Video Making with CapCut

Making a video with CapCut:

This week I decided to make a video using the online resource CapCut. Signing up for this resource was free, and it even offers an app version. There is a premium version that requires payment, but the standard free version worked just fine for this project. 

I decided that I would do a slideshow sort of video, using a collection of pictures I took of some of my favorite art pieces that I have made over the last couple of years. It was simple to get started, with a large plus sign displayed on the screen, which then brings you to your library where you can select to add photos, videos, or some of both. For this I only used photos. After I selected all of the photos I wanted to add there was a highlighted "Add" button which brought me to a screen with all of the images laid out. On this page I could then use a number of tools, such as editing the individual images, and the video as a whole, adding music, and text, adjusting the time, speed, and transitions, and many more editing tools. Overall, I had a nice, simple, and straightforward experience with CapCut and would recommend this application to others looking for a simple video editing tool. I would also use this application again, myself.

  Reflection: Above you will see the 960x200 pixel banner I created using the online resource Pizlr. Using Pixlr I was able to make a custom-sized banner relatively easily, using the tools provided to insert images and text to make the finished product you see above. For this banner, I decided to find three logos with coincide with the areas of focus for the week, which will be discussed in the remainder of this blog.  Social Bookmarking: While social bookmarking resources are not commonly used as much right now, these websites could be used to save (bookmark) and label different resources and tools in one space. On these sites, the individual who inserts a bookmark can either publish such as public or private, which can then be looked up on these sites using the label assigned to each bookmark. The main use of social bookmarking sites is to make it easier to save and share bookmarks collectively in one space, making it easier to search and find these resources again when they...

Copyright and Fair Use

  Creativity, Copyright, and Fair Use More than likely, everybody uses online resources at one point or another, and along with this comes the need for understanding copyright and fair use. Copyright allows the creator of an original work to have legal ownership over their work. Everything we see online daily was created by somebody; pictures, music, videos, articles, etc. In most cases these resources we use are copyrighted by the creator, which is meant to ensure their work is not used by others without permission and approval of how it will be used, alterations, or giving credit to said creator. However, some resources found online are in the Public Domain. If a piece of work is under the Public Domain, this means that it is not copyrighted and can be used freely by anyone. Finally, there is the term 'fair use'. This refers to resources that are free to be used, without requesting permission, but come with restrictions. When using a work that is 'fair use' it is impo...

Accessibility and Equity in Media Accessibility Features & Requirements: Accessibility in the world of multimedia and technology is important in making tools usable to everybody and providing inclusivity to all potential disabilities of the audience. Several factors should be taken into account in terms of accessibility, including hearing, vision, cognitive impairments, and mobility. Things that may be accessible to one, are not always accessible to everyone, and therefore consideration of the potential issues of your viewers is essential in providing a good resource. Not only will this make your resource user-friendly and accessible to all, but some laws require anything uploaded to the public internet to be accessible and functional for all individuals, including those with disabilities (U.S. Access Board, 2024). Below are some ways to take into consideration, how to make media resources accessible to all users: Vision: Large text, or a tool to adjust the text sizing. Unless an i...
