At Last! The Forgotten YouTube Video Downloader.

"Adrian, which software can I use for YouTube video download?"

"...and how can I convert the YouTube video to other video formats?"

I was asked these questions yesterday by my neighbour.

My neighbour, a friendly family man, is a financial planning trainer.

He uses lots of high-tech tools and media to communicate his message.

So he came across a YouTube video that might enhance his presentation.

He wants the video downloaded so that he can play back from his laptop.

I, the internet video expert, gave him the ultimate unexpected answer.

"There is no need to download any software to download YouTube videos."

"There is also no need for any software to convert the YouTube videos."

"All you need is ZamZar.com, an online video conversion service that is free!"

Just Go to ZamZar.com and follow the 4 easy steps:

Step #1. Enter the YouTube video URL. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc0ZXlIAHp4
Step #2. Select the video format you want to convert to. Popular video formats for playback on a PC are AVI, MPG and WMV.
Step #3. Enter your email address. Yes, you have to reveal your email address. If you are reluctant to give your email for fear of spam, then get yourself a disposable email address. http://email.about.com/od/disposableemailservices/tp/disposable.htm
Step #4. Hit “Convert” and wait for an email message from ZamZar.com with instructions to download your converted video.

So easy. This is not new. Just a forgotten or overlooked YouTube video downloader.

Try it and tell me what you think about ZamZar.com.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1. Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline. It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background. It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX... 2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
