The Open-Source Cross-Platform Video Editor: Shotcut

The Open-Source Cross-Platform Video Editor: Shotcut | Professional Communication | Scoop.it
Dean Mantz's curator insight, May 7, 11:02 AM

Ever since I came across Robin's Scoop.it site I have found some top knotch resources.  When educators are looking to integrate video projects into their curriculum, one must consider what time may be needed outside of class to complete the work.  Well, here is one video option that works on multiple platforms.  Thus, enabling students to work on projects at home as well as school. 

173 Sud's curator insight, May 7, 11:12 AM

 

MakeUseOf :: Adobe Premiere. Final Cut Pro. Sony Vegas. AVID. All of these are high-end video editors that all have one attribute in common: they cost money. In an ideal world, there would be an equally high-end freeware video editing system out there. Unfortunately, most of the “editors” that do make these claims are embarrassingly poor and of little to no use.

 

However,  Shotcut may be a shining star in the world of free video editors. It’s an open-source, cross-platform editing system that is incredibly intricate, and it’s loaded with an arsenal of features so hot that they will melt your face off. More appropriately, Shotcut is a freeware video toolkit that is actually useful and won’t hold you back.

 

Shotcut offers basic cutting and trimming capabilities along with a zillion different codecs available for export. For the record, these are professional-level file formats, and you could even use Shotcut as a higher-end file converter from time to time, if needed. Also included is the ability to perform basic color correction with a three-wheel user interface, an eyedropper tool for post-production white balancing, and a few filters to choose from.

 

On the input side of things, Shotcut can receive footage via SDI, HDMI, and more. Timecode is supported, and the app will typically allow for native editing. Simply put, Shotcut is a fantastic piece of software to keep in your editing suite. I wouldn’t recommend it as your go-to editor, but it definitely has a place in the video production world.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, May 12, 12:13 PM

To install, simply extract the archive and run it. You can drag the Shotcut folder (app icon for OS X) to copy and move it wherever you want.

Unique but universal: Localizing user interfaces | Professional Communication | Scoop.it

Successful user interfaces, websites and apps owe their glamour to a combination of captivating text and eye-catching visuals. However, what attracts users in one locale, might appear bland or even offensive in another. So what makes a great, localized user interface?

Sustainability Links for Writing Instructors and Students

Links on this site take viewers to other sites that can prove helpful in designing writing courses with a focus on sustainability. This site is hosted by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's Department of English and is maintained by Dr. Jim Henry. The site originated when a number ofinstructors teaching First Year Composition at UHM decided to structure their syllabi with sustainability elements. From those origins it has grown into a site that can support writing courses at all levels.

Tony Brugman (Bright & Company)'s curator insight, May 14, 7:36 AM

Findings from a global communications survey say that 'Employee Engagement' will be the most important quality for successful Leadership in 2020 (61%). Remarkable, the leadership quality 'Profitability' only accounts for 7% of the respondents. Also, in 2020, 'Innovation and Meaningful Experiences' will outrank 'Profit' as the most predominant business driver.

We believe that relevant, personalized, collaborative, and connected learning experiences enhance student engagement, which in turn drives student achievement. Although these learning experiences were available in a more limited way before the advent of technology, digital conversion has taken them to an entirely new level.

Teresa Deshon's curator insight, May 2, 4:16 AM

Using technology especially ipads and maths apps in middle school classrooms addresses all 6 drivers of student engagement.

 

Well planned lessons based on strong pedagogy where technology is the tool rather than the novelty ensures students are learning in a way that is fun, purposeful and improves outcomes.
