Working with LOG Footage & Creating Your Own Lookup TablesRichard Harrington
Capturing video in log tells the camera to record more from a scene—meaning you’ll be able to recover more from your highlights and shadows and adjust more colors and tones in post-production. In this course, join Rich Harrington as he shows you how to record video in log, process the files, and complete a post-production workflow.

Video Production Using Open Source ToolsCrazed Mule
Abstract: Over the last decade, farms of Linux servers have powered the production of major motion pictures. Today, individuals can use Linux to produce and distribute video in numerous formats; for example, YouTube, iTunes, DVD, and Blu Ray. Linux is no longer a hobbyists' tool, but a powerful production system that can be custom tailored. However, setting up a system like this is not for the faint of heart. Video and audio encoding and compression schemes can drive one to drink. Editing software in Linux is not polished, but difficulties can be overcome with perseverance. I will attempt to show how to create a working production workflow using Fedora, Cinelerra and various open source tools to produce a video ready for YouTube, iTunes, DVD and Vimeo.
Sharing the content of your screen has become a standard for both prerecorded and live video. Whether you’re teaching software, giving a slide presentation, or hosting a business meeting this is a great technique. Rich Harrington has been producing screencasts for 20 years and clients including Apple, Adobe, Microsoft, Skylum, and many more.
In this course, he offers practical advice for organizing, producing, and running a screencast or webinar that works with most hosting platforms. He explores choosing the right software tools and web cameras. Learn how to get the best video and sound from a computer screen.

Why you should record your zoom meetings with obsPaul Richards
In this presentation, you will learn how to dramatically increase the quality of your Zoom meeting recordings. In our last blog post and video, you can learn about the various video recording options available in Zoom. Our tests show that cloud recordings are generally less than 1 Mbps and local recordings are less than 2 Mbps. A bitrate can be used to rank the quality of a video recording in most scenarios and Zoom’s recording bitrate is quite low. Usually, a low bit-rate for video recordings can result in pixelation and general low quality.
Using video production software like OBS, Wirecast, or vMix you can gain the ability to choose a higher quality bit-rate for your recordings. Video production software like OBS also allows you to enhance the quality of your videos with audio enhancements and video production features such as transitions and scene organizations. Here is a small list of the benefits of using OBS for video recordings versus Zoom.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Welcome
Your instructors Started as photoj. video for about 5 years. Just finished making a feature length doc
There are a lot of different kinds of movies you might want to make. We’re going to focus on the documentary form since it’s a good jumping off point for the others. And its what I know how to do! Gonna watch a short: We’re trying to learn the language of video. All know how to understand it b/c we watch it all the time, but we don’t know how to speak it. Pay attention to what goes into making it. What elements are there? Its a tiny proj about rap groups in Syria. A bit outdated b/c obvs there’s civil war going on there now.
Ambitious agenda. People might say we’re crazy, But why not aim high? W/ patience you’ll walk away knowing the basics. There are a lot of different kinds of movies you might want to make. We’re going to focus on the documentary form since it’s a good jumping off point for the others. And its what I know how to do! 1:00-1:30 looking at examples 1:30-2:15 getting ready to shoot 2:15-2:45 shooting interviews/talking heads 2:45-3:00 back together more talking about b roll 3:00-3:30 shooting b-roll/scenes 3:30-4:00 editing project setup 4:00-5:15 hands on editing 5:15-6:00 export and upload Gonna watch a short: We’re trying to learn the language of video. All know how to understand it b/c we watch it all the time, but we don’t know how to speak it. Pay attention to what goes into making it. What elements are there? Its a tiny proj about rap groups in Syria. A bit outdated b/c obvs there’s civil war going on there now.
We watch videos all the time but might not think very hard about what’s really there. Elicit: What are the two main components of any video? Visuals and Sounds Brainstorm a list on the board Sounds without visuals:
Elicit: what did you see This is why Audio is so important -- you can cover good audio with any visual, but you can’t hide bad audio
One of basic components of any non-fiction video is person talking on screen -- aka Interview What we’ll do first today
Sometimes they overlap (B roll over interviews) B roll can be places, object, people doing things. Pretty much anything other than sit down interview.
