Imovie '09 Basics iMovie ‘09 Basics Website: http://etc.usf.edu/te/ iMovie ʻ09 is the video editing application included in iLife ʻ09. As with the previous version of iMovie, all of your clips are stored in one central location called the Event Library. To build a movie, drag clips from the Event Library into the project area and rearrange them as needed, then add photos from your iPhoto Library or a song from iTunes for your soundtrack. You can also record your own narration using iMovieʼs built-in recording tools, and easily add titles and transitions using drag and drop. iMovie ʼ09 adds a Precision Editor to help you fine-tune your edits, as well as advanced effects such as picture-in-picture and green screen. The new Video Stabilization feature can remove distracting camera shake from your video. iMovie saves all of your changes as you work, so you donʼt need to worry about losing your work if your computer crashes. The finished movie can be uploaded to YouTube, exported into a format that can be played on an iPod or iPhone, or burned to a DVD using iDVD. 1 2 3 4 5 6 The iMovie Interface 4.

  • FCS Remover User Manual 1
    FCS Remover User Manual 1 FCS Remover User Manual FCS Remover enables you to completely remove Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Server from your system. This is essential as a troubleshooting aid or when upgrading to a major new version of the software. Last updated 09/15/14 FCS Remover User Manual 2 Quick Start 1. You will be presented with the following screen upon launching the application: 2. If you wish to uninstall all components of Final Cut Studio and you have no other Apple Pro Apps such as Logic or Shake on your system, skip to Step 4. 3. If you only wish to remove certain components, use the check boxes to select and deselect them or use the Preset dropdown menu at the top of the window. Last updated 09/15/14 FCS Remover User Manual 3 The following presets are available: All – Selects all components. All Final Cut Studio / Express – This selects all Final Cut Studio / Express components and not Final Cut Server. All Final Cut Server – This selects all Final Cut Server components and not Final Cut Studio. Compressor and Qmaster Only – This selects only Compressor and Qmaster, as these are the most commonly reinstalled applications. Maximum Compatibility – This removes Final Cut Studio but does not remove Final Cut Studio components that are shared by other Apple ProApps such as Logic and Shake. This allows you to remove Final Cut Studio without harming your other ProApp installations. Receipts only – This only removes receipts. Receipts are used by the Final Cut Studio installer to keep track of what has been installed, so removing only receipts is a way of causing the installer to overwrite the original files on the disk without actually removing them.

    Accepted for publication in 2020 by the International Journal of Communication, ijoc.org (this version has the raw data in an appendix) Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media, and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the U.S. that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. It concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the U.S. maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but that as well there are underappreciated threats to it both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes an increasingly commercially-viable part of the media landscape, are its public-service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing, not only a range of podcasting practices, but an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on podcasting by enabling focused research in this area, permitting analysis of the sector in ways that permit thinking about the relationship of mission and business practice sector-wide.
