Open+source

= = = I am currently the technology liaison for my school, Adaptive Behavior Center in Cypress Texas and I can see how having the knowledge of this video editing software can be extremely beneficial. We have family nights where staff and students bring their family members and we record the entire night on video. Once I put the video on the computer I was limited to using Windows media software to edit the video and intern did not have the quality I was looking for. Although Windows media is a good beginner program for video, it did not give the professional look that I was trying to achieve. The next time we have a family night I plan to use Avidemux to give that touch that I was trying to achieve. I have used basic editing software before and in a previous class that I have taken at Lamar University we discussed the use of open source software which really opened my eyes to other products out there besides paid for software. From there I began looking at many different open source software programs for many different applications such as word processing, spread sheets, and other useful tools. I found a website created just to help people find the right type of open source software for them. The address is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_and_open_source_software_packages#Video_editing. = = = = Being on the cutting edge with this type of editing makes me a valuable asset to a school do to my knowledge of the systems. I also plan to use what I have learned at home with my personal family videos. =
