Posted on | juni 17, 2010 | Comments Off

With software installations and complicated instructions, editing video can be a hassle—but we think it should be easy. Today, we’re introducing YouTube’s new online video editor, which makes editing your video a cinch. It’s available in TestTube, where YouTube engineers and developers test out new tools and get feedback on how they’re doing.

With this new editor, you can:

  • Combine multiple videos you’ve uploaded to create a new longer video
  • Trim the beginning and/or ending of your videos
  • Add soundtracks from our AudioSwap library of tens of thousands of songs
  • Create new videos without worrying about file formats and publish them to YouTube with one click—no upload necessary

A few helpful hints for editing your museum on Wikipedia

Posted on | juni 15, 2010 | Comments Off

Source: Digging Digitally

As a follow-up to the previous post about the British Museum’s collaboration with Wikipedia, I’d like to publish a text that was distributed originally on the private agade mailing list. It is written by A.J. Cave.

While is a good idea to read Wikipedia’s tutorials, policies and guidelines, sorting through volumes of information can be intimating for newcomers.  So here are a few helpful hints:

1. No matter what you do, you can’t break Wikipedia.  Wikipedia has robust version controls, so you cannot accidentally do permanent harm if you make a mistake in your editing.  All mistakes can be quickly and easily reversed or fixed by any other editor.

2. Start small.  The best way to break in and feel comfortable is do minor edits first.

3. While to edit an article, you can remain anonymous, to create a new article you have to register with a valid email userid and a password.  If you are concerned about privacy and anonymity, you may prefer to create a user name for yourself in order to hide your IP address.

4. Before starting a major edit, announce your intentions on the “Discussion” page of the article.

5. Wikipedians are expected to be civil and neutral, respecting all points of view, and only add verifiable and factual information with cited external sources rather than personal views and opinions.

6. An ideal Wikipedia article aims to be well-researched, well-written, balanced, and neutral with verifiable information, suited for an encyclopedia.  However, many Wikipedia articles start as a “stub”. A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a topic, but not so short as to provide no useful information, and it should be capable of expansion.

7. Wikipedia articles are always work in progress and vary in quality and maturity.  However, given that anyone can edit any article, it is possible for biased, outdated, or incorrect information to be posted.

8. Wikipedia does not allow original research and there is no elaborate system of scholarly peer review.

9. All articles are susceptible to vandalism and insertion of false information – particularly articles on popular and controversial topics.  But they eventually get cleaned up, either via consensus among Wikipedians or through intervention by the editors using Wikipedia’s conflict resolution systems.  A lock on an article’s page means the article is temporarily protected from editing by everyone and restricted to a few editors.

10. There are no content guarantees, so always check the History page to see if the article has been vandalized.

11. For those who teach, if you think your students have changed a Wikipedia article to match their research papers, just have them printout the History of a Wikipedia article and hand over!

On-line TV museum: TVARK

Posted on | mei 29, 2010 | Voeg reactie toe/Add Comment

Television was not the very same in older days. If you ever regretted that you might have missed some classic TV commercials or some popular oldie soaps, music videos or game shows that you have heard from your parents then you can stop repenting now, because you can anytime visit the online TV museum to explore the history of television and media (British) at TV-Ark.

TVARK is the on-line TV museum. The site is intended as a tribute to the work of television presentation and graphics, and to preserve a slice of our social history. Through images and video clips, TVARK presents those modest little chunks of television that are never repeated: idents, programme promotions, opening title sequences, public information films, commercials, daily start-ups and closedowns, break bumpers and station clocks. Each item is accompanied by a short written analysis and review.

TVARK is above all an educational resource. It is popular at home and abroad, used by teachers and students in schools and colleges. It is also recognised by people within the TV industry; TVARK’s archives are frequently used by industry professionals, who find their own master copies of programmes have been wiped over the years. TVARK has supplied information and clips for broadcast documentaries, presentation & news programmes, as well as broadcasting websites.

Visit: TV Ark.

Posted on | mei 27, 2010 | Voeg reactie toe/Add Comment

Created with Adobe InDesign CS5 and additional Adobe publishing technologies, the WIRED Reader is the first in a series of steps for Adobe to enable magazine publishers and retail catalogers to deliver groundbreaking experiences across tablets, smartphones and other devices. By reaching readers in new ways on these emerging devices, publishers can increase circulation because these new apps count towards audited ABC circulation and deliver incremental digital revenue.

Together with Creative Suite 5, this Digital Magazine Solution from Adobe allows magazines and retail catalogers to differentiate themselves through expressive content experiences. Previous experiments to bring the magazine experience to the Web via a browser have resulted in a static experience. With new reading paradigms like the WIRED Reader, readers are able to experience the design fidelity of a print magazine married with the interactivity of digital.

NEW DVD: Virtue ethics and Integrity, an interactive approach

Posted on | mei 16, 2010 | Voeg reactie toe/Add Comment

Virtue ethics is an approach to ethics that emphasizes the character of the moral agent, rather than rules or consequences, as the key element of ethical thinking (Wikipedia). Paul van Tongeren and Marcel Becker at The Radboud University Nijmegen apply virtue ethics to the concept of INTEGRITY. Infofilm made an interactive DVD ‘INTEGRITEIT DEUGT’ to explore and explain this approach with interviews and animations. The four cardinal virtues are (in Dutch): MOED, MAAT, RECHTVAARDIGHEID, VERSTANDIGHEID. The commissioner was BIOS, the Dutch National Office for Promoting Ethics and Integrity in the Public Sector at The ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK).
