[videoblogging] Re: video within a video

[Bill Cammack]

The way it's done in FCP is:
1) Place your video you want to be the small window in the timeline
2) Double click that clip so it goes into the viewer
2) Select the tab at the top of the viewer that says "Motion"
3) Inside "Basic Motion", Change the "Scale" so it's less than "100"
4) Also inside "Basic Motion", next to where it says "Center", there's
a circle with a "+" in it.  Click that, and move the cursor to the
canvas.  The cursor will turn into a "+" and when you press and hold
the mouse button, you'll be able to place your picture-in-picture
anywhere you want it.
5) Also in the "Motion" tab, you might want to add a Drop Shadow.
6) Place the clip you just edited on a higher video track than your
fullscreen video.


I assume it works exactly the same way in FCE.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Video Vortex Conference: November 30 and December 1 2007, Amsterdam (NL)
Organized by the Institute of Network Cultures

First announcement (shorter air version), March 16, 2007

More on the Event: http://www.networkcultures.org/videovortex/
List info:
http://listcultures.org/mailman/listinfo/videovortex_listcultures.org

In response to the increasing potential for video to become a
significant form of personal media on the Internet, this conference
examines the key issues that are emerging around the independent
production and distribution of online video content. What are artists
and activists responses to the popularity of 'user-generated content'
websites? Is corporate backlash eminent?

After years of talk about digital conversions and crossmedia platforms
we are now witnessing the merger of the Internet and television at a
pace that no one predicted. For the baby boom generation, that
currently forms the film and television establishment, the media
organisations and conglomerates, this unfolds as a complete nightmare.
Not only because of copyright issues but increasingly due to the shift
of audience to vlogging and video-sharing websites as part of the
development of a broader participatory culture.

The opening night will feature live acts, performances and lectures
under the banner of video slamming. We will trace the history from
short film to one-minute videos to the first experiments with streaming
media and online video, along with exploring the way VJs and media
artists are accessing and using online archives.

The Video Vortex conference aims to contextualize these latest
developments through presenting continuities and discontinuities in the
artistic, activist and mainstream perspective of the last few decades.
Unlike the way online video presents itself as the latest and greatest,
there are long threads to be woven into the history of visual art,
cinema and documentary production. The rise of the database as the
dominant form of storing and accessing cultural artifacts has a rich
tradition that still needs to be explored. The conference aims to raise
the following questions:

- How are people utilising the potential to independently produce and
distribute independent video content on the Internet?
- What are the alternatives to the proprietary standards currently
being developed?
- What are the commercial objectives that mass media is imposing on
user-generated content and video-sharing databases?
- What is the underlying economics of online video in the age of
unlimited uploads?
- How autonomous are vloggers within the broader domain of mass media?
- How are cinema, television and video art being affected by the
development of a ubiquitous online video practice?
- What type of aesthetic and narrative issues does the database pose
for online video practice?

Conference themes:

Viral Video critique
Vlogging Critique
Participatory Culture, Participatory Video
Real World Tools and Technologies
Theory & History of the Database
Narrative and the Cinematic
Database Taxonomy and Navigation
Internet Video: Art, Activism, and Public Media
Evening Programme / Exhibition

(see website for details)

Video Vortex Discussion List:

With this discussion list we like to gather responses to the rise of
YouTube and similar online video databases. What does YouTube tell us
about the state of art in visual culture? Is YouTube the corporate
media structure of the 21st century? What are the artist responses to
YouTube aesthetics?

[videoblogging] video within a video

[quietleader]

I apologize if this questions is "off topic."  (I just get the sense there are 
lots of Final Cut 
experts in this group)

My question:  Is it possible to produce a "video within a video" using Final 
Cut Express?

The best way to describe what I want is with an analogy: Some television sets 
allow you to 
watch a main channel, and show a second channel in a smaller window down in the 
corner.

Is it possible to create the equivalent with Final Cut Express, and how would 
it be done? Or is 
Final Cut Pro/Studio required?

Thanks!
Warren

I'm not working that weekend so I'll most probably pop in. I
registered early on to see how I can streamline my feed. I think it
will be an awesome time to fine tune your episodes. MP3 players are even
becoming more prevalent, I'm gearing my episodes to be consumable as
both an audio and video podcasts. My episodes are no longer going to
be purely visual (video).

[humancloner1997]

Is anyone else in this group planning on attending the PODCAMP 2007 in
New York City on April 7th and/or the reception the evening before?

It looks like they have a lot of interesting panels and it should be a
great place to learn and network.

Maybe, we who are mostly focused on videoblogging could connect and
work together during this event.  I'm certainly going to be there.

[videoblogging] Videotaping Public Meetings

[humancloner1997]

A website with the memorable name www.Hoboken411.com has been in the
news lately.  The local school board has put unrealistic and illegal
restrictions on the videotaping of public meetings of the school
boards in Hoboken, NJ.

There is an interesting legal history regarding this.  The NJ Supreme
Court has ruled that taping of suc h public meetings can't be prohibited.

In Hoboken, City Council meetings are held in a room only holding a
couple hundred onlookers.  Accoustics are terrible & it is nearly
impossible to hear what is being said even by those in the front rows.

I've suggested using a shotgun microphone to zero-in on different
politicians as they speak and make comments to one another, then
broadcasting them on the Internet using www.Hoiboken411.com as a
promotional tool.

Here's the link to the story:
http://hoboken411.com/archives/6244

I was looking at shotgun mikes and the B&H salesperson recommended a
Rhode NTG-2 Shotgun Condenser mike for $249.00  Does anyone have any
experience with these types of microphones?

I have a somewhat directional plug-in mike for doing on casmera
interviews but am totally inexperienced when it comes to using a
shotgun mike.

