Transitions, Titles, and Effects Thumbnail View In order to make the selection of Transitions, Titles, and Effects more intuitive, DaVinci Resolve now shows each effect as a thumbnail representation in addition to the text name. This allows the user to quickly scan through all the numerous options to select the appropriate effect visually, rather than remembering them based on name alone. You can now preview transitions and titles before you place them on the Timeline to quickly audition multiple options before making your final decision. Transitions Thumbnails To preview a transition before you place it into the Timeline, ensure that “Hover Scrub Preview” is checked in the Transitions option menu, then simply hover your pointer over any transition in the Transitions tab and move it across the thumbnail. The transition will preview in the Viewer using the two clips nearest the smart indicator in the Cut page, or the two clips nearest the the playhead in the Edit page. Scrubbing over a Transition Thumbnail previews the transition in the Viewer. Once you’ve chosen your transition, it can be applied by dragging it from the Transitions tab to any edit point on your Timeline in the Edit page. In the Cut page, you can either select the thumbnail and then select one of the transition alignment tools at the bottom of the Transitions tab, drag it directly to an edit point in the upper or lower Timelines, or simply double click the transition to insert it at the smart indicator position. Titles Thumbnails To audition titles before you place them into the Timeline, ensure that “Hover Scrub Preview” is checked in the Titles option menu, then simply hover your pointer over any thumbnail in the Titles tab. If the title is animated (i.e., Fusion titles), moving the pointer across the thumbnail will preview the animation. Once you’ve chosen your title, you can drag it from the Titles tab to your Timeline in the Edit page or in the Cut page to either the upper or lower Timelines, or use the editing selection modes at the bottom of the tab. Chapter – 1 General Improvements 8 Scrubbing over a Title Thumbnail previews the title in the Viewer. Effects Thumbnails A thumbnail icon now represents each specific effect available in DaVinci Resolve. Video Effects To preview a video effect before placing it on a clip, ensure that “Hover Scrub Preview” is checked in the Effects option menu, then simply hover your pointer over any thumbnail in the Effects tab and move it across the thumbnail. The effect will preview in the Viewer using its default parameters, and scrub through the clip that is selected in the Timeline. If no clip is selected then it will use the clip currently under the playhead. To activate a specific video effect on a clip, simply drag the thumbnail of the selected effect to a clip on the Timeline. In the Cut page, you can also double click the thumbnail to apply the effect to the selected clip. To adjust the effect’s parameters, open the Effects tab in the inspector. Scrubbing over an Effect Thumbnail previews that effect in the Viewer. Audio Effects To activate a specific audio effect on a clip, simply drag the thumbnail of the selected effect to a clip on the upper or lower Timelines in the Cut page, or onto a clip in an audio track on the Edit page. Once the effect has been dropped on a clip, its audio plug-in controls will open for you to adjust the plug-in’s parameters. Generators The various video generators included in DaVinci Resolve can be previewed by hovering your pointer over any thumbnail in the Generators tab. To edit a generator into your timeline, simply grab the thumbnail of the generator you wish to use, and place it in your Timeline in the Edit page, or in either the upper or lower Timelines in the Cut page. Chapter – 1 General Improvements 9 Improved Inspector The inspector has been redesigned for the Media, Cut, Edit, and Fairlight pages to make it easier to find specific controls and to adjust common settings for your clips. Instead of a long vertical list, different aspects of the inspector have now been organized into panels, with each controlling specific grouped sets of parameters for your clip. Inspector panels that are not applicable to your clip are grayed out. Methods of using controls in the inspector: To activate or deactivate a control: Click the toggle to the left of the control’s name. The orange dot on the right means the control is activated. A gray dot on the left means the control is deactivated. To reveal a control’s parameters: Double-click the control’s name. To reset controls to their defaults: Click the reset button to the right of the control’s name. Video The Video tab consists of commonly used controls to modify the size, opacity, motion, and timing of your clip. This tab is composed of the Composite, Transform, Smart Reframe, Cropping, Dynamic Zoom, Stabilization, Speed Change, Retime and Scaling, and Lens Correction controls. Smart Reframe is a new feature that’s described later in this document.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    STEPHEN COLBERT’S SUPER PAC AND THE GROWING ROLE OF COMEDY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE BY MELISSA CHANG, SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS ADVISER: CHRIS EDELSON, PROFESSOR IN THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS UNIVERSITY HONORS IN CLEG SPRING 2012 Dedicated to Professor Chris Edelson for his generous support and encouragement, and to Professor Lauren Feldman who inspired my capstone with her course on “Entertainment, Comedy, and Politics”. Thank you so, so much! 2 | C h a n g STEPHEN COLBERT’S SUPER PAC AND THE GROWING ROLE OF COMEDY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE Abstract: Comedy plays an increasingly legitimate role in the American political discourse as figures such as Stephen Colbert effectively use humor and satire to scrutinize politics and current events, and encourage the public to think more critically about how our government and leaders rule. In his response to the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) and the rise of Super PACs, Stephen Colbert has taken the lead in critiquing changes in campaign finance. This study analyzes segments from The Colbert Report and the Colbert Super PAC, identifying his message and tactics. This paper aims to demonstrate how Colbert pushes political satire to new heights by engaging in real life campaigns, thereby offering a legitimate voice in today’s political discourse. INTRODUCTION While political satire is not new, few have mastered this art like Stephen Colbert, whose originality and influence have catapulted him to the status of a pop culture icon. Never breaking character from his zany, blustering persona, Colbert has transformed the way Americans view politics by using comedy to draw attention to important issues of the day, critiquing and unpacking these issues in a digestible way for a wide audience.

IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

    A Novel Edge-Preserving Mesh-Based Method for Image Scaling

    A Novel Edge-Preserving Mesh-Based Method for Image Scaling Seyedali Mostafavian and Michael D. Adams Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC V8P 5C2, Canada [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract—In this paper, we present a novel image scaling no loss of image quality. One main problem in vector-based method that employs a mesh model that explicitly represents interpolation methods, however, is how to create a vector discontinuities in the image. Our method effectively addresses model which faithfully represents the raster image data and its the problem of preserving the sharpness of edges, which has always been a challenge, during image enlargement. We use important features such as edges. Among the many techniques a constrained Delaunay triangulation to generate the model to generate a vector image from a raster image, triangle and an approximating function that is continuous everywhere mesh models have become quite popular. With a triangle-mesh except across the image edges (i.e., discontinuities). The model model, the image domain is partitioned into a set of non- is then rasterized using a subdivision-based technique.

Then, the image comparisons and quantitative measures show that our method can greatly reduce the blurring artifacts that can arise during intensity function is approximated over each of the triangles. image enlargement and produce images that look more pleasant A mesh-generation method is required to choose a good subset to human observers, compared to the well-known bilinear and of sample points and to collect any critical data from the input bicubic methods.
