Seagate has a product they call Seagate Central, and they're marketing it as an easy solution to those of us who have media strewn all around the house. That's me! So, I'll definitely look into this. Meanwhile, here's a video with a catchy tune that tells all about it: http://youtu.be/iUyoti-82_E
This video shows how to capture the sound on you Mac computer, using a free download of Soundflower. The reason I watched this video was because it sounded automatically when I opened a page in MacWorld. This is VERY disconcerting - it forces one to quickly locate the mute sound button, if you don't want to wake up the household. Now I find something even more interesting. The code I copied here left no choices of dimension. Also, it is very "bloated". I wonder what all is included in its hidden recesses. SO - this is a test...
WARNING: The video shown here is NOT the one I viewed, and tried to copy! I was however able to tweak the size dimensions, but am not at all happy with this site. Not only is the video NOT the one I selected, but the link I copied (shown below the video) is NOT the link to the video, but rather to the page on which I was on when assaulted by the video. Alas, I shan't do this again.

It's amazing what one finds on the web. This video from Amara shows how you can "Caption, translate, subtitle and transcribe video". The company's goal is to make every video subtitle-able. Sounds like a laudable plan to me! There is a small hitch: YOU are the one who must type in the subtitles, and match them to the video. So, it's not effortless - but it is doable. And, in many instances, it will greatly enhance the value of your video.
Here's another quick video by Charles Rivera, in which he argues it's better to Focus on Progression, not perfection. This is especially applicable to web videographers, I presume...
One of my pet peeves is that the slideshows I make using Adobe's PhotoShop are NOT visible on iPhones or iPads. That means almost half of the world I want to share with can't see it. It also means I hesitate to even make slideshows anymore. Well, it seems there is a remedy: imbed an html 5 video player on your webpages, and copy the appropriate code. This allows your mp4 videos to play anywhere. (I assume that means slideshows too - I'll have to look into this...)
The following video, by Charles Rivera, shows How to Install an HTML 5 Video Player to your Site.
Now that the class is over, I'm still checking out audio and video editing tools! This next embedded widget shows a comparison between iMovie and Adobe Premiere Elements. The high marks go to Adobe's product. Why am I not surprised? Well, I'll check it out...