Think I might get charged with breaking "the gun laws" for walking
into Hoboken City Hall with my Sony A1U camera outfitted with a
shotgun mike? :-)

[videoblogging] Re: flash video

[Steve Watkins]

I'll experiment with this format issue tonight.

Meanwhile another option are things like this recently announced
product that is a PC built into a TV:

http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/7029/8053/rock-meivo-lcd-computer-tv.phtml

Not a very big screen for a TV, it strikes me that this device is
actually a PC equivalent of the iMac, so it will be interesting to
compare price as I still believe Apple is a little pricey, and its not
just a case of their spec being above the PC to justify that extra
price. They are certainly a lot more competitive in the last few
years, but my brain still thinks Im paying an Apple style tax in the
same way Sony stuff carries a premium. 

Anyway if one with a suitable screen size was available at the right
price then that'd certainly be an interesting option to put media
center on.

Cheers

I've been  warned that my two unused invites will expire soon. Apparently no
one wanted them badly enough to perform the minor request of leaving a
comment on my blog in exchange. Which today is impossible because my
comments are down, so the first two people to write me that they want these
can have them.

First announcement, March 15, 2007

In response to the increasing potential for video to become a
significant form of personal media on the Internet, this conference
examines the key issues that are emerging around the independent
production and distribution of online video content. What are artists
and activists responses to the popularity of 'user-generated content'

After years of talk about digital conversions and crossmedia platforms
we are now witnessing the merger of the Internet and television at a

currently forms the film and television establishment, the media
organisations and conglomerates, this unfolds as a complete nightmare.
Not only because of copyright issues but increasingly due to the shift
of audience to vlogging and video-sharing websites as part of the

Viral Video critique

YouTube made 2006 the year of Internet video. The video content
produced bottom-up, with an emphasis on participation, sharing and
community networking. But inevitably like Flickr being consumed by
Yahoo, Google purchased YouTube. What is the future for the production
and distribution of independent online video content? How can a
participatory culture achieve a certain degree of autonomy and
diversity outside mass media? What other motives does Google have for
Internet video in terms of searching and advertising? After the
purchase of YouTube, Google was asked to remove a number of clips that
breached copyright laws. What comparisons can be made between the
Napster incident with audio and video-sharing websites?

Vlogging Critique

This section will deal with vlogging criticism. Is video blogging a
form of text-based blogging with other means? How can we develop a form
of criticism, and a critical practice, that is not derogative and yet
surpasses the anecdotal diary level? Is vlogging the next stage of ego
boosting of the blogger, who wants to raise his or her ranking status?
What is a video diary and how can this emerging genre be shaped? Can
there be sophistication in 'vlogging'? How can we overcome the
evangelical that stresses the possibilities of gadget features? And how
can we overcome the amateurish aesthetics of this new genre?

Participatory Culture, Participatory Video

The Web 2.0 holds the promise to create a participatory culture that
can renew the stagnated democracies in the West. In this utopian
approach, the user has the historical task to overcome the old regime
of top down broadcast media and create decentralised dialogues. To what
extent can user-generated video content be energized by presenting the
material as citizen journalism? Is the increased user parti

You might want to have a look at mplayer and its plugins

mplayer:

Its for mozilla but might work for Firefox too.

If I have time I might try to get it working later.

Try VLC again. I don't have much experience with it on Linux, but 
I've used it on Windows quite a bit and it handles most MOV's and 
MP4's (including h264) well.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Newbie YouTube capture question

[David King]

There are a TON of free web-based services that capture youtube video. Just
go to google and search for youtube download - they turn youtube videos into
the portable flv format. You need an flv player (easily found as well).
Then, if you need to turn the video into something else (like an mpg4, etc),
just find an flv converter the same way, and you're all set!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Video editing on Linux?

[groups-yahoo-com]

Howdy all,


Great thread!

I was happy to find it however old.

Does anyone know what the best video plugins are for Firefix on Linux?


Some detail...

I had a spare intel box sitting around and put Ubuntu on it, I'm so
pleased that as an experiment I've decided to use it as my primary
desk workstation for the time being.

Ironicly the only problem I have is I can't find any good plugins.

Currently I have the totem media player plugins installed.  These
function very poorly if at all for most video types.

I tried the VLC plugins as VLC is the best media player on any
platform and I've been using it for years. However, for some reason
they didn't work.

I'm about to go back and give VLC a second try though.

I'm hoping some linux guru will pop up and say there's some package
that everyone swears by.

Until then, I'll be googling around the web desperately looking for
some good video plugins for linux.

BTW, the Flash and Real Player plugin's work great.

I just can't play MOV's, MP4's and other downloadable formats.

[videoblogging] Re: Newbie YouTube capture question

[Gena]

One place is http://www.zamzar.com you can convert YT into many
formats, for PPT I would suggest .avi or .wmv

>From M$ 2003 PPT Help:

"On the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, click Movie from File,
locate the folder that contains the file you want, and then
double-click the file. 

Note  A movie or .gif file that you've added to Clip Organizer (Clip
Organizer: Microsoft Office program that contains drawings,
photographs, sounds, videos, and other media files that you can insert
and use in presentations, publications, and other Office documents.)
is found in the Clip Organizer folder within the My Pictures folder on
your hard disk. Or, go to the original location for these files.

When a message is displayed, do one of the following: 
To play the movie or GIF automatically when you go to the slide, click
Automatically. 

To play the movie or GIF only when you click it, click When Clicked. 
Note  If you try to insert a movie and you get a message saying that
Microsoft PowerPoint can't insert the file, try inserting the movie to
play in Windows Media Player."

[videoblogging] bp is great too!
