Ulead VideoStudio 10 Plus

VideoStudio 10 Plus is the latest release of Ulead’s popular video-editing and DVD-authoring software It has a number of new advanced features. What impresses me most are the enhancements Ulead incorporated in the basic tools and functions that makes the capturing and editing jobs much easier and faster. VideoStudioo 10 Plus now offers three program options: the VideoStudio Editor designed for advanced users; the Movie Wizard for beginners; and the new DV-to-DVD Wizard with the capability of burning a DVD directly from an entire tape without scanning or capturing to the hard drive.

The new Editor’s interface has a large preview window on one side, and the Library and Option Panels conveniently placed on the other. It offers four different interface layouts for the viewer to choose from. Ulead has greatly improved the processing speed. Now you can start playing the clip or the project on the preview window almost instantly with one click of the play button. Ulead has added a scrolling Timeline ruler and tracking indicator as I suggested in my version 8 review. But the indicator re-scrolls repeatedly from the middle of the ruler. I would prefer to see the indicator stay put with the ruler scrolling.

The Timeline scale slider is a much-improved tool to adjust the ruler scale. By adjusting the ruler to the frame-size scale, you can identify accurately the frames you want to trim from the video clip. The Timeline ruler bar also has a provision to set (or remove) chapter markers, which is much more convenient than setting the markers while previewing the project. Rip Editing is another convenient feature. Once enabled, the positions of the media files you inserted in all the tracks are locked to the clips in the video track. Hence, you do not have to reposition these files if you drag and drop new clips into the video track or remove unwanted ones from it.

VideoStudio 10 Plus now offers 6 overlay tracks. You can resize, reposition or apply animations, masks or video effects to the clips in the overlay tracks. In addition, you can use the Chroma Key function to create Alpha channel clips or images with a transparent background (only from those with a solid color background). With 6 overlay tracks, you can produce multiple-pictures-in-picture video clips or still images.

The Audio functions have not changed much from the previous versions except the new added 5.1 Dolby Digital support and the Pitch Shift filter that raises or lowers the pitch of the audio clips.

Two other noteworthy features are the Ad-Zapper and the DV Quick Scan. Ad-Zapper automatically detects commercials in TV programs for easy removal. The DV Quick Scan function allows you to scan the DV tape at speeds up to 6X and select the scenes you want to keep in your movie for later batch capture.

• Adjusted too much? Click Reset or Undo.
3. Add/Remove Elements

• Click Crop to remove the excess
4. Add Effects to the Image
Multiple effects can be found in the EasyPallete Gallery and Libraries: Lighting, Rain Drops, Styles, Photographic techniques, Artistic Effects, and more
• Open the EasyPallette Select the image (click on it) Select an effect Click and drag the effect to the image
5.Save and Compress the Image
Note: Always save the original file in case you want to work on it again later without (a) having to recreate it and/or (b) loosing image quality. Do NOT ftp uncompressed files to the Web or use them in Web pages
• File Save As on the Menu bar
• Assign an appropriate image file name
• Set the image Type as .jpg/.jpeg/.jpe
• Click Options and compress the image according to the use and current District standards OK Save -or- Tool Bar: Tool Panel: (Original Image)

Saving Images for the Web
• Evaluate the use of the Image….will it be only for the Web? Image quality for the computer monitor is 96 dots per inch (dpi). However, to increase quality while being file-size-conscious, we generally shoot for resolution of 100-110 dpi.
• Resize the image with the Transform Tool to reduce its actual overall size (measurement). Use the padlock icon to retain image proportion during sizing. Remember, web pages are measured in pixels and the typical web page is 700 pixels wide by 500 pixels tall or smaller.
• Adjust Compression so that File Size is no more than 20-30kb. Compression levels above 80-85% should not drastically affect the image quality.

Saving Images for PowerPoint or Paper
• PowerPoint
o Maintain a high image resolution (400dpi+) because it will be blown-up larger-than-life.
o Avoid distortion when it is projected on-screen, by setting the Size at 4-6 inches – not pixels.
• Paper
o District color inkjet printers generally have a resolution of 300 dpi - higher for color laser printers. Tailor images intended for print with an appropriate resolution; remember higher resolution = larger file.
o Generally, 150-200dpi is acceptable for print, especially if placed on a Web site for distribution.

CasaTunes Getting Started Guide

The purpose of this guide is to take you step-by-step through the CasaTunes installation. These steps include:
1. Determining your configuration setup
2. Completing your CasaTunes worksheets
3. Setting up your hardware for CasaTunes
4. Installing the CasaTunes software
5. Configuring your CasaTunes software

Determining your configuration setup
Before proceeding to use CasaTunes, you need to decide which PC you are going to install the CasaTunes Multi-Room Music Server on. This guide assumes your multi-room music system is already installed.

In order for CasaTunes to function correctly, you must connect the audio outputs from your music server to the source inputs on your music system, and you must also setup a serial connection from your music server to your music system in order for CasaTunes to be able to control your music system.

There are two different installation options to choose from.
Option 1
You can physically locate your CasaTunes Music Server PC next to your multi- room music system. With this option you must connect the outputs from your sound card to the source inputs on your music system. If you are using a sound card that supports more than one stereo output, you can connect each of these stereo outputs to a different input source on your music system.

Your CasaTunes Music Server PC will also need to have at least one serial port (sometimes referred to as a COM or RS232 port). You must connect a serial cable from the serial port on the PC to the serial port on the music system. The serial port on your music system is typically located on the rear of the device.

Option 2
You can use one or more Barix Exstreamer devices, or networked music players with CasaTunes. The advantage of using these devices is it allows you to use any PC in your home as your CasaTunes music server, and you do not have to physically locate the PC next to your music system.
