iMovie Advice

As you may have already figured out iMovie can be rather unstable at times. After the last two multimedia II classes there are a few words of advice I'd like to offer the students. First off Save frequently (but not too frequently). I've found that if iMovie is going to crash on you it's usually when you're adding visual effects or titles so be sure to save before executing such actions. The problem is, if you save you can't undo to a point before the save. So my point is to save frequently but not after every little adjustment you make in your video. Secondly be prepared for iMovie to crash. That's just the way it is. Welcome to life with computers. Now go out and have some fun making videos.

Crimes against the KISS Rule

If keeping it simple is the name of the game (or at least mine) RED is in severe violation. The new camera titled Scarlet from RED is what's called a DSMC (Digital Still and Motion Camera) and with over 2 Quadrillion variations I can't even begin to wrap my brain around this camera. With the over abundance of options and the super expensive price tag my patience with this camera is slim to none. But if you're a gear head you might want to check out the RED web site to brush up on the specs so that you can receive your photo dork badge at the next photo expo.

Memories, Nothing more than Memory

I made the dive today and finally upgraded my RAM for my laptop. Anyone who owns a Mac knows that if you buy the RAM from them you're going to be paying out the wazoo. Luckily the people over at Crucial offer some great deals on RAM. Not only are they cheap but they make it super easy to find the right RAM for your computer. I just purchased 4GB (2x2GB sticks) for $55.00! That's about $150 less than I would have payed if I had bought it from Apple. So Apple thanks for your well polished super awesome sexy products but RAMs RAM and I'm going elsewhere to buy it. If you're looking for a preformance boost in your Mac I highly recomend Crucial the memory experts.
