A Better Video Editor Than Windows Movie Maker

A Better Video Editor Than Windows Movie Maker That’s Free & Supports YouTube

VideoSpin is free video editing software that allows you to create your own movie clips in minutes using your own videos and pictures.

With this fully functional free video editing software you can:
Quickly and easily start video editing
Mix your videos, photos and music together
Add video titles and transitions
Upload your videos to YouTube and Yahoo! videos
Edit and add your videos to your website
And it's FREE!

Video Spin (based on Pinnacle Studio) is a free video editing software for Windows that lets you make movies with no learning curve.

You simply drag-n-drop your video clips, digital photographs and music files onto the VideoSpin timeline, add a few 2D transitions, sound effect and your movie is ready.


With Video Spin, you can also create scrolling titles for your videos using the powerful title editor - a privilege available only in expensive video editing programs like Adobe Premiere. (see screenshot gallery below)

And once you are done editing the video, it can directly upload the clip to online video sharing sites like Yahoo! Videos or YouTube. Another surprise - Video Spin can even output movies directly in Flash Video (flv) format.

Windows Movie Maker from Microsoft almost rules the market for free video editors but after playing with with Video Spin for some time, I consider this a more elegant solution than Movie Maker. (Related: "The Best Online Video Editors")



Other than creating home videos, here are some alternate uses of Video Spin:

1. For editing Screencast Videos when you are using a basic screencasting software.

2. For converting between video formats - Video Spin supports AVI, WMV, FLV, MP4.

3. For extracting MP3 songs from Music Video - Video Spin can save any video file as an MP3 audio file.

4. For producing video podcasts (vlogs), stop motion animations and time lapse movies.

The software can directly import photographs from external media devices like the Digital Camera, iPod or the USB drive but the video footage cannot be , the files transfer the files from the camcorder to the hard drive. You will also need an external program to burn videos to DVD.

VideoSpin is a freeware video editor with no limits. The download is ~150 MB and the software works only on XP with SP2 or Windows Vista.

Pinnacle make money from VideoSpin by selling additional codecs that you will need for creating videos in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 format. But if you are satisfied with creating or editing AVI and Windows Media files, you need not purchase these codecs.

Virtual Video Mixer

Untuk membuat live event dengan menggunakan 2 kamera atau lebih, maka kita tentu saja membutuhkan mixer video agar bisa mengatur dengan baik video yang akan kita tampilkan di layar.
Mixer video yang ada dipasaran harganya sangat mahal,
Agar bisa menggunakan mixer video dengan murah meriah maka coba kita memakai software virtual video mixer, yaitu software yang bisa membuat pc kita seolah2 menjadi mixer video.

Akhirnya setelah membaca di beberapa forum, saya menemukan beberapa software yang salah satunya adalah Elektronika Live, sebuah software pengolah video secara live.

Diskripsi aslinya seperti ini :

” Elektronika live is video software for VJs and live visual performers. it can be used in real time when DJs are playing, or integrated using midi into a live audio/video set. you can also link elektronika to any external midi sequencer and create midi control loops for elektronika using the sequencer which can then be turned on and off during a show”.

Berikut ini tampilannya:




Bisa didownload di   http://aestesis.org/

Software ini bisa digunakan untuk 8 channel.
Dengan live input antara bisa berasal dari firewire ataupun tv tunner.
Pernah Dicoba dengan menggunakan 2 buah tv tuner (menggunakan 2 buah kamera).
Dan hasilnya juga cukup memuaskan.

Fitur-fitur Elektronika Live antara lain:
- Kita bisa menggunakan efek2 saat perpindahan video
- Menambah text dan gambar secara realtime
- Memainkan video,audio, movie flash yang ada dihardisk

Namun software ini membutuhkan pc yang spesifikasinya cukup tinggi.
Dianjurkan menggunakan Dual Core dan ram 2 giga. Saya mencoba dengan menggunakan IP 4 3.0 HT dengan menggunakan ram 1 giga, dan bisa berjalan dengan lancar namun video outputnya ada delay, sekitar kurang dari 1 detik dan semakin lama semakin berat.
Tapi lumayan juga sebagai pengganti hardware video mixer yang harganya selangit.

