# Present It! Video

Digitizing Video

  1. Start a new project and save it (File > New Project... and File > Save). If you want, at this stage yuo can also specify where your video captures will be saved, if necessary, by going to Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks. If you don't specify a location for Premiere to save the video you digitize, it will be saved in the same location that you save your project file.
  2. Connect the camera via FireWire and turn the camera on.

    3. Digitizing? Capturing?

    Did you miss our description of what digitizing is? See How to Shoot Video for the Web.

  3. Go to File > Capture to open the Capture window.
  4. Video can be captured by using the device control buttons (Play, Fast-Forward, etc.) in the Capture window to control your camera, or by using the buttons on your camera itself to advance and rewind the video. Either way, find the point from which you'd like to start capturing video by watching the Preview window to identify the points visually. It's useful to know what clips you want before you start capturing or even to have written down the time code for the clips. It's usually a good idea to start the capture a few seconds before the point at which you want to use the video, as there are sometimes a few frames of distorted video at the beginning of a capture. To capture, just hit the red Record button at the bottom of the capture window. You can name the clip you are capturing in the Clip Data section of the window (on the right), or let Premiere name the clip for you automatically.
  5. Don't do anything else while capture is running. Nothing! No browsing and no checking your e-mail. Be strong.
  6. Hit the Escape button to stop the capture. Your clip is automatically inserted into the Project window.
  7. Repeat the capture process (Steps 4-6) until you've got everything you need digitized.

on Database Workers

The Tephritid Workers Database is a web based database collecting and sharing information on tephritid fruit flies, one of the most economically important group of insect species that threaten fruit and vegetable production and trade worldwide (McPheron & Steck 1996). Because these species are increasingly becoming important, a tremendous amount of information is made available each year: new technologies developed, new information on their biology and ecology; new control methods made available, new species identified, new outbreaks recorded and new operational control programmes launched.

on Writing and Editing a Blog

I was searching for blog editing and found this article to be helpful. People love bullets and lists in blogging. I also found an blog editing site that looks interesting as well http://www.quickpostedit.com where they charge for editing by the word more or less. If I didn’t have an editor for a girlfriend maybe I would use it. winkAs for the editing of comments I only every edit the curse words out, I think that if they have bad grammar that reflex poorly on them. My blog is primarily about marketing not editing so I don’t get to up tight.

on Polls and E-mail Surveys

why do we poll? well, just to know what most of the people wanted or like. just like if we make a poll about the candidacy of the next president of the United States, we will know who among the candidates are most loved by the people or who they want to rule them…
