VideoPad

Hello friends!!
This is the last job from the evaluation!!! we had have to do a short film with a programme called videopad, here I explain you how is it!!
VideoPad is a video editing application developed by NCH Software for home and professional market. The program is complemented by the VirtualDub plug-ins that work with the software.
VideoPad is part of a package that integrates with other software created by NCH Software. This software includes WavePad, a sound editing program; MixPad, a good mix and PhotoPad program, an image editor.
VideoPad The interface consists of a menu bar at the top of the window that has pull-down menus in the headings, File, Edit and Help, under which you can modify the settings and save the projects in which we are working. Under  this menu bar arethere are lots of  adding icons such like, capture material, Narrating Insert blank, Subtitles, Preview, Save Movie, Options, Buy Online (limited to trial), and Help.
There is a section below and to the left of the list of media effects, transitions, overlay and tabs. The Media List tab allows the user to select a media that have been imported and see it from here can be added to the following timeline / storyboard through a simple 'Add' button simulated by a green arrow pointing below and also through a resistor 'and drop "feature. To the right of this section is an area from the reproduction timeline. Below these is the area where clips can be rearranged, transitions can be effects and effects added. There are two soundtracks available for use where just drag the audio file through the line soundtrack to add.
This program has seemed comfortable, useful and simple truth is that there are better programmes, such as Sony Vegas, but the truth is starting to go that is fine, I recommend using it. To make my video it  took me about two days to  conect all the recordings.

Well, here you have a tutorial, ans also my viedo, i hope you like it!!!

Pivot proyect

Hello friends!

I have done reciently a short animation in a programme called pivot, here i describe it and explain you haw to work with it:

Pivot is a free program for windows that lets you create and edit animations.You can for example:

• Draw characters.

• Create-frame by frame-short sequences with figures

GIF archives stick and export them.

• Set size and animation speed.

• Add funds and new characters.

• Save animations as gifs.

The basic character of Pivot Stickfigure Animator is a stick figure depicting a man. The attachment points, marked in red, are used to move or flex members figure; simply drag the item to the desired direction.

Pivot Tools

File Menu

New: create a new animation.

Open Animation: Load an existing animation.

Animaton Save: save the current animation.

Background Load: load a background image to use as a

animation format. bmp,. jpg o.gif.

Load Figure Type: load a Stick Figure File (PIV) a archico with a figure

animated

Load Sprite: load an image created in a drawing editor (. Bmp,. Jpg o.gif) Exit: close the program

Menu Options

From the Options menu, you can change the size of the box

animation by changing the values ​​of Width (W) and Height (H).

Playback commands

Play & Stop: start and stop the animation.

Repeat: repeat the animation continuously.

Frame Rate (FPS): the vertical scroll bar to modify the

animation speed (12 is standard).

White Black: background animation.

Stickman: Stickman last used.

Stickman editing tools

Edit: edit the stick.

Center: center the stick.

Flip: flip the stick.

Colour: give another color to stick.

100 or Scale: change the size of the stick. Example: 100 is the standard.

Front: sends the selected stick up for everyone else.

Back: Sends the selected stick to the bottom of all the others.

Next Frame: Lets go to the next frame (frame of the animation).

How do I move the sticks?

The attachment points marked red are used to move or flex Figure members. Drag the point to the desired direction. The orange dot in the center, moves the entire figure. For each movement you want to generate in the stick must be added a new frame or frame. Go to Next Frame and in that frame, generating a movement different from the previous. When you change the position of the figures reflected in the movement grayed previous frame.

To save the project

Go 1 - File

then 2 - Save animaton ...

3 - Choose where to save

Default is saved with a. Piv also allows to save gif

bmp or.

In my oppinion, this programe could be much more advantaged, I think it is very rudimentary and a litlle bit boring to do animations in this programe, it could be more dinamic, abyway, here you have soem examples and turorials:)

How to work in Prezi

Hi bloggers!! during this term we have learn a lot about networks. We have also learn how to use prezi, because we have done a presentation about wireless networks.

Prezi is a tool to create dynamic presentations, they are nonlineal, just the opposite from power point. We define where we want to move and place the items inside a large white canvas .We can make objects large, or make them small, approach them, put some text, images, videos, etc..

You don’t need to install anything if you do not want to. Prezi is in "the cloud." We can make the presentations online, but you can also download them.

Prezi gives you lots of options to enrich your work, for example:

-INSERT:  you can upload images, from our computer or from the web. Image types: jpg, png, gif, pdf or swf. We insert from our PC files: video, ppt, pdf ... The file cant be larger than 50MB.

-SHAPES, is another level, you can insert arrows, drawingsfree, etc. .. The fluorescent allows us to highlight a word or phrase.

-FRAME. We use it to enclose a group of ideas. It helps us to define sets of ideas, with brackets, loops, prominent, etc. we can improve navigation.

- PATH. Here we set the order of the items  in thepresentation. Sequenced with 1,2,3 ... we can change the order as we want to.

-COLORS & FONTS. They relate to the templates. There is a wizard (Theme Wizard), which helps us to customize the colors and fonts templates we have.

Anyway, here you have a presentation from official prezi webpage that explain you how to use it:

Networks terminology

Hi bloggers!! During this week, we have learn a lot about networks, how do they work, their advantages and disadvantages, the external materials we need to build them... and now, we must do a post about the terminology used in this area, all the abbrevations and acronyms so there you have a small summary:

PAN: personal area networks, it comunicates devices that are close bewteen them.

LAN: local area networks, a small area, like a higschool ot a endeavour.

MAN: Metropolitan area networks, a city

WAN: wide area metworks, they conect cities and countrys in diferent continents.

IP: an IP address is a numerical label that identifies an interface.

MAC: it identifies a device in a network.

ROUTER: they are the devices that conect several computer networks.

HUB: they are devices thar recives informatión and they they pass it to another computers, usually more than one.

SWICH: they are similar to HUBs, but in this case they just send the information to the computers witch the sender computer want to.

VPN: virtual private network, they cifrate personal data, like credit cards codes, adresses, pastwords etc...

OSI: open systems interconnect, it´s the protocol were the internet is bassed on.

QR Codes:

Our teacher has told us to look for some informarion about QR Codes, ok here you have a little summarize:

A QR code (quick response code) is a useful module that stores information in
a set of points or a bidimensional barcode created by the Japanese company
Denso Wave in 1994. It has three squares in the corners that allows to detect
the code’s position.

QR codes can be read from the PC, smartphone or tablet using screen captures
devices like scanners or cameras, we also need programs that are able to read

QR data and a connexion to the Internet for the directions web.

Well!! I have done another job about software!!! but it has a diference wiht the other one, I done this one in powerpoint :)

lSoftware  is a general term for the various kinds of programs used to operate computers and related devices. It’s also known as the logical equipment or software of a computer system, it includes all the necessary logic components that makes possible specific tasks, they are also the instructions that the computer needs to operate, but they don’t exist phisically, you can’t see or touch.

Age	Years	Characteristics
1ª	1950 - 1965	•They just correct and code •There wasn't a previous approach •They were developed ``a base de prueba y error´´ •There wasn't any type of documentation
2ª	1965 - 1972	•They try to make more simple the using code •Appears the multiprogramation and the multipurpose systems •The software becomes a product • Starts the software crisis
3ª	1972 – 1989	•New and more computering systems •Appears global nets •Microprocesators
4ª	1989 - ?	•The information becomes a  fundamental value •Appear: Information nets, expert systems and artificial intelligence softwares

We can clasificate softwares in thes categorys:

-By the use: Aplication, software programing, software system

-By the owner: free, propietary.
