30+ Free Online Multimedia (Photo, Audio, Video) Editors
12/15/2016 12:12:00 pm
We tend to rely heavily on our favorite desktop applications like Photoshop, GIMP, Audacity, Adobe Premier and so on when it comes to dealing with multimedia files. What if we are on a public machine that doesn’t have the software we need, or worst, what if these public machines prevent users from installing applications? That is where web applications come in handy. Web applications have gained much attention and popularity over the pass few years. The reasons are simple – ubiquity, convenience and light. As long as you have a web browser that connects to the Internet, you can get your photo, audio or even video edited on the fly.Here’s a list of free web services that allows you to edit multimedia files (photo, audio and video) online.

What are 4:2:2, 4:1:1, and 4:2:0 anyway?
12/15/2016 11:48:00 am
These are all shorthand notations for different sampling structures for digital video. They are also used for CIF and QSIF and suchlike MPEG frame sizes, but in the discussion that follows, I focus on the numbers for SDTV (standard-definition TV) digitized to the ITU-R BT.601 standards: 13.5 MHz sample frequency and 720 pixels per line.
The first number refers to the 13.5 MHz sampling rate of the luma: "4" because (a) it's nominally almost approximately sort of four times the NTSC and/or PAL color subcarrier frequencies, and (b) because if it's "4" the other numbers can be integers whereas if it were "1" the formats would be "1:0.5:0.5", "1:0.25:0.25", and "1:0.5:0" respectively, and which would you rather try to read off in a hurry? The 13.5 MHz sampling yields 720 pixels per scanline in both 525/59.94 and 625/50 systems (NTSC and PAL/SECAM). This number applies to D-1, D-5, Digital Betacam, BetaSX, Digital-S, and all the DV formats just the same.
The other two numbers refer to the sampling rates of the color difference signals R-Y and B-Y (or, more properly in the digital domain, Cr and Cb)
In 4:2:2 systems (D-1, D-5, DigiBeta, BetaSX, Digital-S, DVCPRO50) the color is sampled at half the rate of the luma, with both color-difference samples co-sited (located at the same place) as the alternate luma samples. Thus you have 360 color samples (in each of Cr and Cb) per scanline.
In 4:1:1 systems (NTSC DV & DVCAM, DVCPRO) the color data are sampled half as frequently as in 4:2:2, resulting in 180 color samples per scanline. The Cr and Cb samples are considered to be co-sited with every fourth luma sample. Yes, this sounds horrible -- but it's still enough for a color bandwidth extending to around 1.5 MHz, about the same color bandwidth as Betacam SP (which, were it a digital format, would be characterized as 3:1:1).
So where does 4:2:0 (PAL DV, DVD, main-profile MPEG-2) fit in? 4 x Y, 2 x Cr, and 0 x Cb? Fortunately not! 4:2:0 is the non-intuitive notation for half-luma-rate sampling of color in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Chroma is sampled 360 times per line, but only on every other line of each field. The theory here is that by evenly subsampling chroma in both H and V dimensions, you get a better image than the seemingly unbalanced 4:1:1, where the vertical color resolution appears to be four times the horizontal color resolution.
Alas, it ain't so: while 4:2:0 works well with PAL and SECAM color encoding and broadcasting, interlace already diminishes vertical resolution, and the heavy filtering needed to properly process 4:2:0 images causes noticeable losses; as a result, multigeneration work in 4:2:0 is much more subject to visible degradation than multigeneration work in 4:1:1.
"Now how much would you pay? But wait, there's more!" In US implementations of 4:2:0, the color samples are supposed to be vertically interleaved with luma, whereas in European 4:2:0 they're supposed to be co-sited. Practically speaking, this is a headache for developers of codecs, encoders, and DVEs, but for DV purposes it's not especially exciting, since only European DV is 4:2:0.

SlowMo at 240fps
SlowGo lets you record your guests going crazy at 240fps then plays back the video in slow motion for tons of fun. Because anything less than 240fps is just faking it.Works with GoPro Hero Black. More cameras coming soon.
Share Immediately
Share your video immediately by e-mail right after seeing your slowed down video.
How it works
Download and install SlowGo to your laptop or tablet running Windows or OS X. Connect a supported high framerate video camera. Press a button and SlowGo will start counting down then record several seconds, download the video, slow it down, then play it back to your guests.
E-mail Sharing
Your guests can e-mail themselves the slowmo video to share with their friends. If you don't have an internet connection, e-mails get queued and sent once you have an internet connection.
Connecting To Camera And Camera Settings
To connect your camera to SlowGo, you'll first need to configure your camera's wireless settings. The easiest way is to download the GoPro mobile app for your smart phone, go through the wizard and make a note of your new wireless password.
Then go to your computer running SlowGo, connect to your GoPro's wifi network and enter the wireless password you just setup.
Recommended Camera Settings:
Protune: ON
White Balance: 5500K (If using daylight LED Panels)
ISO LIMIT: 1600 (Provided you have adequate lighting)
EV Comp: 0 to +2. +2 if using a white background.
