Working with transitions

I worked on a movie that had a lot of transitions using Pinnicale to see what other features I could include with this program. I was able to use some new ones this time and found that the program is getting easier to use. There are still some frustrating things about this program such as not being able to put a fade on the end of a clip, but I think it might be able to be accomplished if I were to purchase another download. This movie is not about service learning as it was difficult to find ones that I wanted to use in my final project, so I filmed my son’s band. To say the least it was a challenge as they actually played for over 10 minutes. The edit is now just over three minutes.

Audacity Gone Bad

I have been working with Audacity for awhile and it has turned into a disaster. I’m thinking it might be the actual problem as to why I’m having so many problems with my computer. As soon as I started to work with the program again, my computer started acting up. I get a message that says it detects another copy of Audacity is running and that two copies can’t be running simultaneously even though only one copy is open. I’m thinking that possibly something else might have been dragged with the download. I’m going to try to uninstall it and then reinstall to see if it will correct the problem. With luck this will solve the problem.

Take the Challenge

Working with Audacity becomes easier each time you employ the software. It has many features that enable you to perform different functions, and the best was to discover what it is the program can do is to make a copy of what you have and then try out the features. I found that by cutting and pasting tracks where I wanted them over an existing piece was an easy fix. I have enjoyed working with this software and would like to see what other possibilities it has.

Choosing to Participate in Service Learning Projects

I finally figured out an easy way to embed audio into blogger with an audio bar that does not play automatically upon opening the page. Since I needed a host to store the files, I used HDDweb.com. Once I had the code, I was able to alter it for blogger. I needed to change the autostart code from “true” to “false”, and get rid of the noembed, changing it to embed. I also had to get rid of some of the other code that didn’t matter, but once that was done, it worked.