ETHERNET CABLE: COLOR-CODE STANDARDS

ETHERNET CABLE: COLOR-CODE STANDARDS

The information listed here is to assist Network Administrators in the color coding of Ethernet cables.
Please be aware that modifying Ethernet cables improperly may cause loss of network connectivity.
Use this information at your own risk, and insure all connectors and cables are modified in accordance with standards.
The Internet Centre and its affiliates cannot be held liable for the use of this information in whole or in part.

T-568A Straight-Through Ethernet Cable


The T-568A standard is supposed to be used in new network installations. Most off-the-shelf Ethernet cables are still of the T-568B standard; however, it makes absolutely no functional difference in which you choose.

T-568B Straight-Through Ethernet Cable



A good way of remembering how to wire a Crossover Ethernet cable is to wire one end using the T-568A standard and the other end using the T-568B standard.
Another way of remembering the color coding is to simply switch the Green set of wires in place with the Orange set of wires. Specifically, switch the solid Green (G) with the solid Orange, and switch the green/white with the orange/white.

Ethernet Cable Instructions:

Pull the cable off the reel to the desired length and cut. If you are pulling cables through holes, its easier to attach the RJ-45 plugs after the cable is pulled. The total length of wire segments between a PC and a hub or between two PC's cannot exceed 100 Meters (328 feet) for 100BASE-TX and 300 Meters for 10BASE-T.
Start on one end and strip the cable jacket off (about 1") using a stripper or a knife. Be extra careful not to nick the wires, otherwise you will need to start over.
Spread, untwist the pairs, and arrange the wires in the order of the desired cable end. Flatten the end between your thumb and forefinger. Trim the ends of the wires so they are even with one another, leaving only 1/2" in wire length. If it is longer than 1/2" it will be out-of-spec and susceptible to crosstalk. Flatten and insure there are no spaces between wires.
Hold the RJ-45 plug with the clip facing down or away from you. Push the wires firmly into the plug. Inspect each wire is flat even at the front of the plug. Check the order of the wires. Double check again. Check that the jacket is fitted right against the stop of the plug. Carefully hold the wire and firmly crimp the RJ-45 with the crimper.
Check the color orientation, check that the crimped connection is not about to come apart, and check to see if the wires are flat against the front of the plug. If even one of these are incorrect, you will have to start over. Test the Ethernet cable.

Ethernet Cable Tips :
A straight-thru cable has identical ends.
A crossover cable has different ends.
A straight-thru is used as a patch cord in Ethernet connections.
A crossover is used to connect two Ethernet devices without a hub or for connecting two hubs.
A crossover has one end with the Orange set of wires switched with the Green set.
Odd numbered pins are always striped, even numbered pins are always solid colored.
Looking at the RJ-45 with the clip facing away from you, Brown is always on the right, and pin 1 is on the left.
No more than 1/2" of the Ethernet cable should be untwisted otherwise it will be susceptible to crosstalk.
Do not deform, do not bend, do not stretch, do not staple, do not run parallel with power cables, and do not run Ethernet cables near noise inducing components.

Basic Theory:



By looking at a T-568A UTP Ethernet straight-thru cable and an Ethernet crossover cable with a T-568B end, we see that the TX (transmitter) pins are connected to the corresponding RX (receiver) pins, plus to plus and minus to minus.
You can also see that both the blue and brown wire pairs on pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used in either standard.
What you may not realize is that, these same pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used or required in 100BASE-TX as well.
So why bother using these wires, well for one thing its simply easier to make a connection with all the wires grouped together. Otherwise you'll be spending time trying to fit those tiny little wires into each of the corresponding holes in the RJ-45 connector.
