The only other thing that I needed to do was remove the credits before and after each video clip so that there was only video and no credits. I then dragged the videos down to the timeline so that they were set to play consecutively. Note that you will need "Blender" to be installed before you can use this function.Īfter creating the title you can add it to the final video by dragging it down to the timeline.įor creating the montage of videos for the video loop I imported 4 different video clips (which I downloaded from Youtube). To get a preview of each theme simply select it from the list.Ī new dialog will appear where you can enter the text that you wish to be displayed. The "Animated Title Editor" also comes with a number of themes. To create still title frames you have to install "ImageMagick" and to create animated titles you need to install "Blender". Whichever option you choose requires another piece of software to be installed. You can add either an animated title or a static title. Openshot is very easy to use even for somebody who is artistically challenged.įor the "Point Linux" review all I wanted to do was take the video created using "RecordMyDesktop" and add a title at the beginning and a credits section at the end.Īll I had to do in Openshot to achieve this was to import the video and then drag it down to the timeline. I therefore used Synaptic and found "Openshot". I also found it really hard to actually get stuff done. "LIVES" took absolutely ages to load in a short video ("The 60 second Point Linux" review). The Ubuntu Software Centre came up with a program called "LIVES" and I tried this for about 30 minutes before I realised that it was too cumbersome for my needs. To edit the "Point Linux" video and for creating a video loop for the children's party I needed an easy to use video editing suite. (And in a house with 3 children, a dog and five cats there is a lot of background noise). Whilst recording the "Point Linux" review I used a as this provided a better quality than using the built in microphone as it eliminated background noise. You will also notice a button called "Advanced" which lets you set the directory where the temporary video file is stored before saving, the frames per second and various other settings. You can adjust the quality of the video and the sound prior to recording by adjusting the sliders. The default video format is "OGV" which is an open video format. The "Save As" button enables you to save the recording. This changes to a small red square when recording is in progress.ĭo whatever you need to do for the purpose of recording and then press the square and select stop to end the recording process. You will notice in the system tray a small red dot when "RecordMyDesktop" starts. Pressing "Record" starts the recording process. This can be the window of an individual application or you can press the entire desktop. To get started press the "Select Window" button. This tool is very good for creating instructional videos and also for recording a review of a piece of software or indeed an entire operating system. ![]() The "RecordMyDesktop" application records all your keystrokes and movements. I don't think the Ubuntu Software Centre is fit for purpose. I wanted to use the Dell Inspiron 15 laptop for the video loop because it is currently dual booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu and I wanted to be sure that if I couldn't get the video to work on Ubuntu (I was short of time and didn't have much time to play) then I would have Windows 8 as a backup. Tools I used to create the video loop for the projector.Ī quick rant about the Ubuntu Software Centre This article highlights the tools I used to create the Youtube video and also the To make things more interesting for the kids I was asked to create a video loop to play on the projector which would loop through whilst the music was playing. My daughter and her friend had a joint birthday party yesterday in the local village hall and the equipment in the village hall is pretty good including audio equipment and a video projector.įor the party, we created a playlist of music from my son's to play through the sound system and we had a few disco lights as well. ![]() My plan for this week was to install and review SparkyLinux but due to other commitments I have not had the time to complete the review. I recently wrote a review for Point Linux 2.2 and whilst writing the review I decided to do something that I had never done before and create a video review of Point Linux. Before I begin with today's topic I would like to point out that I am to art and video editing what Jedward are to music.ĭuring the past 2 weeks I have found myself delving into screencasting and video editing.
