Avid for iPad Is Here
” Avid has launched a new video editing iPad app, which it hopes will give Apple’s iMovie a run for its money, and is Avid’s first prosumer video editing app for the iPad. Avid Studio for the iPad enables you to quickly arrange your clips in the Storyboard, make precision edits using the Timeline, and add high-quality transitions, effects, and soundtracks to your movie footage. ” Source:? http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/avid-studio-video-editing-app-arrives-on-the-ipad-02-02-2012/ ? “Avid has created an app with the power of a professional editor, yet is easy enough for newcomers. It looks to be a big step up from Apple’s iMovie app, which is strictly for home hobbyists. The Avid Studio app combines a storyboard and timeline interface, where users can arrange clips in the storyboard, then use the timeline for precise cuts. It also offers touch controls not found in the desktop, like the ability to resize and rotate titles with a gesture. To get media to edit, users can capture video or photos within the app, import media from iTunes, or capture from a camera using the iPad Camera Connection Kit ($29). More than a basic editor, the Avid app includes picture-in-picture effects, as well as multiple audio tracks for layering sounds. When they’re done, users can upload their creations directly to their YouTube or Facebook accounts, save them to their computers, or send them to their Avid Studio desktop program for further editing. Other features include 3D animations, transitions, and titles; full title and graphic control; pan-and-zoom for photos; and full screen playback. ” Source: http://www.onlinevideo.net/2012/02/avid-editing-comes-to-the-apple-ipad/ ?

Good Advice On How To Become A Content Curator (especially if you are a librarian) | Backtalk
Robin Good : If you are a librarian, an information scientist or someone who has been trained to sift through lots of information and to extract valuable insight, you will enjoy reading this article by John Warrier published today on Library Journal.? Mr. Warrier, who is information librarian, has two jobs. The first is as a librarian at a community college. The second as a content curator at Neatorama.com where he “highlights” neat, odd, and fascinating bites of amusement, from the latest breakthroughs across hundreds of topics. In the article he shares his insight and advice about content curation and on what it may take for newbies to break into this field. “… content curators focus on the news needs of particular professions and industries. Professional News Curation Examples 1) The staff of PRDaily.com, for example, provides public relations professionals with the latest and the best news about that industry. 2) DesignBoom.com keeps track of the newest and hottest trends in art and industrial design. 3) BusinessInsider.com highlights news about world markets. … Getting Started You can get started in content curation quite quickly. a) All you need is a social media platform , such as a blog, Twitter feed, open-access Facebook page, or Google+ profile. b) Find the best content and add new items daily. c) Focus not on your own interests , but those of your readership. d) Prove that you can draw readers as a trusted source and keep them coming back for more. e) Then you should try to secure an internship . Many content curation firms, such as Mediaite, Gawker and Flavorwire, offer internships that will give you hands-on training in the field. They’ll train you to examine your audience, compile potential sources and pitch your content to the audience in an attention-grabbing way. ” Useful. 7/10 Full article:? http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/02/opinion/backtalk/digital-content-curation-is-a-perfect-career-fit-for-librarians-backtalk/ ?

Advertising Not: How Context and Sharing Disrupt The Most Popular Online Business Model
Robin Good : Felix Salmon on the Reuters blogs has a short but insightful article on how content creation and distribution is changing and on the diminishing value of being an integrated silo that created, edits, publishes and distributes its own content. He writes:?” Facebook and Google have become two of the biggest media companies in the world in extremely short amounts of time, precisely because they don’t have much interest in owning any content. Rupert Murdoch looks at Google and sees a pirate because he does everything : he both creates content (think 20th Century Fox), and also distributes it (think Sky TV). … While the social, digital world is one where the biggest media companies have a much lighter touch, and where the content creators with the broadest reach will be the ones who care the least about protecting their copyrights . I suspect that we’re only in the very early days of seeing how this is going to disrupt just about every media organization built on the idea of hosting a website and selling ads , including highly socially-attuned ones like the Huffington Post. HuffPo is built on the idea that when stories are shared on Twitter or Facebook, that will drive traffic back to huffingtonpost.com, where it can then monetize that traffic by selling it to advertisers. But in future, the most viral stories are going to have a life of their own, being shared across many different platforms and being read by people who will never visit the original site on which they were published. ” Insightful. 9/10 Read the full article:? http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2012/01/23/how-sharing-disrupts-media/ ?
