Semantic Web

Internet evolves and information is increasingly widespread. The Semantic Web, we provide the most structured, facilitating research and use. Various media such as the categorization of content, syndication , the usability , etc. will make browsing the web we do closer, showing us what we want with less effort.

Edit a video from the Internet

Sunday, Mar 29, 2009

Sure we all heard the You Tube as a Web site to store and share videos. Portals such as YouTube there are several ( Google Video , Metacafe , blip.tv , Dailymotion , Vimeo , Revver ), but there are so many that allow you to edit video content.

Recently they have started to emerge new online tools for creating and editing our documents from the Internet, Google Docs is a good example. We can use this website as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentations ... To make video editing also find other free online tools. We see it the better known examples.

Kaltura [ http://corp.kaltura.com ]

It is a simple online tool that allows groups of users editing their own videos online in a collaborative way, which once published your works end, anyone can interact with it through the social functions that we already know. To do this, we have only ourselves to create a new project, select the type of video you want to do. After adapting the user environment where you want to work, given the different types of privilege for the display to other users, content contribution and editing of video, and finally creates and sends invitations to potential collaborators for participating. Then, once created the group, according to the privileges granted, may add clips, photos and audio issues as well as its online edition. During editing, you can add effects and transitions to clips and photos, plus add audio issues. Once the product has just published, and since any user can interact.

Animoto [ http://animoto.com ]

It is a service that lets you upload photos and animate them with effects and background music of your choice. The free account allows up to 30 seconds of video, although you can get the premium account (paying), to make the desired length. Basically this site do not edit videos, you can build is tipu slideshow presentations, with good animation. They then end up having a flash with very good quality.

Eyespot [ http://eyespot.com ]

This online editor can add a timeline of photographs and video clips you want. The latter may be cut in time for escursar them. Da'ltra banda between clips and images there can add thirty possible transitions. And that's not all because every element of our timeline can be manipulated with special effects that we provide. And to finish off the animation, music and even missing. Web gives us the same rights to use a list of audio for our video editing. An easy to use interface that allow you to edit video fairly quickly. After the work done we can save our work in various formats (among them the Ipod, Mobile, DivX, FLV) and finish it in a public or private audience with RSS syndication included.

Jumpcut [ http://www.jumpcut.com ]

You can use the editor with your Yahoo account. This tool lets you drag your pictures and video clips to form a home. And you can also add effects and transitions that will make your video a more elaborate work. In addition you can add captions to your photos for the image that lie. You can also add music, although in this case, must go through your computer. The video recording will be posted on the Web with tags favorites, also accompanied the description and the comments you make to others.

Muveemix [ http://www.muveemix.com ]

To use Muveemix, as with other editors, you must register. In this case, you will see that this is not a website for sharing videos, but rather to edit them and publish them on other platforms, like your blog, etc.. Is the simplest of all, when you do not ask too much technical knowledge. A wizard to guide us in the process, making it not enable us to solve all we like. In this case, the first thing you do is ask for the video files and images and want to add. Then do the same with music. Finally we asked for a title and a description of the production that we have produced. I end up giving us a url so that we can link the video on our blog.

What files, images, text I use the internet?

Sunday, Mar 29, 2009

I'm sure anyone was surprised with the question, and what is basically a statement as a cathedral: We can not publish everything on the internet. And why?

The majority of Internet content that runs, has an owner. Like this blog are mine, and your blog is yours, files, images, text, music ... also tend to have an owner. This is not always the owner who hangs on the Internet, but rather who has created or has been appropriate to use, and other banda is the owner who decided to use.

So we are a bit complicated thing. How do I know who the owner of an image? How can I find a picture if I can use? And what if I take an image and transform, happens to be mine?

You must know that there are licenses. Of these there are as many as you like. Many of them custom made, and other standard. Getting here can not explain all the licenses that invented the Web, explain that you will be fine to play content legally.

Creative Commons. This is one of the licenses you need to trust and the strength that you can find documentation in Catalan: http://cat.creativecommons.org

This license s'en derived from six different. These are subject to a combination of four characteristics:

Recognition Recognition (Attribution): In any exploitation of the work authorized by the license must reonèixer authorship.

Noncommercial Noncommercial (Non commercial) exploitation of the work is limited to noncommercial uses.

No Derivative Works No derivative works (not Derivate Works): The authorization to exploit the work does not include the transformation Crerar Auna derivative.

Share Alike Share Alike (Share Alike): The exploitation inlcou authorized the creation of derivative works as long as they keep the same license to be disclosed.

These logos will help you know the details of each license and therefore learn usage. I'm sure the film made from Creative Commons helps you understand:
