John
JD's 50 Plus
Cinematographers
Marie
and I hope your 2020 is a peaceful and blessed year for you.
John
Charles Edward D'Alton. I have formed my own group to help people
use their cameras, editors to make their own movies. Edited
Tuesday
10th.
Of March 2020.
Due
to the big Queen's Wharf development that will commence next year
2016 I decided I would form my own group at the Brisbane City Hall 50
Plus Centre and have called it “John D'Alton's 50 Plus
Cinematiographers”. It has no connection with BSOL, U3A or any
other club. I and with the help from others will try to help people
who take video/movie and still images to assemble the data and make
movies which can be written/burnt onto DVD or CD. Or make files which
can be written/saved onto a computer's hard disk or portable USB
drives.
The
next Meeting I have noted in a box below. If I don't edit the Web
page in time, remember I hold them on the first and the fourth
Tuesdays of the month.
I
conduct two meetings per month, the first Tuesday and the
fourth Tuesday at about 9.30AM to about 12.30PM. Members must
be 50 yo or over. There is no journing fee at 50 Plus, the only cost
per time to my “group” is $2.00, $1.00 of which goes to the 50
Plus Centre and $1.00 to me to try to pay for incidentales that I may
need purchase electronic items and biscuits, tea and coffee. Tea and
coffee is free.
The
City Hall will provide at no cost to me a large DTV and laptop PC to
show any videos or whatever we will view as “show and tell”. I
have supplied one of my old desktop PCs to do likewise and to
show/demonstrate various software/applications. This PC I can boot
into GNU/Linux or M$oft W XP. John Bunker has loaned me his projector
screen. Thanks John.

My
short video clips and movies I have made with my cameras and
edited with MAGIX and from now on Linux Kdenlive which I have
Uploaded to
my
Youtube channel.
|
I
use GNU/Linux which is OpenSouceSoftware (OSS) almost entirely. I
do not need Micro$oft Windows anymore. I use a range of OSS to
work on my video clips, music and so.

I use Kdenlive which
is a movie/video editing application and is OSS. It is superb!
The developers are working on writing it to run on M$oft Windows,
perhaps ready 2017.
|
Handbrake I use to
do certain video editing. Handbrake is also available for Apple
and Micro$oft Windows.

Format Factory
The most popular video and sound convertor along with another I
have used for a couple of decades called AnyVideoConvertor (AVC).

My Linux Mint
file converter WINFF
I have used Format Factoy and AVC in M$ Win XP for years but as I
have almost completely abandoned Windows because I use Linux
Mint, WINFF is one of the video format file converters I use.

What
software I can demonstrate using peoples camera video or mine.
Micro$oft
Windows MAGIX, AVS and Iskysoft. In LINUX Mint I have Kdenlive.
Sorry no Apple Mac software.
I
have produced a little booklet about my 50 Plus system setup, a
PDF is available over on the right URL link “My
50 Plus System PDF”.
Please
come and see what we will do at our next meeting. One does NOT
have to have Windows 7, 8 or 10 to do video editing. I also use
Linux Kdenlive which is quite a
professional editor but not for beginners. Others of my group use
IskySoft in M$ Windows.

We
may have the Square Dancing group come in to view my movie I
assembled with various camera shots taken by Helen, Robert, Rob

I may discontinue this WEB
page as not many visit it which is a pity even though it does
take time to work on it!
|
One of the main problems
is that people take still images and short video clips on their
mobile phones but they do not know how to Download the files from
the 'phone.