When we watch this one, start thinking about those elements. How was it different? Interview was more like a direct address Only one scene
What do these to shots have in common? Lit from the side, subject looking across, rule of thirds, not looking at camera Lighting -- there are lighting setups but easiest to use natural or ambient light. Generally light from the side. Rule of thirds Deep background is better. Diagram of how to set that up Here’s the rules, now you can break them.
Has anyone heard of this? Divide the canvas into thirds both ways.
Lighting -- there are lighting setups but easiest to use natural or ambient light. Generally light from the side. Rule of thirds -- What video we just watched broke this rule? Deep background is better. Diagram of how to set that up Here’s the rules, now you can break them.
What we record today can either be an interview, or more of a monologue, but if you do an interview, here are a few tips: What’s an example of an open question? Not ‘do you like going to UW’ “ Why do you like going to UW’ or Do you like going to UW, and why or why not’ What’s your name? Introduce yourself and tell me one thing you like about UW
In a minute you’ll have to choose, so start thinking about which you prefer. We’re going to have a pretty even split, so please be flexible. Both HD, both perform well, we’re not going to get that deep into the more advanced stuff you can do with a DSLR anyways
Here are the steps we’re going to go through. Today we’re just doing step one, don’t need to think too much about the others but we need to do it right so that steps 2-6 are easier
We need to know a little more about our recording setup: Two sizes of HD, One size of SD (also widescreen SD) Still photos Everything is moving into 16:9 world. Best way to go. What bout Kid Prez? Super wide. Cropped in post. 2.35:1
Long story short, it doesn’t really matter, just keep it the same This p means progressive i means interlaced Don’t worry about it!
Always shoot the same and match the way you shot when you import and edit.
Walk through these steps with them on Zi8 Pair Up and decide which camera you want. We’ll bring it to you. Credit it people should be paired w/ credit people and v/v Lets go through setup together using Handout If there are T2i people stogs takes them next door
2:15-2:45pm Finally you get to do it! (Until 2:45) Pair people up. Capture at least 10 full sentences Why about this -- because that’s what we can get b-roll of! Remember to listen to what they say so you know what’s good later. We have to get good audio, so go out in the hall
How was the interview shot different? What B roll did you see?
Pop over to premiere to show b-roll covering cuts in interview We’re going to use it to cover up cuts in the audio see how he shows exactly what the sequence is narrating -- we’re can always be that literal though.
Shoot B-roll in sequences
We want to get a mix of these Ex: Wide shot of room, Medium Shot of Brad typing, Close of of hands on the keyboard
Another example, WS of guy rolling out of bed in the morning, Medium of him putting on tea kettle, close up of hands dipping the tea bag Compressing time.
Kneeled Down
Or just put the camera on the ground Why all this moving? To show us something our eyes don’t usually see!
Think about depth -- more than one element in the photo
Think about framing Look at professional photos, almost always many layers and stuff cut out of the frame.
Analyze the last B roll along these lines One last thing: Sequences. Narrative movies have them just like docs. A tiny story with a beginning middle and an end. Lets look at an example.
3:00 until 3:30 Audio is a little less important here, and we don’t have the mics for it, so use the internal mic Come back as soon as you’re done to start editing. Definitely by 3:30
Copy files/keep the tapes
Don’t do this quite yet! This is most important thing you’ll do today Telling the program what kind of footage we want use
Go through difft windows Bins Source/Preview Viewer Timeline Effects Toolbar
@4:00 I want everyone to go through a few steps with me, and then I’ll let you loose: Importing Files, Setting in and out points editing clips on the timeline (w arrow tool) using the blade tool to split clips Zooming in and out on timeline Volume up and down Overlapping audio and video tracks Adding transitions Let em go crazy for a few minutes and ask questions Maybe come back together for text on screen, depending on how it goes.
@5:15
There are literally hundreds of these but H.264 is magic -- what lets the HDSLR’s work ProRes is for using H.264 footage in FCP So is DVCPRO HD 720p, so its smaller (remember -- what does 720p mean?)
There are a lot of others too. For today you probably want to end up with an mp4. Easy to upload to vimeo and youtube
You can use any of these to compress The settings will be the same
These are the settings vimeo recommends. (Vimeo is like classy Youtube) Premiere is going to do this for you
So thats all the theroy, heres what you’re actually going to do.
Go to one of these two. Log in or create a new account Upload your file Check privacy settings Put in Keywords
Upload your vids to the vimeo group and then we’ll publish them on the comm site (if you want...)
