Class Requirements:
Video production of our own is a
life-long joy. These days, video camcorder or smart-phone can record videos for any instances. In this
class we start with our existing video files only. We don't cover how to take
videos with camcorder/digital camera/smartphone.
(1) Fast Processor PC:
Evaluate your own hardware system for video processing. PC Processor (better
than i-5?), computer memory(larger than 4 GB?), sound card/speaker equipped?
optical drive equipped? video capture device (camcorder/smartphone?)
Most of the time, video clips (100
mega or giga-pixels) are very huge in file size, compared to photos (eg.
mega-pixels). So editing or converting of video clips involves huge memory
processing, and thus takes very long processing time. For a video clip of 20
minutes in high definition its file conversion takes about 45 minutes by a PC
with i7 processor. Video processing needs a fast computing PC. If you plan on to purchase a PC, it is
recommended to purchase a PC with i5 processor or i7 processor better. Faster
the better.
PC Club's Learning Center has 20
desktop PCs, and are not loaded with AVS software package. We've been trying
to communicate its need to get it installed. But not materialized yet.
(2) AVS software package:
The AVS software package is available on line through: AVS4YOU The package comes in about 17 different audio/video/image/utility software.
AVS is giving us a LWV student discount rate at $41.30 for unlimited subscription. This purchase is one time only and computer-specific only. Once on-line purchase onto a PC, the software package is not transferrable to another PC. There is no activation/deactivation available. It is recommended to get in downloaded/installed on your fast PC. I purchased 2 AVS packages, one for my desktop and another for my laptop. Even during my travel, I need to work on church worship service videos with my laptop PC. That was the reason.
(3) PC loaded with AVS in
the Learning Center Class Room
It is necessary to have your own computer loaded with AVS package, to follow
the instruction in the class. If one brings own laptop(hopefully i5 processor
or better one) loaded with AVS software, this is most desirable for class
operation. If one has desktop PC with fast processor(i5 or i7), loaded with
AVS software, then the person may bring desktop PC box and connect
monitor/keyboard/mouse in the Learning Center, but it may take time for extra
10-15 minutes. If some students are not familiar how to assemble/disassemble
cables(monitor/keyboard/mouse/power), then it is recommended to learn how to
do it, and come 15 minutes early to the class to get it ready.
