, from which you can manage the menu 'Send to' command to modify other applications and manage their own, which include functions to copy and change attributes, split and join files, destroyed and many more.

2. Convert and edit multimedia files

dMCOne of the more powerful features you can access the contextual menu is the conversion of files. An example is dMC - Or dBpowerAMP Music Converter - a powerful audio converter that lets you move songs from one format to another in two clicks. For video you have VIDEOzilla, One of the few converters that have a good integration with Explorer. Before proceeding, VideoInspector will provide all the information you need about a particular video.

Image manipulation, we have more tools yet. To resize or convert images you can choose between VSO Image Resizer, Morz Image Converter, Right Click Image Converter or Image Converter Plus. The first two are free, and while that Morz Image Converter can say it is light and versatile enough, we can not stop praising VSO Image Resizer by the elegance of its interface and the number of accessible functions: conversion, resizing, optimization and even a filter.

3. Upload or move files in a flash

RightLoadMove files with the context menu is another much needed role. To upload to a remote FTP server with excellent test RightLoad, Upload Express or Fling. While Fling is more focused on the timing, RightLoad (formerly known as ShellFTP) is perhaps the most intuitive and powerful option, can upload multiple files at once, create thumbnails of images before upload and manage multiple profiles in a single menu.

For other items, the selection diversifies. Flickr sendto Upload images to the popular online photo storage, while Send To GMail notable advantage of the Google mail space to save files. UniUpload is even more interesting because it adds options to upload images to ImageShack and files to MediaFire. If you run short, then download SendToAny, Which will add a submenu to 'Send to' compatible with any route possible. What if you need the previous listing of a directory? Filelist are created for you in a second, ready to print.

4. Rapidly increases your safety

VirusTotal UploaderThe speed of the contextual menu makes it an ideal place in which to place security options. The vast majority of antivirus programs already do, but there are still unexplored areas. If you want to stay quiet VirusTotal Uploader is a supplement that you will like. What it does is upload any file to the VirusTotal page for more than thirty antivirus analyze both their content.

If you want to protect your files with a password, we recommend FileProtector AndrosaCompatible with several standard algorithms. For Secure EraseAnother important facet of computer security, check out DeleteOnClick, EZ Wipe or Eraser. Eraser is the most complete and reliable of the three. And if there are files that refuse to be erased or tampered with, look no further, Unlocker Get what you need. To check hash files, the most complete is FileVerifier + +, With support for over twenty algorithms.

5. Not everything is add ...

ShellMenuViewIf you consider that the context menu has become overpopulated can use some cleaning tools. The more powerful ShellMenuViewBut you can also try Context Menu Editor and MenuMaid.

Besides being portable, ShellMenuView is the most comprehensive and less destructive of the three. Each item can be quickly deactivated and reactivated F7 to F8, or open the Registry Editor F6.

Surely we have made some trick or some application in the pipeline. What are your favorite utilities context menu? Is there some of which you can not do without?

The good: Internal roll cage protects LCD; 802.11n Wi-Fi for faster wireless throughput; very small A/C adaptor adds little to overall travel weight; Intel's Active Management Technology provides remote support.

The bad: New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsize performance gains.

The bottom line: Lenovo's 14-inch ThinkPad T61 shaves a few millimeters off the company's more mainstream R-series laptops, but still boasts the same, solid ThinkPad DNA along with IT-friendly features by way of Intel's new Centrino Pro platform.

Design and Build

The ThinkPad T61 is a premium product with a durable build, it is geared towards business users or simply those willing to pay a bit more to get something that won't fall apart after 1-year of use. For somebody that travels a lot or relies on their notebook to earn a livelihood, the build and reliability factor is probably more important than having the latest and greatest components inside.

The keyboard remains the same between the T61 and T60 — meaning it's once again excellent. The only difference is that now there's more room on the keyboard side areas since the notebook body is wider, the speakers have been relocated to this extra real estate. The keyboard is spill proof and has two drain holes to make sure if you do happen to spill your morning Starbucks coffee, the liquid is carried away from sensitive components and out through the bottom of the notebook.

The hard drive is protected within the magnesium roll cage and shock mounted. Even if your T61 is dropped the included Active Protection System (APS) software will work with the on board accelerometer to detect a fall situation and end hard drive activity to prevent data loss.

Screen

The new widescreen format screen for the 14.1″ T-series is either good, bad or somewhere in between depending on your personal preference. Lenovo will try and convince you widescreen offers more screen real estate and so it's better, the reality is the guys making the LCD screens are forcing it down the throats of the PC manufacturers because it's cheaper to make widescreen LCDs.

The particular screen I got is a WXGA+ resolution (1440 x 900). It provides easy viewing and you can fit a good amount on the screen, so no complaints on that front. The screen is crisp and there are no issues with graininess. The matte finish ensures there's little to no glare in office lighting situations.

Processor and Performance

The ThinkPad T61 now uses the Intel Centrino Duo (Santa Rosa) platform. You get a faster processor front side bus (800MHz), more processor cache (4MB) and an improved integrated graphics solution in the form of the Intel X3100. If all that talk is nonsense to you, then suffice it to say the T61 offers newer and better processing components than the T60. Will this performance be perceivable in helping to run MS Word faster? No of course not, but certain processor intensive tasks such as encoding video will be faster. And even if you won't be utilizing every ounce of processing power, just knowing the processor is faster and you're on top of the game is enough to make people like myself want to buy it.

Battery Life

One thing that's always a concern with a new platform is battery life. Reading the first reviews that came out about the T61 sounded like gloom and doom with reports of 2 hour battery life. It seems most of the initial reviews were done using very power hungry dedicated graphics solutions and with a 4-cell battery.

I had the opportunity to test a larger 6-cell battery on an integrated graphics system, and got 3 hours and 41 minutes of battery life under what I would deem normal usage. I was using the T61 with screen brightness set to half or lower, Vista battery optimized setting, wireless off to get this number. In a torture test, I set the screen brightness to top level, put in a DVD (Stargate) and played it until the battery hit 5% and the PC went to sleep 鈥?which happened after exactly 2 hours 15 minutes. I wouldn't call that bad, it'll get you through most movies.

The downside of a 6-cell battery is that it sticks out of the back (see pics) and weighs more, but I'm always be willing to carry a bit more weight for an extra hour of battery life. A positive comment that should be made is the power adapter is nice and small, it's actually the same size as the X60 ultraportable series adapter.

Keyboard / Touchpad / Pointing Stick

The ThinkPad T-series hasn't changed too much over time, and that's a good thing, there's no use changing something that's just right. The ThinkPad keyboard is one of, if not the best, notebook keyboards out there. There's zero flex, every key feels individual, every key has great travel/feedback and the keyboard is full-size.

The T61 has a pointing stick, I love using this and find it much easier than the provided touchpad — it makes it so you can move the cursor around the screen without having to lift your hand from the keys, a much faster and easier to control style of input. But the great thing is that if the pointing stick isn't your cup of tea then you've got the touchpad as well.

Wireless

The ThinkPad T61 uses the Intel 4965 wireless chip that offers 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless reception. All of your bases are covered there, and the greater range 802.11n offers is on the table if you have an 802.11n router. The range of the ThinkPad is theoretically greater now that the lid material has changed to plastic too. The antenna is run up through the lid for better reception you see, and the new lid material allows radio waves to reach the antenna more easily. I was only able to test up to 100-feet away from my NetGear WGR614 802.11g wireless router, which I despise for its bad performance and tendency to drop connections, but the T61 worked just fine with it and I never suffered a connection drop and throughput was consistently good.
