iWiSoft Video Converter

This week I decided to play around with iWisoft Video Converter, and I played around with it!

Well, I would like to commend teh fact that this software is freely downloadable on the link in the caption below the picture. It allows for various features for editing videos like converting video formats (including HD), audio ripping from videos, merging videos, trimming videos, adding watermarks/logs on to the videos, texts and cropping the video along with so many other features.

Well it worked out quite well when I converted a playlist I found on YouTube that was uploaded by a fellow colleague. I decided to merge all of the videos, trim the videos at the beginning to create one synchronized video without it feeling like it's a series of 4 different videos. Well, it kinda worked out. There were a few a glitches and a few things that did disappoint me because I did not read the fine print. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. If you paid nothing, you might as well get nothing from the software itself.

The software is not for digital media personnel. In no way will it make your life better, stick to your usual toys. But it's good for those willing to convert other video formats to the MAC OS/iOS video formats that only play on iOS and MAC devices.

Streaming Of the 2014 Graduation

Well, the University of the Western Cape in conjunction with the Cape Peninsula University fo Technology streamed the 2014 Summer graduation ceremony at the University of the Western Cape on CPUT TV (UWC Graduation) website. I had the chance to watch the live ceremony on the 19th of March 2014 of a few colleagues of mine graduate, it was extremely exciting and inspiring. But I struggled to understand why UWC could not at all stream the graduation onto their UWCOnline YouTube Channel . I was debating the fact that the university has a full Digital Media Studios unit, with most if not all of the equipment necessary for the event itself. The personnel here at this unit are qualified and equipped enough to handle such an event, but what was the cause of UWC not using an internal resource? Events being streamed live can be one risky position and proposition to be in if the whole team has not planned it well. Viewers do expect an event that is well coordinated with no hiccups, they

First Shoot

Today was my first shoot for the Digital Media Studios at Information and Communication Services (ICS). The event was part of the ICS workshop in conjunction with other departments in the university that would include various executives of the university. The first problem we encountered was with regard to the lighting in the venue itself. The sound was also quite a problem in itself but somehow Tosin and Andre had it fixed in no time at all. Another problem I faced was the fact that I was falling half asleep the whole time, and that can not be blamed on me in particular but rather the exams and the content of the presentation that was being delivered at the seminar itself. Apart from all that, the seminar did kind of help as I was introduced to various topics and content that related to ITS itself, so it was not totally a waste of time. I learnt a lot things though at this firs shoot.
