SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE USED IN MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTIONS

VIDEO EDITING 

Software

 VSDC 

"A non-linear video editor for Windows. “Non-linear” (as opposed to “linear” video editing like in Movie Maker) means you can combine video files and images in any sequence and create incredible compositions. If you’ve never heard of non-linear video editing before and still feel confused, think of it as “photoshopping” a video. You’ll be able to create layers, place several objects onto a scene, overlap them, blend fragments and even make them half-transparent if your goal requires that."

 


iMovie

"iMovie allows you to import your digital video footage with one click, and it automatically separates the scenes for you into clips. You can then pick out the good parts, snip out the slow or boring parts, shuffle scenes around to your heart's content, and add sound."

 






Adobe Premiere Pro

"Adobe Premiere Pro is a widely used software applications for video editing on mac OS or Windows computers. Premiere Pro is used for editing videos, commercials and other film, television, and online video. It is a comprehensive video editing software application and is also available as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud set of applications." 

Hardware


 




CPU

"The computer's central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer that retrieves and executes instructions. The CPU is essentially the brain of a CAD system. It consists of an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), a control unit, and various registers. The CPU is often simply referred to as the processor."

 

RAM

"RAM stands for random-access memory, but what does that mean? Your computer RAM is essentially short term memory where data is stored as the processor needs it. This isn’t to be confused with long-term data that’s stored on your hard drive, which stays there even when your computer is turned off."

Monitor

 "A monitor is an electronic visual computer display that includes a screen, circuitry and the case in which that circuitry is enclosed. Older computer monitors made use of cathode ray tubes (CRT), which made them large, heavy and inefficient. Nowadays, flat-screen LCD monitors are used in devices like laptops, PDAs and desktop computers because they are lighter and more energy efficient."


FILM PRODUCTIONS

Software

"Writing on Final Draft means that your script will look polished and professional, giving you one less thing to worry about in an industry that’s filled with uncertainty."

Hardware 

Tripod

"The primary purpose of the tripod is to hold a camera completely steady—zero movement and vibration; however, the tripod is very, very far from a one-size-fits-all-photographic accessory."

 






Video Camera

"A digital video camera (DVCAM) is a device that captures motion picture information from live environments, encoding it into data that can be decoded or transcoded into electronic visual media. A typical digital camera consists of a lens, image sensor, storage media and a number of other features that can also be found on other cameras (such as scalable aperture, filters and flash)."

Camera Light

"Camera lights provide the much-needed illumination when filming video footage or taking photos in low-light conditions. External flashes and on-camera lights also allow you to achieve balanced daylight exposures in daylight conditions as well as help in the freezing of fast-moving subjects." 


PHOTO EDITING

Software

Adobe Lightroom

"Lightroom helps you import, organize, manage, and find your images. In turn, Lightroom is photo management and photo editing, combined into a single tool. Unlike Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom is a non-destructive photo editor, meaning that you don't have to worry about that pesky “save as” button."


 





DxO Photolab 4

"DxO PhotoLab 4 Elite Best photo editing software featuring an AI technology capable of simultaneously denoising and demosaicing images, a dynamic workspace that can be personalized, batch renaming, a watermarking tool, and much more."

It consists of an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), a control unit, and various registers. The CPU is often simply referred to as the processor."
