Previous information:
Last week, we gave you some info in bulk. Among other things, the migration of the site was one topic. It was not finished, but now it looks like it's ok!
You've probably already noticed that :
- names of some pages changed (the menu bar is clearer)
- now it is no longer possible to click on the chapter headings (it was confusing some of you, who have not seen that more accurate information existed)
- on the home page, last comments are shown, not only for news articles, but also for tutorials (left part) !
Finally, we fix a bug related to the newsletter (for french readers). This is now corrected, mea culpa!
And last but not least, do not forget to consult on a regular basis our AVID Studio tutorials. We are currently updating our tutorials for adapting older Pinnacle tutorials to AVID Studio ! For more information, check Adapting our Pinnacle Studio Tutorials to AVID Studio !
Now, we will be able to focus on the content of our pages, rather than the design ....
Holidays are definitely ending for most of us and we'll have to head back to school or work. Well, it's sad and it's not easy but every year it's the same. By the way, in which category do you belong ? We will organize a small poll in a near future, to better target our readership!
To help you back on track, we offer the latest information of the summer, and all the latest news you need to know. But first I want to inform you that Le Papy is back from vacation, in better shape than ever, he has done a number of tutorials, Ijust for you... I will not say more and you will soon discover new stuff in the coming weeks ... Regarding saby, after a short summer break, he began to work very hard to serve you some nice tutorials too, as we like. GG has had a great time, and she has also brought you a little tutorial that you will found in a few weeks. As for me, I also paused this summer ... It is not always easy to write something each week, so we can repeat again and again, join us, especially since our latest arrival cyborgjeff, told us of a heavy schedule... He will no longer participate as he wished.
If you are wondering who is Le Papy, who is Saby, etc ..., then check Who is doing What on declic-video-fx.com website ?
Keep smiling and check the first part... If you were on holiday ....

Website updated
We carried out a major update of the site. For the reader, it does not change much, but it was necessary to stay up to date, and prevent hacking .... Oh yes, for the reader, you may have noticed the flags at the top, to change language.... Otherwise, the tutorials were also grouped in a single page, accessible here: all the tutorials for nonlinear video editing, video easy! Following this update, we still have some problems we are working on, if you find some, you will be kind to let us know!
Finally, we strongly advise you to navigate with Google Chrome or an alternative browser, because we noticed that our site is particularly slow to view and open in Internet Explorer 8. Google Chrome is here!
Finally, we would soon change the skin of our website, ie the way information is displayed. If you are a graphic designer or if you can help us, you are welcome, tell us!
Steve Links !
One of our regular readers, Steve Sherman, made us discover two sites that recently we have added the addresses in our Links section.
The first site is called Demo World and it's its Trailers section that interests us most. There are downloadable movie trailers from major companies in the world of film and television. In the download list, to get a trailer just click on the number in the Part column opposite in front of the trailer's name
The second site is called Ustream. It allows you to broadcast streaming videos shot with your camcorder or webcam. Imagine you are filming the first steps of Junior in your living room and you want to share live images to your parents who live on Saturn. Then, Ustream is for you if you have a camcorder, a capture card for PC or a webcam, a PC and a high speed internet access.
- connect your camcorder to the PC capture card
- go to Ustream
- top right click Sign up
- complete all fields for your account and click Creat my account bottom left

- top left click Go to channel

- top right click Go live!
- confirm the name oh the channel you want to broadcast
- in the new window that opens, click Start broadcast bottom right to start streaming
- in the display window where you clicked Go live!, click the Embed tab and note the URL found there
- give this URL by phoen or email to your parents and ask them to write it in their internet browser address bar
- miracle, the Saturnians can see Junior frolicking in the living room
You can even record your video and broadcast it later. It is true that the time difference between Earth and Saturn is important!
Once again, thanks a lot to Steve Sherman for having let us discover these sites.
