I am still stuck with SONY Vegas for my AVCHD videos, and must reboot into Windows to use it. Except for the times when I don't edit at all and I just transcode with ffmpeg. So I don't edit as much as I would like to (although: maybe that's just an excuse because I have no time to edit). > more than happy to have a short talk about the film at the next LGM.

[CREATE] "Reclaim your tools". A film by Jakub Szypulka
Hey guys, I just finished editing "Reclaim your tools", a short film about the Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 in Brussels. Here is the link: http://vimeo.com/18568225 All the filming and editing as well as the music was done by myself. The movie is just some two and a half minutes, but I believe it might be a useful marketing tool for LGM. What I'm especially proud of is that everything you can see was done a HUNDRED PERCENT using opensource software! (minus camera firmware I suppose, haha) Feel free to share the movie where ever you want! The only thing I'm asking for is that you include my name. As I count film-making to graphics, I feel that open source video editing software should be a part of the LGM conference. Thus, I'd be more than happy to have a short talk about the film at the next LGM. I would present my workflow as well as point out areas where improvement is possible (and sometimes really necessary) compared to closed source, commercial software, which I've been using for a longer time. What do you guys think about that? I really hope you'll enjoy it just as much as I enjoyed making it! Can't wait to hear your comments!

Re: [CREATE] What color libraries do you use?

It really depends on where you live/work and your area of work. Pantone is ubiquituous, but even Pantone needed to create separate palettes for different purposes (e.g. printing, painting etc.). RAL is a de-facto standard in Europe when it comes to industrial design or painting, but is less used in printing. HKS is a "standard" designed exclusively for printing and wide-spread in Germany and some neighbouring countries. NCS is being used in architecture, interior and industrial design. I don't know anyone who uses NCS for print or web design. Focoltone, Toyo and DIC are Japanese colour libraries and, as far as I know, rarely used outside Japan. Trumatch is just another way to describe CMYK process colours. Some commercial applications, like those from Adobe, Quark and Corel also contain additional libraries, like ANPA (outdated) or DuPont SpectraMaster (CorelDraw -- maybe because some specialised print shops use them). This is just a cursory overview, of course. I hope others will add their own experiences.
