No Zoom for Singapore Home Based Learning

No Zoom for Singapore Home Based Learning | Circuit Breaker Day 4

9 April 2020, Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) stopped schools from using the video conferencing platform Zoom after several hacking incidents.

Hackers hijacked live-streaming lessons with obscene pictures appearing on some students computer screens.
The security breach likely happened because the Zoom meetings were entered with just a given link instead of logging in with passwords.
Zoom does have security features built-in. We just need to know how to use them.

So for my upcoming class, I will continue to use Zoom, ensuring that participants join the session with password login.

The live online class will happen next weekend, on 18 April 2020, for the 2-day Videography and Video Editing Course for BEGINNERS.

In the mean time, I am practising my online presentation skills by going online and teaching mini-lessons for free. Take a look at this… https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=256427965516444&id=109841764488

What could be better? I was speaking in two tones. One for YouTube and one for Facebook. Why? I just felt that no one was watching, so i was just self-documenting. However, I did well for this one… https://www.facebook.com/VideoLane/videos/246179523235845/

What’s the difference? I knew there was an audience.

Go live and present like there are people watching even though you know there is no one.

Today is a public holiday. It’s Good Friday. Will I stream today? Yes… Double down… The topic will be Final Cut Pro X Video Editing… https://www.facebook.com/VideoLane/live/

Here’s the script… https://www.videolane.com/how-to-use-gopro-hero7-black-as-a-webcam-on-a-mac/

What am I thankful for today? Wifey and kiddos are all at home. I wish they could be at home all week to stay safe from the corona virus, but 2 of them have to go to work for their “essential service” company.

Have you encountered any Zoom hacking incident?

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...
